Many patients are curious about trying a detox diet or fast. The purpose of a detox is to provide a catalyst to help folks change their eating habits or state or health. It can also be a way to identify how eating the wrong foods ( ex. wheat or dairy) can be contributing to mood swings and foggy thinking. 
It can be a great way to break an over-eating pattern after the holidays or the doldrums of Summer. Your motivation should not be to lose weight because the weight loss you experience will be temporary unless you continue to make some changes in the way you eat.
We have a really good, simple “5 Day Detox Plan” that we share with patients who want to step back from their eating patterns.
