I’ve found several detox diets, ranging from a week to three months, and from all fruits and vegtables, to only certain ones and salt water. I was wondering if anyone has been on a detox diet before, which kind it was, and how it made you feel. Feedback? Suggestions?

you outline one problem with detox diets; there are about a million of them (I exaggerate a bit).
What are your goals? For a simple detox, your goals should be to eliminate the toxins that are residual in your body (such as insecticide, herbacide biproducts, addatives, formaldehyde constituents, animal hormones, antibiotics, etc.)
That being said, you don’t need anything very severe. What I recommend for the majority of my patients is the Whole Food Farmacy detox. It’s a modest 13 days, includes essentially everything needed, and is achieving great results. Many people have the added goal of weight loss, and the average case I’ve had loses weight.
I’d be happy to answer any more specific questions you might have with detox diets. I will say, some are simply alarming and downright dangerous. So do be careful!

I did the 9 day cycle of Isagenix, the first 2 days while on the juice I felt really good, I guess because of all the vitamins/nutrients of the juice. After the 2 days of juice it went to the meal replacement shakes, while on that I felt normal like any other day but also I had cravings for food even though I really wasnt that hungry, than 2 more days of the Juice I felt really good again. I lost about 8 pounds of "fat" not water weight, Id say it did what it advertised for me but its kinda expensive, I wish I could just buy the juice Id drink it every morning for breakfast I felt really umm I dont know how else to explain it but I just felt really "Good" when I was drinking the juice. I was in a good mood, I felt energized I slept well, everything, what was is that stuff? lol
