How does detoxing cause weight loss? Does it take fat off?

Does detoxing just remove excess water and crap from your intestines? What about fat?

I have heard my old gentleman friend talked about this detox program that he underwent. Of course, remember to ask your doctor first before you embark on this drastic measure because your health may not be able to take it.

So, this dear old friend of mine went on detox program with the hope of losing his beer belly. But he didn’t. Of course he cannot lose fat but the detox program is said to clear his inner system, making his feel much active.

  1. It removed all bad toxins, chemicals, etc… from your body. The lack of calories you eat during that “diet” causes the weight loss.

  2. most likely it causes you to stop eating junk food, excess fats, refined sugars, and other things that make you fat or bloated
    it is supposed to help remove toxins from you system

    There is no scientific evidence that detox diets really detoxify your body, they are just a fad diets. The reason why you lose weight is because when you are on them you consume less calories than you normally would on a regular diet.

  4. There’s no real need for “detoxing” - most nutritionists suggest this is just a fad. It works because you are taking in more fluids which promotes healthy skin tone and weight loss. You are also lowering your sodium intake which will lead to some water weight loss. In addition, if there is a fiber component you might get your “system going” if you have been a little backed up. Many detoxing programs are also very low calorie so you lose some weight from that as well. But in normal healthy adults our bodies do a fine job detoxing themselves so you don’t need to go on a specific detoxing ritual.
