detox fast

Therapeutic food avoidance

A detox fast is a period of restricted eating—often consuming only water, juice, or specific foods—intended to cleanse the body of toxins.

The practice combines detoxification with fasting: She did a three-day detox fast after the holidays.

Medical evidence for its purported benefits is limited, though the practice remains popular in wellness culture.
