Luckily, society has moved on from long-standing, harmful terms such as bikini body,
finally recognizing that all human bodies are bikini bodies. And while we ve mostly put this kind of toxic terminology behind us, some dangerous words have stuck around, clinging to outdated perspectives on health. Example: bikini body s wintertime cousin holiday detox. Blech.
And despite what celebs such as Lizzo (and her recent smoothie detox) and the Kardashians (um, remember when Kim endorsed appetite-suppressing lollipops?) might post to social media, you don t need to detox from food be it Christmas cookies or a weeklong diet of comfort foods (thanks @ PMS) to be healthy.
