When you start considering detoxification diet, you often get caught up in looking for the right plan for you. You may have some questions and doubts - are detox detox diets safe? How do I choose the right meals? If that questions are familiar, read on before starting your diet with wrong objectives or information.

The main point that the detox diet is based on, is that plenty of the foods we serve every day on our tables may be devastating to our health. Toxins included in those foods are usually kept in the tissue of our organisms. And there is only one way to get rid of them efficiently - detoxification. And by detoxification I mean consuming only particular types of foods, that are not processed or modified. Eating those carefully selected nutrients will help our bodies get rid of the toxic substances and improve our overall health.

Some easy and popular diets are based on the scientifically proven fact, that if you replace all the junk food with healthy ingredients like vegetables and fruits, you will eventually start losing weight. The other key factor of those diets is water - and lots of it. You should at least drink 2 litres of water a day, and skip the fizzy drinks.

But not every detox diet is so easy. There are some people that promote very strange diets - like the lemonade diet. Its main principle is drinking enormous amounts of liquids (like lemonade) and skipping all the foods, in the effort of cleansing your body from toxins. Although there are people claiming to have good results with this type of diet, they don't seem too trustworthy. In my opinion, starving yourself is dangerous for your health and should not be used as a way to lose weight.

The first thing you need to do before starting your new detoxification diet is consulting your doctor. They have the necessary knowledge to tell you if the plan you chose is safe for you to use, and if it is going to provide results. Also remember, that some diet specialists will advise methods that were not scientifically proven to work. Do your homework - visit your doctor and ask him for security measures and possible dangers of your diet plan.

After you have talked to your doctor, it's time to start your diet. Your strong will is required here - stick to the diet rules and stop eating the forbidden foods, also make sure that you consume your meals more often, but in smaller quantities. Another crucial point is physical exercise. You should create a plan for regular activities, as they are very beneficial for your health and also good mood. If you are not able to complete the exercises you planned in good form, consider lowering the amount of exercise till your fitness level goes up. If exercises make you nauseous, stop doing them. A detox diet can help you a lot, but if not done well, it may do serious damage to your body. Always remember to listen to what your body is telling you - if you feel good on the diet, that's great. If you feel sick, depressed or dizzy, you could have chosen the wrong diet.
