Recommendations if You're Starting a Detox Diet
Define what a detox diet means to you. Is it a commitment to eat more healthfully, minimizing exposure to processed foods and chemicals? Or, something more extreme, which might include severe deprivation or laxative and colonic use? If it’s the former, by all means continue to consume a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and water; and low in or free of alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine. If it’s the latter, consult both a physician and dietitian to minimize potential harm, and get more information on how to try a detox diet without significant risk to your health.
Make sure you understand the benefits and risks of detox regimens, and explore possible alternative methods that might help improve your health and purify (such as an overall healthy diet that is not nutritionally deficient and regular physical activity).
Recognize that children and adolescents; pregnant and breastfeeding women; older adults with impaired kidney or liver function; individuals with chronic illness such as diabetes, cancer, heart disease, or gastrointestinal disease; individuals with eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia; those with irritable bowel syndrome; and individuals on blood thinning medication are at high-risk for negative health outcomes from following a detox diet.
