Has anyone ever gone on a solid food detox diet and actually felt better?I don't think unless it's for a long period of time these diets really do anything. Detoxing just seems like a bored soccer mom fad and a buzzword; and these diets barely do anything for the body unless it's a lifestyle instead of a week or a month habit. What are your experiences /ck/, ever been on one of these short term diets or live this lifestyle?
Just eat healthily. Ten seconds of research should convince you that "detoxifying" is a bullshit concept

if you look up anything with the word detox in it you just find blogs of Middle Aged women with to much time on their hands raving about avocados
If you look up the definition of toxicity, then that will clear up everything.
Vitamin A can reach toxic levels at around 10000 IUs per day for example. Arsenic can reach toxicity and spirulina has some preliminary evidence for lowering levels, but if normal levels produce no clinical side effects, then it's pointless to begin with. Alcohol is detoxified by the liver while N-acetylcysteine has been shown to help with that and has been used as treatment in liver failure for a while now.
There is no real detox diet. In fact, consuming ridiculously large amounts of single foods will possibly increase your likelihood of toxicity. A balanced diet is and has always been the best. You could go the extra mile and look up pesticide levels in foods, the specific pesticide and its effects, and arsenic and heavy metal levels. A rule of thumb would be to avoid Chinese.
Detox is a fad just like superfoods, toning and spot reduction. You can put any spin you want on it, being healthy has always been a fairly simple thing.
