Abstract

Detox diets are used to eliminate various toxins from the body but also weight loss. This is possible through low calorie intake and the elimination of water and feces retained by the body. Detox diets also pose many health risks mainly due to caloric restriction, but also inadequate nutrition, often focusing only on certain groups of nutrients. Extreme fasting leads to vitamin deficiencies, electrolyte imbalance, acidosis and can even cause death. Overdose with food supplements, laxatives, diuretics or even edema due to excessive water consumption can easily lead to detoxification if the treatment is not performed under specialized supervision and rationally.
