Body Cleanses and Weight Loss: Is There a Connection?
Do you want to lose weight? Although exercise and a healthy diet are the
best approaches to take, many are starting to turn to body cleanses, also known
as body detoxification. In recent years,
multiple celebrities have brought weight loss and cleansing attention. As nice as it is to hear from a celebrity
that you can lose weight with a body cleanse or detox, you may be wondering if
this is true.
So, is there is a connection between detox
and weight loss? Yes and no. It all depends on a number of important
factors. These factors include:
The detox diet used. You may be surprised to hear how many ways
there are to detox your body. Before you
start a body detox plan, it is important to know your options. These options include water fasting, juice
fasting, the Master Cleanse, the use of detox pills and patches, the
consumption of all-natural foods, and exercise.
Water fasting, juice fasting, and the
Master Cleanse are three popular detox diet methods. These methods are popular as they allow for
the largest weight loss. This is due in
part to the consumption of solid foods, as there is none. As enticing as it is to lose the most weight,
fasting is not right for everyone. Those
who are overweight, those who have become dependent on foods, and those with certain
medical conditions may not only find it difficult to fast, but dangerous.
Organic only foods are an easy way to detox
your body, as you are still able to eat, unlike with fasting. The detoxification process will be slower,
but when you stop putting unnatural foods and chemicals into your body, it can
begin to repair itself. If on an organic
only detox diet, you may notice a slight weight loss. This is because all-natural foods are healthier.
The length of your detox diet. How long you detox for will impact your
results, including weigh loss. Generally
speaking, the longer you detox, the more weight you will lose. However, before you start a month long detox
plan, it is important to know the risks.
When consuming organic only foods, your
body still receives needed nutrients, for that reason cleanses can last much
longer. With the Master Cleanse and
juice fast, your body will lack nutrients, but it will still receive some. That is why detox lengths vary. Most recommend a week to two weeks, but
always listen to your body and its warning signs. As for water fasting, extreme caution is
advised. Your body will receive no
nutrients at all. Too long, such as five
days or more, and the risk of health complications arise.
Your weight. Your current weight will also impact your
weight loss success on a detox diet. The
more you weigh, the easier it will be for you to lose weight. For example, if you are 20 pounds overweight,
you may lose weight on a detox diet.
However, if you are at a healthy weight, you may not lose any weight at
all.
Your lifestyle changes. As you can see, it is possible to lose weight
with a body detox or cleanse. With that
said, your weight can return just as easily as you lost it. When you start adding solid foods into your
diet, you will automatically start to gain weight. You can, however, make healthy choices. By eliminating foods high in sugar, fats, and
calories, or by making the switch to organic, you can maintain a healthy weight
for years to come.
You can lose weight on a detox diet, but
your results will vary. The main goal of
a detox diet should be to improve your overall health and wellbeing. If you are solely interested in losing
weight, this approach is not right for you.
Remember, your weight loss may be significant, but it will only be
temporary. Instead, rely on a
combination of healthy eating and exercise.
