Detox diets help you lose 40 pounds in one month.

I was reading on the Internet that you could lose 40 pounds in one month by subjecting yourself to a detox diet. I decided to check into what that was exactly and was pretty disgusted and kind of amused at what I found. Let me make a disclaimer by saying, I am not saying that this does not work, only that it is rather gross when described. Basically a detox diet is in effect no eating food and only drinking water and juice for a specified period of time. During this time your bodies, erm, expels all of the waste that has accumulated over the years, releasing toxins and also helping to lose weight.
