Detox Diets

Detox Diets, proponents say, eliminate from the body toxins encountered in daily life -- polluted air and water, hormones in some foods, and even harmful chemicals in cleaning products. The body ordinarily processes those toxins through the liver and kidneys.

Detox diets can last anywhere from one weekend to a whole month and are designed to eliminate the build-up of waste toxins in your body.

During the course of the program, the practitioner avoids animal products and dairy and goes vegan. Some programs even include abstaining from confrontation with others, billing itself as a holistic detox.

Participants start off on a plant-based diet, move on to raw food and then go on a blended liquid fast.

The blended liquid is a greenish concoction called "energy soup," consisting of pulverized alfalfa, barley grass, algae, herbs, enzymes, and antioxidants.

Many of these diets also encourage you to undergo "colonic irrigation," (aka enema, which flushes out your rectum and colon using water), to "clean out" your colon. Other plans recommend herbal supplements to help the cleansing process. But for many purists fasting ("water only") is the way to go.
