  Drink plenty of water for a liquid detox. The body needs at least 8 cups of water each day to prevent dehydration and to function properly. Although a water detox is a good way to flush out wastes from the body, water offers no caloric intake. With this in mind, a water-only detox should last for no more than 2 days.
