You know who I am talking about. Those holier than thou recent converts who proselytize about their new saintly ways.“I no longer drink caffeinated beverages.” That’s a big one. A major cleansing ritual that seems to be making the rounds and pushing out various trendy diet programs.

What does that mean ? You’re skipping the morning half-caf, full caf, latte? Sure. You think hot water with lemon is the new pure drink! Ha! How long can this last? It’s the preaching I can’t handle. It’s actually a little amusing because you know that the real coffee drinker will happily return to her ways without too much delay. Unless they decide to take an afternoon nap instead. Hmm, hard to remember!

Maybe it means no more diet soda. That’s possible. That’s probably a good decision. Just don’t preach. Do it. Drink your new favorite beverage, water, quietly without the holy incantation.

Cleansing diets are all the rage. Let me guess: Oprah. The number of people that have followed her down various roads whether reading her book selections–mostly a good highway–or following her food and drink strategies say it with unstoppable conviction. As you silently chuckle, you wonder if you should get out the chalkboard and mark off days to see how long this new lifestyle change will last.

Yes, it’s good for YOU. I just wonder if it’s good for me?
