From Gwyneth Paltrow to Katie Holmes, detox diets are all the rage with the celebrity set. But I wondered if That's Fit readers bought in to the detox hype. Here's what you had to say:

  • 43 percent haven't tried detox and you don't plan to. Science supports your decision. Though some detox plans can be beneficial, your body does a decent job of removing toxins on its own. And, as reader u262f says "... eating poorly and then doing some short-term cleanse isn't going to be as healthy as regularly making healthy food choices in the first place."
  • 39 percent think detox sounds interesting though you haven't tried it yet. If you're going to try a detox diet, read Bethany's first-hand experience with detox before you start. She has some great tips for selecting a healthful detox, such as forgoing the fasting-type plans and choosing one that allows you to eat nutritious foods.
  • 12 percent of you have tried detox and loved it.
  • 6 percent of you won't be doing detox again, though you have tried it before.
