Anybody know anything about ‘detox’ diets?
Seems as though I'm on a sort of "health kick" right now. Last week it was acne, this week it's detox diets. Sort of on a roll, I guess.
I'm asking about detox diets in general. I was reading something about split opinions -- the gurus pushing particular diets suggest they're great, of course, but critics say they're based on nice sounding "pseudo science," not sound medicine.
And there are products for special diets that have the name detox in them, such as one I was reading about just awhile ago, Orovo detox, which their site says is a detoxifying blend of "super foods" that cleanse the body and lead to fat burning and weight loss.
I'm skeptical about a pill or a beverage that will solve the many, many problems that cause people to be overweight. I've tried a ton of diets personally over the years, and I've lost a ton of weight on various diets -- then gained it all back and more when I've quite the diet and just started my "normal" eating again. The most success I've personally ever had at "dieting" was one occasion a few years ago when I simply ate a balanced diet in moderate amounts and exercised regularly.
SO -- what do you know about detox diets, detox products, the whole "world" of detox? Care to share it with the rest of us?
