Sorry for the long thread title. I plan to try the Whole Living detox this year. I will do a modified 3 week plan because I am going on a vacation on 1/20, so I'll detox up till then and then decide what to do after my trip.
Sounds like another quick fix fad diet doomed to failure over the long haul. Check back with us in February and tell us how you were able to stick to it.

Exactly. These plans are just nonsense.
Common sense people. Really, thats all it takes.
The name is misleading, its not a "drink juice for 3 weeks plan." It is basically a focused elimination plan. If you scroll through the recipes, it is pretty typical "healthy fare." No added sugar, no white startches, no processed food.
I'll keep you posted, it isn't different than any other "clean eating" goal.
Elimination plan? What does that mean exactly?
Still sounds silly and a recipe for failure. Why not just plan to eat healthier with a variety of foods?

Dairy, red meat and gluten (and processed foods). Those are eliminated for three weeks. It is like being vegan for 3 weeks (although seafood is OK).
This isn't really hardcore. Week 1 = vegan. Week 2 = vegan with seafood. Week 3 = vegetarian with eggs and seafood.
At the end, I'll add back my favorite dairy items, and evaluate if gluten is problematic and I should cut back a bit.
And then continue on with my typical eating habits and hopefully find some interesting new veggie recipes. (I mostly avoid processed foods, but love homemade baked goods. I eat 5-7 servings of produce a day, and my target is 10.)

Seems harmless. Sounds like you're just adding a twist to your normal healthful eating habits to maintain some focus Nothing wrong with that as long as you don't go on a banana split binge the following week.
Because I am trying to eliminate processed foods from my diet. I tend to feel better. Hopefully, in the process, I can also eliminate baked goods cravings. I am happy to experiment for a week or 2 of extra veggies. Especially with my goal of upping my produce intake. Considering I have been flirting with the idea of going vegetarian a few days a week, it all fits in with my other goals. Also, I have been trying to up my intake of nuts, and the recipes contain them in ways I wouldn't have thought.
This is a jumpstart by going cold turkey. Week 3 is pretty much what my ideal eating plan is with a few minor exceptions.
