Detoxes & Six-Pack Lies: What Fitness Won’t Tell You

In this episode, Darian and Joey delve into myths of training abs and detoxing diets, particularly focusing on belly fat and the unrealistic standards set by fitness culture. 

Takeaways: 

• Your body already detoxes itself — your liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system do the real cleansing work.
• Rapid weight loss on detoxes is mostly water + carbs stored as glycogen, not fat loss.
• Fiber, protein, hydration, and balanced meals support natural detox better than any cleanse.
• You can’t “crunch” your way to visible abs — if body fat is too high, they stay hidden.
• Spot reduction is a myth — training abs doesn’t burn belly fat.
• Six-packs require two things: lower body fat + strong core, in that order.
