Question:
Have you done--or known someone else who did--detox diet? What did it
consist of? How long did you do it? What was the hardest/easiest part
of the process? Why did you do it? What were the results? Would you do
it again? Why or Why not? What advice would you give others
considering this type of diet?
Answer:
The detox diet is utter crap. there is no evidence that the detox diet helps
at all. The conjecture behind the theory is from the middles ages (well,
perhaps it is older). It has not scientific support at all.
My advice: Eat a healthy diet and get lots of excercise.
The whole idea of toxins came from before the middle ages when they didn't
know what the liver did or how the body works. In those days, they didn't
even know that the heart pumps blood. The whole detox thing is based on
assumptions that are now known to be false, like toxins from inside the
colon get into the body (not true -- the colon is made to hold the waste and
toxins inside the colon and not let them get into the body), that some diets
help toxins get out of the body through the liver, which is untrue (the
liver does it detoxification thing regardless of diet) and other unproven
beliefs.
