Detox doesn’t directly target belly fat, but it can support weight loss and improve overall health, which may lead to a reduction in belly fat.
By eliminating ultra-processed foods and focusing on whole, nutrient-rich foods during a detox, you’re reducing your calorie intake, which can promote weight loss, including from the abdominal area. Don’t expect much fat loss in a single week, but if you continue eating healthy and maintain a calorie deficit over time, you may start to see more significant results.
In addition, by increasing water intake and incorporating exercise into your routine, you can help reduce bloating and promote fat loss in the abdominal area (13).
