Losing 6 pounds in 10 days is roughly double the maximum rate of weight loss recommended by the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/losing_weight/index.html https://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/losing_weight/index.html
- leetbulb 7y agoYes. I've worked in the advertising industry for almost ten years. As soon as I see the word "Detox" it raises enough red flags to wonder why my DNS-BL didn't already block the entire site.
- klodolph 7y ago6 pounds in 10 days may be dominated by e.g. water retention levels changing due to changes in sodium intake. Unsafe to maintain that rate of weight loss long-term but it might just be safer, short-term effects. Like you said, N=1 and short-term study, basically worthless.
