Document Summary
The sociology of diets october 19 - soc of health. Dieting, gwyneth and my cleanse by timothy caulfield article. Explores: what gwyneth offers and what timothy tried (1) cleansing & detoxifying; (2) adrenal fatigue; (not a thing) (3) weight loss; (4) gluten-free; organic; vitamins; juicing; coffee; and colon cleanses. Idea of cleansing is faulty on a few levels: 1. Your body has the organs it already needs to detoxify itself: 2. There is no such thing as adrenal fatigue **** Weight loss: weight loss is main goal of cleanses, will not save, and heal you, fast way to lose weight but gain it all back. It is not sustainable: you"ll lose the weight then gain it all back, eating less calories, monitoring everything you eat, problem with cleanses, 1. They don"t provide adequate nutrients, can erode muscle mass: can lead to yo-yo dieting.
