I can't believe this fad/trend hasn't gone away. Are people still under the impression that starving yourself, or just drinking liquids is a good way to cleanse the body? Let me be real with all of you for a moment: Detox diets don't work, and are potentially hazardous to your health.
I could point out the many articles from well-respected doctors, dieticians, etc., but just read this from WebMD.
The answer to healthy eating is simple: control your portions, and eat your fruits, veggies, grains and protiens. Seriously, that's it. It's been proven over and over that a healthy lifestyle, notice I didn't say diet, consists of following the major food group guidelines. Splurge once in a while - eat that brownie! It'll make you feel good about yourself, and depraving yourself of treats is sure to fail, or make you miserable. Simply watch your caloric intake, and adjust according to your size, goals and workout routine. Yes, you need to workout.
Imagine your two legs represent your health - one for healthy eating, and one for exercise. Pretty hard to stand on one leg, right? Same thing with your lifestyle - if you eat right, but don't exercise it won't be easy to maintain balance in your life.
Until next time...
