<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Detox Diets May Not be Good for You
One detox plan may include a well-rounded nutrient-rich diet with few calories, while another leaves a person with nothing to fuel the body. A detox diet that requires too much water, includes unsafe supplements or restricts particular food groups may be especially dangerous for anyone with a pre-existing health condition such as diabetes or an autoimmune disorder.
On the Other: Detox Diets May Not Hurt You
Detox diets are nothing new and many incorporate them into their lifestyle. Some find that a detox diet helps in starting a weight loss program while others swear by the health benefits. For most people and with most detox plans, done over a short period of time, side effects are caused only by a temporary lack of calories and therefore not dangerous.
Bottom Line
"Short period of time" is an important phrase. The safety of detox diets varies according to the particular detox plan and the health of the individual. You can avoid the dangers by talking to your doctor before starting a detox diet.
