I am not a big fan of detox diets myself as I feel that a detox generally should be done at a retreat or under strict medical supervision. But with the publicity they recieve and the celebrity endorsement I believe that home treatment or home detox is seriously on the increase.
One rather worrying trend is that of young teenage girls doing a detox diet which can lead to serious health problems and potential eating disorders in the future.
Detox diets like the Lemonade diet, Martha’s vineyard diet and to a lesser extent the Mediterranean diet are frequently discussed in womens magazines and on talk shows and this can lead to their implied endorsement in the eyes of those who may not be mature enough to understand the distinctions.
