As is human nature, we tend to overreact, setting ourselves drastic new health plans full ofstrict rules surrounding sugar, caffeine and carbs. No wonder that come the third week of January, we're collectively staring down the barrel of Quitter's Day Sunday the 19th this year when we're said to be most likely to give up on our resolutions.

And drink enough water so your urine is a pale straw colour.
