There are a lot of ways that promise to help you get rid of extra pounds.
Some people turn to a balanced diet for this purpose, but there are also those people who prefer extreme detox methods.
One of them is fasting for 1-2 days, when it is recommended to abstain from food for a whole day and drink only clean water.
The Harm of Water Detox
If you decide to take such a desperate step, be prepared for the fact that at the end (and for some, at the beginning) of the journey you will face some not very pleasant side effects.
Thus, a water diet often leads to a deterioration in health - people often feel very weak and dizzy, their head seems to be in a fog. Of course, the feeling of hunger on such a diet is especially acute.
It is especially not recommended to resort to a water diet if the weather is hot outside or if you plan to do physical exercise.
These situations involve profuse sweating and eventual dehydration, where there is a rapid loss of fluid and electrolytes.
Finally, people with chronic illnesses, such as kidney problems or gastroesophageal reflux disease, are at risk. Such detoxes can make the illnesses worse.
