I can’t stress this enough, if you want to lose weight and get healthy, all you have to do is eat less and watch how much you eat. The ONLY reason that people lose weight with these diets is because they consume very little calories. It has nothing to do with the fruits, vegetables, or maple syrup bullshit that they’re drinking. The answer is simple – the people who use detox diets eat very little calories. But how do people lose weight and get healthy with detox diets?Īs you can see, I’m not a fan of detox diets and neither should you be, but then how is it that millions of people are able to use it with success? Your kidneys and liver detox just fine by themselves. So if you overdosed on prescription medicine or accidentally drank some rat poison, then only then would you actually have to detox your body with professional medical help.īut when it comes to losing weight and health, the term detox has ABSOLUTELY no meaning at all. The official definition of detox is to rid the body of poisonous substances. It’s crazy, but I think that people who use detox diets have this imaginary image in their mind that all the juice that they’re drinking is somehow “attacking” all the “dirty” stuff in their body and removing it. If you have any research to show me, then please, be my guest. I mean, even if I wanted to, I couldn’t quote any research about detox diets because there is none. Everything you read about detox diets is just a combination of theory and really good marketing. I mean, even doctors and scientists deny the fact that “detoxing” does anything for your body. There is literally not a single piece of scientific research that shows that these diets are effective. Like seriously, there are things in fitness and health that are somewhat arguable, but detox and cleansing diets are NOT one of them. Detoxing with juice had nothing to do with it at all.īut that’s the problem, most people are going to watch Fat, Sick, And Nearly Dead and think that it was the juice, not the reduced calorie intake that resulted in Joe’s weight loss, and that’s just going to continue fueling the fallacy that detox diets are good. But did Joe lose the weight because of all the fruits and veggies he drank? HELL NO! Joe lost weight because he was consuming an extremely low calorie diet, nothing more. It’s a movie about an incredibly overweight and unhealthy man named Joe Cross who decides to go on a juice cleanse where he will drink nothing but fresh fruit and vegetables for 60 days.Īnd spoiler warning, the movie ends with Joe losing significant amounts of weight and becoming healthy again. From the Master Cleanse to Natalia Rose and her crazy diets, these companies and people will do anything to convince you that detoxifying your body is the greatest thing in the world.Īnd let’s not forget about celebrities like Beyonce and Salma Hayek who endorse these very diets, because you know, people will do believe anything Beyonce says or does.Īlso, we have these ridiculous movies that come out like Fat, Sick, And Nearly Dead. Why do people do these cleansing and detox diets?īecause there is an incredible marketing/advertising force behind these diets. I gotta be honest, just writing that first sentence was painful, but there are still millions of people out there who actually believe that putting all those ingredients in a blender and drinking it will actually “cleanse” and “detox” their body. Alright so that’s 2 carrots, 1 head of broccoli, 10 grapes, a couple slices of ginger, and some celery.
