Why would you Detox...Stop!

With celebrities all jumping on the detox bandwagon, so is the general public. We have all heard of these crazy diets; such as the Master Cleanse Diet, the Maple Syrup Diet, and even the Waterfall Diet. Lets get real people, these are no long term fixes for your weight issues and should only be done for maybe 1 day.

Your body is an effiecent machine. It detoxes itself everyday and if your body can't do it on its own then there is something wrong with you. These diets do more harm than good. It all sounds promising doesnt it? Clean your body of unwanted toxins, loose a few pounds, and feel energized again. This is all marketing crap.

Here is what will really happen. Your body will start breaking down muscle to use for energy leading to weight gain due to decrease metabolic activity, sounds great huh?? Not so much. Other great benefits (warning sarcasm coming) include malnutrition, nausea, headaches, fatigue, increased temper, and my favorite death. Do you really want to but your body through this?

Imagine a car running on no oil, lubricants, and gas. This in essence is what your body will be doing with no source of food in it. Even if you are having a little maple syrup for sugar. I might even go try this on my car...maybe I will get better gas mileage!!!

So please people for your bodies sake, just eat right and exercise correctly and you will succeed faster than with a 21 day starvation hype.
