It is claimed to improve health, energy, resistance to disease, mental state, digestion, as well as aiding in weight loss.
Detox diets usually suggest that fruits and vegetables compose a majority of one's food intake.
Limiting this to unprocessed (and sometimes also non-GM) foods is often advocated.
Limiting or eliminating alcohol is also a major factor, and drinking more water (which helps curb appetite) is similarly recommended.

It has been posited that some fruits and vegetables may actually contain more natural toxins than animal substances such as meat, fish, and milk..
