I wish that there was better information about detox programs readily available to the general public. Too many people end up on regimens that really are bad for them in some way or another. But there are good programs out there, programs that ensure that you get the nutrients that you need while cleansing out toxins (many peoples' bodies do rid themselves of the toxins that we take in from food and air, but some, like mine, don't do a very good job of it) as well as determining whether or not you've developed any food allergies.
I lost weight from my detox only because I was eating healthier (no processed food, no snacking, all organic, limited meats, limited caloric intake in general), not because my body was being "flushed out." And I didn't feel deprived. I actually felt great throughout the majority of the process.
Post-cleanse, my fibro is so much easier to manage! I think that this was one of the best things that I've ever done for myself. But when I tell people about my experience, they go off on me about how detoxing is BAD and I'm stupid for having spent the money, assuming that I did some fad diet or something. They don't bother to ask me about my experience. It can be very frustrating.
I'm glad to see that the article talks about the importance of consuming whole foods - that's something that more people should be aware of. I just wish that there weren't so many doctors on board with the whole mentality that all detox programs are a waste of time and money, and overall are an unhealthy experience.
