Diet Information: Detox Diets
Detoxing diets are not so much about weight loss, but about
cleansing the body by removing poisons and toxins. This type of
dietary programme has gained popularity in the Western world as
people become more aware about overloading their body with foods
and drinks that are toxic.
Celebrities such as Carol Vorderman and Kim Wilde advocate a
regular detox to keep them healthy and trim.
A detox programme can be beneficial to your overall health by
also retraining your taste buds and appetite but, as with all
dietary programmes, always consult your Doctor before embarking
on one.
Most people who do go on a detox diet find that they do lose
weight and maintain a healthier eating plan even after the detox
has finished.
There are many different types of detoxing programmes available
which you can find out about online or in books and other
resources.
There are liquid detox diets (normally found in chemists) but
these should only be followed for the recommended time on the
instructions as such simplified) diets may have dangerously low
amount of calories and poor nutritional content. This is not a
good practice to employ long term when dieting as not only will
your health be damaged, but once you start eating normally
again, the weight will pile back on even faster.
Because detoxing can be a shock to the body, it is recommended
by nutritionists that you start it the programme at a time when
you dont have a lot of other things on especially not
anything strenuous or physical.
Many people report a variety of symptoms when they first start a
detoxing dietary programme, for example, lack of energy, an
outbreak of spots, headaches etc. But this is just part of the
bodys cleansing process and, so detox fans report, at the end
of the dietary programme, you should feel lighter, your skin
should be clear and youll have renewed energy levels.
