k so i just started a detox diet yesterday…today sucks…i woke up with stomach cramps, and i had diarrhea.yuck…..i feel really tired and weird…i know this is your body cleaning itself out but how long does this last? and i was wondering how long it takes to see results from a detox diet? Anyone who has been through one? any tips???
my diet consists of:
green tea(no sugar, no anything, just the tea)
fruits,
vegetables and,
lots and lots of water.
i will be doing this diet for 1 month.
Fad diets, starvation diets, fasting, and diet pills do not work. Any diet that is temporary will only produce results that are temporary at best.
Losing fat any faster than about 4 lbs a week is impossible. Any additional weight you might lose would either be water weight, or your muscle atrophying.
The only way to lose fat is a complete lifestyle change where you stop doing what made you obese in the first place and adopt healthy eating and exercise habits for the rest of your life.
Detox pills, and detoxification and cleansing in general, are neither useful nor necessary unless you have had long-term narcotic use or are chronically constipated. Detoxification and cleansing has no proven medical benefits for the average person whatsoever. It will NOT help you lose any significant amount of fat. Your intestines are clean unless you use large amounts of muscle relaxers, or have serious digestive illness.
If you keep this diet up for a month you will finish up in hospital with malnutrition. As well as being almost bereft of protein and fat, you will be losing what little good is in the diet due to constant diarroea. Unless you consult your doctor on this, you will be "cleaning out" at your peril.
