How does the Detox diet plan work?

Many detox diets exist but we will focus on Dr Elson Haas’ of the Preventive Medical Center in California. She recommends following her cleansing diet for 5- to 7-days several times a year for optimal health.

According to Dr. Haas, people who detox can prevent, treat or dramatically improve health due to congestive problems. Examples of congestive problems include colds, flu, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, arthritis, allergies, and acute and chronic diseases, which clog tissues and cells.

People suffering from fatigue, coldness, hair loss or dry skin – all symptoms of nutritional deficiencies -will benefit from a wholesome, nourishing diet and detox to aid healing. And banning harmful substances will help rejuvenate the body. Harmful substances include caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, refined sugar and food chemicals.

What food can I eat?

Her program increases fruit and vegetables, reduces animal fats and animal-based proteins, and bans damaging substances. It consists of three meals a day; with vegetable water and water with lemon juice in place of snacks.

Eating more fruits and vegetables; drinking more water; limiting animal fats and proteins; and eliminating caffeine, alcohol, nicotine and refined sugars are found in many detox diets and produce beneficial effects in and of themselves.

Is it a Healthy Diet?

No scientific evidence exists yet to prove medical problems can be prevented or improved by cleansing and detoxification. Most experts view it as harmless and not necessary as the body can maintain itself. But nutrient deficiencies may result if followed for longer than a few days.

Top Marks

• Dietary changes, such as eating more fruit and vegetables, drinking more water and eliminating caffeine, alcohol, nicotine and refined sugars, will help you lose weight and feel better.
• Suggestions such as relaxing before and after meals, taking your time to eat and thoroughly chewing your food can aid digestion and the ability to realize if you are full.

Potential Problems

• It is difficult to maintain and can promote nutrient deficiencies if followed longer than a few days.
• During the first few days, side-effects can include irritability, fatigue, flu-like feelings, headaches, and mild sinus congestion but Dr Haas believes by day 3 or 4 you’ll feel better, if not before.
• It may be necessary to include a small portion of protein in the mid-afternoon if you feel weak or hungry.

Will I lose weight?

The very low levels of calories, protein, fat and carbohydrates will help you lose weight. But, given the short timeframe weight loss may not occur, be significant or produce long-lasting results.
