There’s a lot of talk among wellness-obsessed celebrities about detox diets, which are also known as deprivation diets. Traditionally, a detox was something done to eliminate the body of toxins by helping to flush them out. But many celebs use detox as a way to lose weight fast, as Gwyneth Paltrow proved when she sent out a newsletter from GOOP.com saying she needed to lose a few pounds of holiday weight fast and would be going on a weeklong detox diet. Although a detox can help you lose weight, simply because you are depriving yourself of food, that wasn’t its original purpose.
“There are a lot of people who believe that because we live in a world with so many environmental pollutants and medications that people are taking, the liver is overstressed,” Mary Jane Detroyer, a New York-based registered dietitian and exercise physiologist, tells Fitness Magazine. “The whole idea of a detox diet is to rid toxins from the body because the liver is overloaded and needs some outside help.”
You’ll find tons of information out there about specific cleanses that celebrities rely on to detox and lose weight. But these four cleansing foods that naturally detox your body are a safer way to detox your system — and they’re celeb favorites.
