The Awkward Silence

And asking a bunch of people who are effectively random internet strangers who likely aren't dieticians or nutritionists isn't the best way to do this either

D.Hutchinson

true :(

(also, "detox" type diets tend to do more harm than good because just cutting out things without understanding what you are doing and what your body actually needs to be healthy is kinda dangerous)

D.Hutchinson

I see ...

user15026

I'd maaaaaybe do some research first. From like...reputable sources, not just random google results

There are a lot of fad type detox things out there that can really screw up your body

user15026

The fact that you go "I don't want balance I want detox" is already raising red flags

D.Hutchinson

yeah ...

user15026

It doesn't sound like you have really thought about or planned this or researched it

D.Hutchinson

the thought being that "it's only a week of hell"

yeah ...

user15026

Yeah but chances are you do it and you don't get whatever results you wanted from this supposed detox, you just end up feeling shitty and half starving yourself

D.Hutchinson

5:30 AM

yeah ...

user15026

So maybe do some research and planning first? Before making decisions that could hurt you?

D.Hutchinson

yeah ... but it's like ... I had sautéed veggies for dinner (
brocolli, green peppers, cabbage, snow peas, mushrooms, carrots, and celery) and so it's like ... I'm already like one hour into my detox :) 90 more hours to go - I'm almost there ...

haha ...

24 x 7 = 168 hours ... oops

167 more hours to go ... ugh ...

user15026

Well...its your body I guess

D.Hutchinson

yeah, I won't detox ... it's probably bad ...

user15026

I'm not saying don't, I'm saying do it after you have looked into a safe way to do what you want to do that isn't just a random passing fancy

Oo I see ...

@Mithrandir it can also be viewed as an etiquette question, too, no?

social dynamics of gift-giving

eh, I could be putting words in the OP's mouth, though ...

D.Hutchinson

huh?

I don't get it ...

A J

Yes, it's a joke

D.Hutchinson

A J

Q: How to shut someone up while being only mildly offensive when they incessantly criticize my house?

I know I am close to OCD about being averse to clutter. I put things away in their designated drawer or shelf, or throw (or give) them away if we are unlikely to use them again. That is, I am a neatnik to extremes, I admit it. I have a couple of in-laws who repeatedly say things like Yo...

Q: Should someone once in a vulnerable state learn the truth and how?

A very close friend of mine, let's call him David, in his mid-thirties has just (1 year and a half) recovered from a very hard and horrifying for his environment state of drug abuse and isolation that lasted more than 10 years in a culminating manner. With a strong physique (former martial arts a...
