Water alone won't work. If by "detoxify", you mean remove things like heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides and things that make your body acedic, you need more than plain water. There are "chelation" agents that are designed to "grab" the bad stuff and flush them out of your body. One very effect one is called NAC, short for N-Acetyl Cysteine and is available at any health foods store.
You can also make a concoction at home that works great. It's an emulsion of cilantro (one bunch), cold-pressed olive oil (1/2 cup), several cloves of garlic and some lemon juice...all blended into a paste. Potent taste, but you need to scarf down several tablespoons every day. And stop eating things that make your body acedic.
12 hours is the suggested amount of time to fast.
just keep it like this! water is good for your body, make it your main drink. of course fruit juices are ok now and then, but they are very high in sugar. herbal teas are ok as well, but regular tea has lots of caffine. make it a lifestyle change, love water!!
Drinking water will not detoxify your body all on its own. It will certainly make you feel healthier, but to eliminate all toxins in your body you will need to dedicate a month or two to a good liver diet (read a book on the topic if you really want to do this) and stop putting toxins into your body in the first place.
Detox diets are a myth.
If you eat healthily and drink enough fluid to stay hydrated (including water but not to excess) your liver and kidneys are the only thing you need to stay healthy. Anything else is nutritional quackery with no scientific basis in fact. If you are eating an unhealthy diet, the lack of health you may feel, will not be due to toxins, but more likely lack of variety.

One thing that will help you lose weight: a colon cleanse. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few until I found a great one that works (its all natural too! - it's just pills, but you'll detox, lose weight, and fell much, much better). You can go to
