Positives

Detox diets do encourage some good habits such as eating
more fruit and vegetables, drinking more water and cutting down on junl
on junk food and processed foods. Plus they encourage you to cut back on caffeine and alcohol-all good habits to get into. They also help you to think about what you're eating and can be quite motivating as you take charge of your
health.

Negatives
The main problem relates to the fact that detox diets can be short on many nutrients, leading to certain deficiencies and lowered immmunity. Any weight loss achieved is usually temporary and is the result of a loss of water as well as fat due to severe calorie restriction.
