Scope and Limitations
Most of these diets involve fasting or going on a liquid diet for about a couple of days and then adding organic foods like brown rice, fruit and steamed vegetables to the diet. After a week of this routine, detox followers gradually reintroduce other foods - except red meat, wheat, sugar, eggs and junk food - into their diet.
Detox diets are also not recommended for people with diabetes, low blood sugar and eating disorders. In addition, many of the supplements used as a part of a detoxification programme may actually be laxatives that cause dehydration, mineral imbalances and digestive disorders.
