Can You Detox Like a Snowman?
The Snowman: your New Year Detox Diet Saviour!
It’s been a month full of birthdays and holidays here, with 2 sets of grandparents and other relatives coming to stay (separately at least!) and now I’m at my heaviest ever 🙁
But don’t despair! New Year is a great time to try this Melting Snowman detox diet!!
What’s the Melting Snowman Detox Diet?
It’s a day or two of eating and drinking things you might use to make a snowman, of course 🙂
So that would be lots of water, carrots, tangerines (Santa’s signature gift as we Dr Who fans now know!), or other fruit that could be used as a snowman’s features. We’ll give the lumps of coal and twigs a miss this time.
If you need some inspiration, here is a clip from Raymond Briggs’ classic British Christmas film, ‘The Snowman’. The little boy starts building the snowman at around 3:15, and the snowman tries out different fruit noses at around 8:50:
Be warned, for those who haven’t seen ‘The Snowman’ yet, the ending is sad.
It’s a film with a lot of emotional depth and meaning. For me, it’s about appreciating the special times we have with people we love who won’t always be there.
In any case it is a classic for us Limey Brits at Christmas. I’ve seen it so many times I can mostly tell what’s happening just from the music, but I still watch it every year.
The ending:
The Snowman: The Ending. Time to start all over again.
My suggestion? Watch it in a Raymond Briggs
