Thomas Gottschalk's radical diet: starving instead of feasting on New Year's Day!

At the turn of the year there is news from Thomas Gottschalk! The 74-year-old former presenter of “Wetten,dass..?!” surprises with a drastic diet, which he follows with his partner Karina. Instead of the typical diet excesses over the holidays, the two of them opt for a strict detox diet, as Gottschalk explains in a video: “We starve ourselves through life on 850 calories a day.” While others celebrate the holidays with lavish meals, Gottschalk and his wife take a different line and emphasize that they eat “just too little.” This reports, among other things today.at.

The video, which was posted on Instagram on December 31, 2024, was originally intended to convey positive New Year's greetings. But Gottschalk took the opportunity to talk about his strict nutritional concept. This extreme calorie restriction is well below the recommendations of the German Nutrition Society, which suggests around 2,100 calories per day for men in Gottschalk's age group. But the moderator is unimpressed and states that he and his partner have already carried out this detox treatment several times in order to escape the “holiday gluttony”. focus.de reported.

Gottschalk, known for his direct manner, is once again polarizing with this decision while remaining true to his style. It remains to be seen how the radical diet will affect his health and whether he will choose a different path for the next holidays. With his statements, the celebrity ensures that many discussions about nutrition and dietary extremes are initiated.
