Does it work?
There's little evidence that extreme diet regimens such as this do anything other than lead to unpleasant, unhealthy side effects. The idea of detoxifying or purifying the body of harmful substances has been around for centuries. However, your body does a perfectly good job of getting rid of toxins on its own. On this radical diet you will most likely lose weight due to calorie restriction. Once dieters resume their normal eating habits, you will most likely just put all the weight back on again.
