detoxing only gets rid of alot of water weight and muscle, not fat. if you think its worth a go then try it, starving so much is fucked, you could get the same results in a bit more time by cutting a fuckload of carbs out of your diet, eat every 3 hours, even if you have breakfast/lunch/dinner and cut out any starches and empty carbs and have a protein shake between breakfast and lunch and lunch and dinner. there are a ton of half decent tasting shakes out there that have next to no carbs/fat and alot of protein.. and eat more fish! tuna is cheap as fuck and it helps a ton.
