The dangers of detox dieting
Health experts are warning of the dangers of extended detox diets after it was revealed cricketing great Shane Warne had consumed nothing but juices for up to 14 days before to his shock death.
Dietician Catherine Saxelby said fluid detox diets using fruits and vegetables were like a semi-fast and shouldn't be undertaken without talking to a health professional first.
Warne’s long-time manager and friend James Erskine said the spin king had a history of going on fluid-only diets to lose weight quickly.

(He’d) go on these ridiculous sort of diets, and he had just finished one, where he basically only ate fluids for 14 days, and he’d done this three or four times.
Ms Saxelby said such extreme diets were definitely not advisable beyond a few days, or for people with chronic health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.

The juice cleanse does knock you around. Some of those that go on four, five days or a week, they do tax the body.
Four days before his death, Warne posted on Instagram that he was determined to get back to peak physical condition.
Operation shred has started (10 days in) & the goal by July is to get back to this shape from a few years ago! Let's go.

Ms Saxelby said detox diets had the potential to be lacking in essential nutrients, as well as being too low in calories.

They talk about these diets as getting rid of toxins, but he (Warne) would probably have been on less than 1000 calories (about 4184kJ) a day. And for a man that is not enough.
Ms Saxelby said detox diets were not a quick-fix way to lose weight and regain health. Some could also be high in fructose (especially the fruit juice diets) and often low in fibre.

It takes a long time to lose weight. It requires smaller serves, and cutting out ultra-processed food and making sure you are eating a healthy, balanced diet.
An autopsy by Thai authorities confirmed Warne passed away of natural causes, with the report revealing he died of a "congenital disease".
