Edit How effective are juice detox programmes

<p><em><strong>Unfortunately, it’s not that simple.</strong> </em>A number of essential nutrients are missing from a juice detox – two of which are essential fats and protein.</p> <p>Protein is essential for the growth, repair and maintenance of every cell in the body and it’s essential for immune system function. Lack of protein can lead to loss of muscle mass, which in turn can lower your metabolic rate – the rate at which you burn calories – causing weight rebound following the detox.</p> <p>Juicing fruits and vegetables also removed the fibre. Fibre in whole fruits slows the release of fruit sugars into the bloodstream, without fibre, fruit juice causes a sharp rise in blood sugar levels which, ironically, can lead to problems such as fat storage, fluctuating energy levels and food cravings to name just a few. Just the things you are trying to combat when undertaking such a regime.</p> <p><strong><em>So are all fasts an unhealthy waste of time?</em></strong></p>
