Fasting and Detox Diets

Fasting and detox diets are not weight loss plans. Instead, these plans focus on cleansing the body and improving health. Weight loss is simply a pleasant side effect. Some people believe fasting means a water fast, but there are a diverse selection of popular fasting diet plans today. Some like the [[Daniel Diet for Fasting|| are based on religious beliefs while others like the Detox Diet to Cure Fibromyalgia are said to help specific health conditions.

The fasting and detox diets category provides information on the latest cleanses on the market as well as looking at detox plans like the Master Cleanse Diet that have been around for years.

Side Effects of Fasting and Detox Diets

Learn which fasting and detox diets are healthy and which ones border on fad diets. It's important to educate yourself before you start because side-effects like migraine headaches can be debilitating. Because of this it's wise to start a fast or detox when you know you'll have time off from regular responsibilities until detox symptoms pass.

Detoxing is not something new. Fasting is a long-standing spiritual tradition, and our bodies naturally work to eliminate and neutralize toxins everyday. Fasting helps flush the toxins out of your system.

If you are considering fasting for the first time, perhaps consider a "mini-fast" that lasts a weekend, and be sure to read up on how to end a fast in order to transition back to eating solid foods or foods restricted during your fast. No matter which fast or detox plan you decide to follow be sure to talk to your health care provider first to be sure that it is safe for you.
