Detox diets are, by pure definition, completely unbalanced since they do without some of the main macronutrients -such as proteins or carbohydrates- that the body needs to survive.
This is so because it is about eating routines based on the almost exclusive consumption of fruits and vegetables, products that, despite being very healthy and necessary, do not contain the full spectrum of nutrients that the body requires. In this way, in order to make a purifying regime that is, at the same time, balanced, we will have to introduce certain substantial modifications.
