Detoxing - skinny success or just torture?

Dude - why does detoxing just sound like the best totally gonna work can't fail gonna be skinny minny idea ever?? Just take a week to detox out the system, lose a bunch of pounds and not crave pizza and ice cream ever again after that - right?? Except that I would totally cave after day 1 and put back a box of girl scout cookies before you could say detox.

Bottom line is that no diet or detox will ever replace what steady healthy eating can do you for. I have to tell myself this all. the. time. It's so tempting to try a fad diet or just cut out all bad stuff forever - but I am a human and it doesn't work like that. Tell me I can never have pizza or soda ever again and I will GORGE.

Dr Oz has a great video on 10 detox foods that will help you lose weight - why not add foods in that help you detox throughout the week, every week?

I try to live by a 80/20 rule - 80% of what I put in my mouth is healthy and good for my brain and body. The other 20% is a free for all. So this means I eat healthy during the day and plan my meals - but I get to have a soda or some cookies for a snack. As long as I'm not eating a bagel for breakfast, pizza for lunch and cookies for a snack - that works for me. I don't feel guilty about indulging and it encourages me to plan my meals out more.

How do you keep a healthy eating balance? Have you tried a detox? How long did it last - did you eat just fruits/veggies or just drink shakes? How long did you last on the detox - did it work?? Maybe you could try only drinking water with lemon as your only drink for a month and see if a drink detox works - I should try that!
