Posted Friday, September 17, 2010 at 7:46 AM hi all, it looks like i have been saving up my questions huh? i have been a little busy cutting veggies.. haa haa anyway.. i have seen many threads that mention detox. people feel bad cause they think they are detoxing. maybe i dunno? my sister in law (vegan/vegetarian) says before she starts any new eating plan or even every once in a while she detoxes her liver. i don't know details.. but from what i gather it is a 3 day process w/liquids. Me. i am figuring. i eat right and my body will take care of it on it's own. it might take a couple of weeks? but i will get there. is there any benefit to a fasting/liquid detox program? is there any real use for it at all?

However, I don't think it is necessary if you have a healthful diet. And it certainly isn't going to help if you go right back to a poor diet. In summary, there's no harm. But probably unnecessary for a low-fat, vegan eater. Susan Levin, MS, RD PCRM Director of Nutrition Education

She wanted to detox because she just bought a house, has been eating out a lot, still vegetarian, just not as healthful as home made food. thanks.
