Australian Dietitians Urge Women to Dump Detox Diets

DAA's spokeswoman, Melanie McGrice, said, "We're urging young women to forget magic powders, awful-tasting drinks and starvation plans, and to be wary of any diet that promises a quick or dramatic results. There is little evidence that detox diets worked. Instead, they could lead to dehydration, fatigue, bad breathe, constipation, dizziness and nausea."

She said, "The best 'detox' is drinking plenty of water, and eating a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, wholegrain breads and cereals, lean meat, chicken or fish, lower-fat dairy foods and healthy fats."
