I ought not mention this, but you might be pleased to hear that the detox part of your resolution is something you can forget; biologocally-speaking it's bollocks. We already have kidneys and a liver that detox our systems on a daily basis: the only time we ever need a detoxing regime is if we've been exposed to heavy metals like cadminum which our systems cannot process and expel. Cutting-down on the beer will help your liver function which will actually improve your body's own detoxificating abilities.I want to lose a few lbs.
Have a few months detoxing. No Beer.
Renovate the Kitchen.
.........and buy as much shaving gear as I can afford.
I am very glad you mentioned this Chris and as a result I will just cut down as apposed to quitting drink for a few months.I ought not mention this, but you might be pleased to hear that the detox part of your resolution is something you can forget; biologocally-speaking it's bollocks.

My resolution is to try to make Cognitive Behavioural Therapy work for me and help me sort-out anxiety problems that I've struggled-with for a couple of years.
Thanks for the kind words. I think, regarding detox diets and similar regimes, they feel as though they must be doing some good, and, of course, by limiting calorie intake, they will promote short-term weight loss. I also have no doubt that eating/drinking an entirely plant-based diet for a week helps in that respect as well; the problem is that any improvement that results is usually transitory. What is, IMO, unsupported by research is the idea that the body needs to be placed in caloric defecit or given specific plant-based substances in order to be able to filter-out toxins. Between them, the liver and kidneys manage this fine as long as they are undamaged and in a healthy state. In general, moderating alcohol intake (and, in particular, spreading-out that intake rather than going for five or six days without and then drinking 12 pints or loads of mixed drinks on one night) helps the digestive and excretory systems do what's needed.I am very glad you mentioned this Chris and as a result I will just cut down as apposed to quitting drink for a few months.
Happy days
With regards to anxiety I feel for you my friend. It is still a taboo subject and I for one have suffered in the past from it.
I am not sure if one can ever disperse anxiety totally but with help it can be combated.
I wish you all the very best with this regards.
Wayne.
