So I'm trying a detox diet, every morning I start with a detox tea, and every night before bed I have a detox water. I'm trying a new detox water and tea every week and I really feel like it's working. Does anyone else want to join me on my journey[/b][/b][/b] of detox thing?

Save yourself some time and money right now and learn to eat real food at a defiecent for you. Detoxes are woo. They don't work and you are wasting precious time that you could be learning how to eat for your body.9

Focus your time, money and mental effort on the things that matter - if your goal is weightloss, that would be sticking to a calorie deficit. That's hard enough, if you like to eat. (Yes, it means "eat less, move more"!)7

Nope - this is just the latest diet fad. Sellers are just in it for the $$$. So-called detoxes have no lasting effect. Check your tea and water.....is senna one of the ingredients? This is a laxative.

Nope. They're just a waste of money. If you want to detox, eat right - little to no processed, junk or fast food - and drink plenty of water and get walking.10 -
What are you trying to detox from? You say you think it's working? Can you elaborate? What's it doing for you? How is it working?
Sorry for the long string of questions. I'm very curious about your thinking on this.5 -
I detox every day through nifty devices called a liver and kidneys.17

Not trying to argue but wouldn't drinking plenty of water aid in the functions of your liver and kidneys? I should know more about it lol.5 -

Sure, but that has nothing to do with 'detoxing'.2 -

Please read this, OP: https://examine.com/nutrition/detoxes-an-undefined-scam/
Detox drinks and tea are a complete and utter scam and money waste.
If you truly want to lose weight and keep it off, you'll need to focus on building sustainable habits that you can carry through the rest of your life. In regards to weight loss, all that matters is consuming fewer calories than your body burns (CICO - calories in, calories out). You don't need silly gimmicks, just smaller portions.7 -
Waste of money. Placebo effect, if that. You won't lose weight (fat). If you lose anything, it will be poop!2

...Or enemas. (Worst part of the surgery was probably the prep.)3

"Detoxes" are a waste of time and money, so that'll be a hard no.2
