There are various reason someone would choose to go on cleanse or detox diet. It is believed that by completing these regimens you can lose fat, promote health, and remove toxins from your liver, kidneys, lymphatic system, digestive tract, colon, and lungs. However all of these organs can detox themselves. As well as when you only rely on water you will lose weight but as soon as you start eating again you will gain all the weight back because your metabolism slows down.

Who is influencing these detox diets

Tiktok and other social medias are a common platform to spread misinformation about these juice diets. Some of the people I have come across encouraging people to go on these juice diets are @naturobella and @charniqg on tik tok. In the videos they are promoting the diet, giving recipes for juices and, telling people (who are most likely young children) to deprive themselves of certain foods. Over 50% of the audience on tiktok are as young as 8 years old. At this age they are very impressionable and will believe and perform these diets. As well as it could lead to a unhealthy relationship with food.
