I am also hoping this fad is on its way out. You are right, let our bodies do the detox for us. Thanks for the info, it is stil good to keep up to date with the latest fads since I will often get questions regarding them.

Crazy to think people buy into these “detox”diets! Not to mention, they can be harmful and slow down metabolism. While I love grapes (and wine!), eating grapes 24/7 seems near impossible and obviously dangerous.

I think detox diets are a thing of the past (hopefully). They are so lame! But for me, maybe it’s just the word “detox” that bugs me. You’re right,e acting a clean a healthy diet is the perfect way to “detox”, and let your liver do it’s thing. People waste their money and their energy on these “detox” diets and I’m sad for them.

I can’t imagine eating grapes all day, unless wine counts. haha, jk. I do love grapes, especially frozen grapes in the summer, over some yummy yogurt.

I always challenge someone who tells me that they are on a detox diet to tell me exactly what and how they are detoxing. What do people actually think will be miraculously removed by only eating grapes? Heavy metals are not going to miraculously make their way from our cells by only eating grapes, and the “pounds of gunk” supposedly built up in our intestines do not exist. Please tell me where it is hiding!!?! If the general public knew a bit more about anatomy and physiology, we may be less susceptible to crazy schemes like this one!

I like grapes as much as the next person, but not only is it unhealthy to eat only one thing, but…if that one thing is grapes, I would have major tummy aches!

Only grapes for one to two weeks!? That sounds like a whole lot of fruit sugar. Bogus!

I love grapes. A lot! However, I am smart enough to realize that consuming only grapes is probably not so good for me.

Do people really believe this stuff?

I am not a fan of “detoxes” except the kind that involve lots of fresh, whole foods…
