Ahhh...detox, it continues to be the buzzword in diet circles. As always, it seems that we will stop at nothing to lose weight, as some of the most drastic detox plans show. But, do these measures really work? And more importantly are they supportive of long-term weight loss success?

That physical purification includes the removal of toxins from the body including the skin, respiratory system and the digestive tract. “These diets are not primary intended as weight-reduction regimens,” it states with no small measure of certainty. That being said, try Google “weight-loss detox methods,” and you will be inundated with weight-loss detox diets. They range from extreme to patently ridiculous, from “Beyoncé’s master cleanse” and “water detox diet” to the Air diet, where you consume nothing but air. With the latter, you might lose w...

A juice cleanse is a tempting prospect, but before you even consider embarking on one you should know how to do it safely. Preparation is the key. You might think you just dive into drinking only juice for two to three days, but there's a lot more to it than that. It's important to start eliminating certain types of food in the run-up to your cleanse in order to reduce the withdrawal symptoms that you will experience. These foods include alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine, as well as refined sugar and beyond. It isn't just about eliminating, you should also start to increase your intake of water, fruits, and vegetables before you start your juice cleanse.

So, you’ve finally found a diet that’s easy to follow and you’re losing weight. Great. However, have you ever considered you’re losing more than just the weight and could be harming your health in the long-term.
