Is Wild Rose Herbal D-Tox Effective For Weight Loss?

I JUST STARTED A DETOXIFICATION. ITS CALLED THE WILDROSE DETOXIFICATION. I HAVE A NUTRIONIST THAT I SEE ONCE A YEAR. I USUALLY LOSE BETWEEN 10-15IBS. AS I GET OLDER I FIND IT HARDER TO LOSE THE WEIGHT. IS THE DETOXIFICATION A GOOD IDEA? OR SHOULD I TRY SOMETHING ELSE.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Weight loss is an issue many of us have to deal with. But the best way to address weight loss is to look at it as a long term endeavor. Short term methods such as with supplements and diets tend to not allow us to keep the weight off, and up-and-down movement is actually worse for our bodies than steady, slow gradual weight loss.

There are no clinical studies on the wild rose detox so I can't say if it is effective, but most of these are not effective at keeping the weight off.

I recommend, as a general rule, to increase vegetables, all types, and avoid or decrease simple carbohydrates such as anything made from white flour (most pastas, some breads), and foods with sugar added, sodas, and drinks with artificial sweeteners (even though they are zero calories, they can mess with metabolism). Processed foods in general are best avoided too (e.g. potato chips, etc).

It is slow going but even a few pounds lost can be helpful.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regular detoxification is not good as body understand the scarcity of calorie and protein and hence when you eat normal it starts storing for the time to release energy the best way is to manage a healthy lifestyle maintain a good eating habit by distributing your required calories and follow exercise regime regularly.
