Cleansing diets
have become very popular in the last few
years. Cleansing diets are also known
as detoxification diets. They are considered
detox diets because they are reported
to remove toxins or poisons from the body
that have purportedly built up due to
years of eating an unhealthy diet or because
of being exposed to pollution and other
toxic chemicals in everyday life.
One very popular result of cleansing
diets is that they help people lose weight
very fast. This is most likely due to
a combination of factors. One of the main
things that happens during a cleansing
diet is that quite often you get a release
of waste from your colon. This waste may
have been impacted or lodged there for
some time. This release of waste will
cause a loss of weight when you weigh
yourself.
However, another more common factor that causes
weight loss during a cleansing diet is
that the person doing the cleanse is changing
their diet to one that contains more fresh
fruits and vegetables. When raw fruits
and vegetables are the bulk of a person's
diet rapid weight loss often occurs. Fruits
and vegetables
are full of fiber and many fruits and
vegetables are low calorie with a high
water content. This helps the person doing
the cleanse to feel full, eat less, and
feel satisfied.
