Abstract

Introduction: Detox diets are popular diet strategies that aim to facilitate the elimination of toxins and weight loss. Objective: To analyze the nutritional composition of detoxification diets disclosed in digital media unscientific. Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross sectional study of descriptive documentary and descriptive nature of detoxification diets selected in non-scientific media. The nutritional composition of the diet was calculated by Table of Food Composition (Tucunduva) and compared with the recommendation proposed by the DRIS (Dietary Reference Intakes) for macronutrients and micronutrients. For the calculation of diets, they were adopted as standard recommendations for adults with age range 19-50 years. Discussion: According to Klein and Kiat (2014) Currently, there are no scientific studies that have investigated the effectiveness of commercial detox diets to lose weight. Results: Regarding macronutrient diets, 61.5% of the menus had adequate protein, 23% had sufficient amount of carbohydrates and 38.4% contained adequate amounts of lipids. With regard to micronutrients, 15.3% of the menus in relation to the fibers are suitable; none of the menus was analyzed appropriate with respect to iron and calcium. Conclusion: Most diets published in scientific journals has no inadequacies in the distribution of macronutrients and micronutrients, which can compromise the nutritional status of individuals. These data reinforce the importance of diets are individualized and accompanied by a qualified professional, a nutritionist.
