Detox Diet: Does It Really Work?
October 10, 2008
Human beings are full of weakness. The majority of us are what we can termed as “followers”. We love to follow fads and for those who are overweight, they tend to follow the fad that can promote weight loss. One of these fad is the Detox diet plan. Whether this Detox diet plan actually works is hard to say. But from observations, people who followed this detox diet plan do lose some weight initially but later they also gain back all the “lost” weight.
One of the main reasons why this is such the case because our body is saturated with toxins. Therefore any counter measure that we take are totally useless. We accumulated all these toxins from various sources like from talcum powder, food, the air we breathe etc. although our body had already developed a healthy detox system which can cope with the general toxins, it cannot keep up with the synthetic chemicals which has been introduced into our bodies.
It is not that only adults’ bodies are full of toxins; studies have pointed out that even a newborn child inherits loads of toxins from his mother’s body. Scientists have also claimed that the detox diets simply do not work the way they should and hence, they are totally unnecessary!
These toxins damage your system to such an extent that you begin to eat more and more, while burning less and less food at the same time. Eventually, the unburned foods get deposits in your body as fat, the reason why you become overweight! Foods such as cheese (esp. the processed ones), cream, butter etc are usually contaminated and should be avoided as much as possible.
The best advice regarding detox diet plan which I can offer, is that, avoid foods that has been processed. Rather consume foods that are grown organically and not processed artificially. Examples of which are raw fruits and vegetables ideal foods for those seeking quick weight loss. Also drink plenty of water as this will helps your body to increase its metabolism rate. Avoid drinks like beer, soda, alcohol & soft drinks. White flour & sugar should also be avoided as all these are high in what we term as “empty calories”. They have no beneficial effects but just good in making you fat.
Also look for foods which contain complex carbs like potatoes. These are good for your health.
For fatty foods, look for foods which contain unsaturated fats like Tuna, or Salmon. Foods like butter & Cream contains saturated fats which are bad for us and also makes us fat. With these explanations, I hope they will help you to plan your detox diet plan properly and lose weight quickly as well.
