A Reassessment of Lifestyle and Eating Habits

However, most dieticians and nutritionists concur that detox diets do prompt a healthy reassessment of one's lifestyle and eating patterns. "One of the main benefits of detox programs is that it gets you to focus on food like never before, becoming more aware of what you're consuming, how much, what's good for you and what's not. So it's an excellent awareness-building exercise."

In other words, everyone agrees that lots of veggies, fruits and water are good for the body. But the human body also needs nutrients from eclectic food groups - protein from lean meats, eggs, beans and peas; calcium from milk or yoghurt, good fats like Omega 3 fatty acids and carbohydrates. So if you miss out on these, it'll be like running your body on a low fuel matter.
