Thomas Gottschalk's radical diet: hunger instead of feasting to New Year!

At the turn of the year there is new from Thomas Gottschalk! The 74-year-old ex-moderator of "Wetten, dass ..?!" Surprised with a drastic diet that he pulls through with his partner Karina. Instead of the typical diet excesses over the holidays, the two rely on a strict detox cure, as Gottschalk explains in a video: "We starve through life with 850 calories a day." While others celebrate the holidays with lush meals, Gottschalk and his wife pursue a different line and emphasize that they would eat "too little". This reports, among other things, Today.at .

The video, which was published on Instagram on December 31, 2024, was originally supposed to convey positive New Year's greetings. But Gottschalk took the opportunity to talk about his strict nutritional concept. This extreme calorie restriction is significantly below the recommendations of the German Nutrition Society, which suggests around 2100 calories per day for men in Gottschalk's age group. But the moderator is unimpressed and indicates that he and his partner have already carried out this detox cure several times to escape the "public holiday", as well as FOCUS.de

Gottschalk, known for his direct way, polarizes once more with this decision and remains true to his style. It remains to be seen how the radical diet will affect its health and whether it will choose a different way for the next holidays. With his statements, the celebrity ensures that many discussions about nutrition and diet extremes are initiated.
