Detox - anyone tried one?

They seem to be becoming quite popular recently. I just don't think that they sound all that healthy to me. I really don't know though they might be fine. I would do some research on them first and ask your doctor about the benefits of them before you do one.

I think that detox is a bit unhealthy. I think you shouldn't starve your body for any length of time if you don't have to.

To be honest they just make me feel ill. I've done a couple and each time my lasting memory of it is that of extreme tiredness and terrible headache.

Well then this wouldn't be for me then. I have enough trouble with being tired. Sure don't need anything that will make me feel tired.

I have seen this recommended by trainers and dietitians actually. But I think you need to have a talk to a professional before you do this. They will be able to tell you what kind of detox and for how long etc.

Still, is it like fasting for a length of time? My ex-mother in law used to do something like this a few times for religious reasons. It just seemed like a horrible thing to do to yourself, although she often said she felt better afterwards.
