is this true?

Here are the premises - then the actual pros and cons - of four famous fad diets.

1) The Fad: Juice Fasts and Master Cleanses!


The Premise: These diets put your body through "detox" ... supposedly eliminating toxins and providing a rest for your vital organs.

The Pros: Provides you with a temporary feeling of empowerment, because you believe you're cleansing your body. Saves you some cash too, because you're not eating anything!

The Cons: For one thing, your body doesn't need any help ridding itself of toxins -- your kidneys, liver, and bladder already do the job nicely. And rather than trim you down quickly, "juice fasts" and "the master cleanse" may actually cause you to overeat: The beverages are high in refined sugar, which starts the digestive process and can create peaks and valleys in your blood Sugar levels, leaving you hungry (not to mention irritable, lethargic, and headachy). These plans are also void of protein, a macronutrient that's critical during weight loss (protein helps maintain lean muscle mass, blood Sugar levels, and metabolism). If you do decide on a liquid diet, make sure your beverages include about 50% of your weight in protein grams.
