This means any promise of \u201ccleansing the body\u201d via a diet is not science-backed. Even if a certain detox plan makes you feel better and refreshed, such a quick fix won\u2019t make much impact as you go back to the old nutrition habits right after. And if some toxic chemicals have already damaged your liver and other organs (which is very rare), playing a \u201creverse card\u201d is impossible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for whether one can lose weight in 7 days or less with a detox diet plan, the answer is more straightforward.

Such diets often require fasting, severely limit protein intake, and highly rely on raw fruits and vegetables. Some can resort to exclusive consumption of liquids like <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/grapefruit-diet\/\">fruit juices<\/a> and nothing more to \u201cflush your system\u201d. Using supplements and enemas (colon cleansing) to physically cleanse the intestines is also common.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Needless to say, such drastic approaches may lead to vitamin, protein, and mineral deficiencies and fatigue (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/nutrition-and-healthy-eating\/expert-answers\/detox-diets\/faq-20058040\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/jhn.12286\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Another risk is overdose on supplements, laxatives, and sometimes even water (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/jhn.12286\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). So taking up a 7-day liquid detox diet plan or a 7-day vegan <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/watermelon-detox\/\">detox diet<\/a> plan like a juice cleanse can do more harm than good due to their nutritional inadequacy and other risks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>BetterMe app is a foolproof way to go from zero to a weight loss hero in a safe and sustainable way!
