Rosh Hashanah, The High Holidays, and Dr. Mark Hymans 10–Day Detox Diet Challenge About Rosh Hashanah This is a sacred time of year for Jewish people. It literally means, Head of the Year and in Judaism is the commemoration of the New Year. It begins at sundown on the eve of September 24th and concludes on September 26th.

In fact, the two compliment one another very nicely. This makes it very appropriate to participate in this Challenge while celebrating Rosh Hashanah! Here’s why… Rosh Hashanah asks, how can you discover more goodness within yourself?

Yom Kippur asks you to apologize and to forgive. The 10–Day Detox Diet Challenge is a time to let go of judgment, criticism, shame, guilt and defeating thoughts and feelings about yourself or your life circumstances. Dr. Hyman explains the science behind weight loss to not be about willpower or discipline and helps you understand the essential ingredients necessary for taking back your health. The first step to achieving your goals for healthy living is to understand that your struggles with weight cannot be effectively dealt with using blame. Liberating yourself from negative self talk about not having the willpower or discipline to succeed is the first step of healing! Resisting sweets during Rosh Hashanah Rosh Hashanah is known as a sweet time – a time to be hopeful and look positively to the future. Doing the 10–Day Detox Diet Challenge as you celebrate your New Year is a gift to your body, mind and spirit. But what about your taste buds? This Holiday tends to be marked with honey and sweet tasting foods, most notably, apples, cakes and dried fruits. Instead of the literal use of these high glycemic foods, we suggest you use them figuratively to commemorate the essence of what this Holiday is about. You actually dont even need to eat the sweets to reap the benefits of ritualistic practice. Instead, ritualize the sweetness in other ways. For example, dip an apple in honey as tradition has it, and then cast the apple into the garbage (or a place that feels right to you) to mark another well-known Rosh Hashanah ritual of casting away your sins. Or another way to play with the theme of this sacred Holiday is to focus on what foods are customary for Jewish people to eat during this time that are also encouraged during your 10–Day Detox Diet Challenge. For example, brisket or roast chicken with an herbed pomegranate dressing is a tasty meal that helps boost your metabolism, cool inflammation and keep cravings at bay. Baba Ghanoush or lemon tahini with roasted vegetables is another way to delight your taste buds and celebrate the New Year. There are many ways to tailor your experience on Dr. Hymans Detox while honoring the sacred customs and rituals for Rosh Hashanah. Ultimately, participating in the 10–Day Detox Diet Challenge during the Holidays invites you to act with love, gratitude, kindness and respect towards your body. What a beautiful way to celebrate new beginnings!
