3-Day Healthy Detox Menu

So being in college, I eat really badly.
So, I took on this detox diet.
It isn't a starve yourself diet.
Take a look, try it out, tell me how it went!
It's from a real diet a nutritionist/dietitian made. 
It made me feel really good, and I'm glad I did it.
You can also expand this for 5 days.
I think I will continue to eat some of these meals and snacks too, because they're good!

Try it out!
My favorite meal was the hamburger. For sure.
Also, as you can see, I substituted a couple of items, such as half a slice of whole grain bread instead of the pita bread. And I used spinach on everything since I didn't want to spend money on a lot of different things, but it still worked for me!
