Detox diets and cleanses supposedly clear the body of allegedly toxic substances. But the evidence suggests otherwise.

As a registered dietitian, I have seen clients attempt detox diets and experience a slew of negative side effects, including developing a negative relationship with food. But our bodies aren’t always functioning optimally. That’s why a proper diet and improved lifestyle behaviors, such as increased exercise and sleep, may have a significant – and positive – impact on the body’s detoxification system.
Although proponents claim that detox diets and juice cleanses lead to weight loss, improved liver function and overall better health, research shows they have little to no effect. What’s more, they can lead to side effects, including headaches, fatigue, weakness, fainting and irritability. However, studies show there is some evidence that certain foods and spices, such as coriander, may enhance the body’s natural detoxification pathways.
Some detox diets and programs can have serious side effects, particularly those including laxatives or enemas, or those that restrict intake of solid foods. These approaches can lead to dehydration, nutrient deficiencies and electrolyte imbalances.
