Question:
I didn't realize that there were so many 'detox'
(detoxification) diets out there. I became interested in finding out
more about them after reading "The Warrior Diet" (which includes
detoxification as part of the feeding 'cycle').
However... I can't really find any good, scientific support for
detoxification.
Just wondered what you guys think here. Is it just a bunch of
new-age hooey, or is there really something to this 'detox' thing?
Anyone doing a 'detox-type diet'?
Anyone know of any good links or resources in support of, or against,
detox?
Answer:
By the time I heard of this stuff I was well on the way in my weight
loss, so I never saw any need to do it. It just sounds unpleasant,
and like it would be hard to keep up with my normal activities during
the time I was doing it.
When I read the subject heading, I thought for a second you meant alcohol
detox. Detox to me is when you suddenly stop some substance that's been
addictive, whether it's alcohol, cocaine, caffeine, or sugar. I have
suddenly stopped both sugar and caffeine in the past, and can tell you the
first week is very unpleasant. But products that help you detox? phooey
There is only one thing, IMO, that is the best detox there is - water.
Simple and effective. My two cents.
