"Withdrawal is something for heroin addicts!" - What's this New Year's Detox nonsense?
"Should I bring you a Coke against your cat?", I asked my neighbor by Whatsapp after New Year's Eve. "That would be great, but I've been caffeine free for four days, I'm always fasting at the beginning of the year," she wrote back. How could I forget that!? After all, about 90 percent of my friends do that in January. They detoxify, detoxify, fast, drink no alcohol, eat no sweets, just do something that's supposed to make their lives better, more beautiful, more purified and make them look prettier, thinner and healthier.
But I do not believe in slags, harmful deposits in the body, which you have to get rid of once a year. This is done either in the long term and lives balanced throughout the year (am I not for, but at least consistent)? or you leave the nonsense.
Carpe diem, you only live once!
I grew up with the New Year's renunciation philosophy. My mother has been drinking since I can remember no alcohol in January and does not eat sweets. What should that be? I did not understand as a child. But she liked that, and of course I think that's okay. That I myself do not care about that, but maybe because I am not so the waiver type. Carpe diem, you only live once, so young do we never get together again? that's more my motto! Salad without dressing is a sin, a life without sugar somehow meaningless. Withdrawal must be made by heroin addicts and by Alkis, but not by people who drink two coffees a day. Apart from the fact that they all start again in February with the double load of chips, espresso and chocolate.
I do not tolerate fasting friends
Once I also had such a seizure, that was last year. Since I had just missed the January detox trend, I wanted to make a juice cure in May. Unfortunately, I had to stop after about half a day. My mood was too bad and I was hungry. The same is true of my fasting friends? they are becoming socially incompatible in their Hardcore Healthy Living month. Visiting the bar with mineral water and eating with three peas on the plate just works just fine.
Incidentally, I'll do it the other way around. I want to set a counter trend. The Völle-December is followed by the Fress-and-Sauf-January. In February, my behavior will regulate itself. I do not need juices, fasting or withdrawal, that's a natural process. And certainly very healthy. Somehow.
