Menu plans for 7-day detox

Some diets tell you 'It's Wednesday and therefore you must have porridge' but the beauty of a week-long detox is that you can suit your own tastes. You choose what you want for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, so long as you keep the ingredients varied and eat a range of different-coloured fruits and vegetables every day. |
