Why Diets Don’t Work and Detox is Better

Why Diets Don’t Work and Detox is Better

Diets require getting on a restrictive program and the commitment and will power to follow through every day, which can be unsustainable. Their restrictive nature can affect a healthy relationship with food by taking out the sheer enjoyment out of it and turning nutrition into a challenge to pass or fail. What adds even more complication is the fact that a lot of “diet” foods and drinks contain artificially produced “substitutes” that introduce new toxins in the body, which are not recognized as 'natural' and thus not metabolized properly. Research suggests that the majority of people on diets regain all the weight, plus more within two years. In fact, further evidence was also found that repeated weight cycling is linked to health problems like cardiovascular disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Detox, short for ‘Detoxification’ is the process of filtering out toxins from the body, which is mainly carried out by the liver and kidneys, but also by the digestive tract and skin. There are thousands of toxins in our - often processed – foods and drinks, and our environment in the form of synthetic chemicals, pesticides, herbicides and heavy metals. Even though the body does have a sophisticated system of eliminating toxins through its natural pathways, too many toxins buildup - especially from an unhealthy diet - can bog down the body’s natural detoxification functions and cause health problems.

The main symptoms of toxins build up include bloating, inflammation, fatigue, low energy levels, unhealthy cravings, poor digestion, unbalanced hormones, slow metabolism and weight gain. Eliminating toxins from your body can significantly improve health, increase energy and promote weight loss. 

The good news is, there are natural plant-based options to detox from all the artificial and chemical pollutants. Our Skinny Botanicals Super TeaTox Daytime-Boost and Skinny Botanicals Super TeaTox Nightime-Cleanse are multi-functional herbal teas formulated with 15+ slimming and exotic super botanicals and green teas rich in antioxidants and flavonoids that are remarkable at detoxifying and flushing out harmful toxins. Most of the botanical ingredients in them come from tropical, arid, and mountainous regions of the world and are science-backed to hold superior benefits for metabolism, wellness, and beauty. They work in sync to promote weight loss by regulating appetite, helping suppress attraction to sweets and unhealthy snacking, and promoting sleep quality and skin firmness. A detox routine, especially as we get older, is necessary for the body to reset and adequately optimize its natural detoxification systems and tune up metabolism, which will help steadily shed excess weight and improve health.
