Detoxing is a popular trend followed by people to lose pounds quickly. It is nothing but complete rejuvenation or cleansing of your body through the consumption of fruit and vegetable concoctions and herbal teas, followed by short-term fasting. It claims to remove toxins from your body to aid weight loss, but its long-term effects are not scientifically proven.

1 Tomato, Leek, and Cucumber Juice

Tomato is a good source of lycopene, which has the potential to aid weight loss. A study conducted by the China Medical University found that tomato juice effectively reduced waist circumference and BMI of 30 young females.

2 Buttermilk Detox Drink

Curd (or yogurt) is a natural source of probiotics that strengthen the digestive system. Its nutritional composition and lactic acid bacteria may improve gut health, help manage appetite, and aid weight loss. However, the role of yogurt in weight loss remains controversial.

3 Fruits And Carrot Juice

Fruits and vegetables like carrots, blueberries, prunes, apples/pears, strawberries, raisins/grapes, and grapefruit are good sources of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. These fruits and vegetables aid weight management and prevent weight gain with their high fiber content (both soluble and insoluble), low glycemic load, biologically active polyphenols, and natural sugar.

4 Strawberry And Cinnamon Detox Water

Strawberries contain ellagic acid, a bioactive polyphenol. Research suggests that ellagic acid may help manage obesity and related complications. However, more human clinical studies need to be conducted to prove this effect.

5 Orange And Carrot Juice

Carrots are rich in beta-carotene and loaded with fiber. Foods high in fiber increase satiety (feeling of fullness) and decrease subsequent hunger. This help can help reduce food intake, thereby leading to weight loss. Oranges are replete with vitamin C. Vitamin C is inversely associated with body mass. Adequate intake of this vitamin can help oxidize as much as 30% more fat when combined with moderate exercise. Thus, it may help you lose weight.

6 Pineapple Lemonade

A study done on rats on a high-fat diet revealed that pineapple juice induces the upregulation of fatty acid oxidation by molecular gene regulation. Thus, it has the potential to reduce weight gain and obesity.

7 Honey, Lemon, And Ginger

A study conducted by the San Diego State University on rats has suggested that honey may reduce weight gain and obesity.

8 Lemon And Cucumber Detox Water

Cucumber is a low-calorie food with high water content (95.2% water). Studies have found that a diet low in energy density (low in calories) is an effective measure to improve weight loss and managing body weight. It is one of the most common DIY cleansing drinks to boost energy and metabolism.
