With the new year just around the corner, many of us will be committing to a healthier lifestyle.

After weeks of indulging on huge turkey dinners, cheese boards and bottles of wine over Christmas, its normal to feel a little sluggish.

But that's not to say that you should try any "crazy" detoxes from the festive season, reports Daily Star.

Colleen Christensen, an American nutritionist who shares advice on her @no.food.rules Instagram page, recommends "eating normally" instead, as it's much more effective than starting a restrictive diet you cant stick to.

Colleen told her 168,000 followers: "If youre wondering how to get back on track with your eating habits here is my answer: eat normally.""Eat normally," says Colleen (Image: Instagram)

She added: "You dont need to do some crazy juice cleanse to detoxify you from all of the holiday goodies youve had.

"A) Theyre not poison and B) We have these things called a liver, kidneys and other organs that do a pretty darn good job at that.

"If youre looking to eat clean, wash your veggies to get the dirt off.

"Beyond that, eat normally and youll be good to go!

"Restricting or limiting foods will only set you up for entering the vicious restrict-binge cycle."

Colleen urged her followers to be kind to themselves instead of feeling guilty about binging at Christmas.

"A balanced diet includes periods of overeating/'overindulging'.

"If we listen to our bodies we wont need to micromanage our intake.

"Theyre pretty good and giving us signals to keep us feeling fab in the long run. Thats no food rules at its finest, folks!"
