I am really hanging in there with the cleanse, my friends, but last night it was honestly like a bad joke. The “soup” was tomato gazpacho, to which I thought, “Well, tomato, I like tomato. Maybe this soup will be better.”
I give you: raw tomato gazpacho.
I’m not crazy, right? That looks nasty? It looks like vomit, does it not?
Mr. RD and I had a good laugh about it and the fact that the look of it was so… wrong. I actually ate a bunch of it, but again, I couldn’t finish it.
Tonight, I gave up on the soup. I just decided I maybe needed a soup break. So I just ate some raw stuff– fruit and a smoothie, some carrots with a raw tomato garlic dip– and called it a night. I’m on Day 11, so more than halfway there.
I’ll keep you updated on the gruesome details of the soups, especially since next week it’s literally all soups all the time– breakfast, lunch and dinner. Phew.
Now, be honest. Would you have eaten that soup? How heavily does the look of a food contribute to your enjoyment of it?

How did it taste? I would’ve been tempted to sprinkle some grated cheese on it or SOMETHING! Cause yeah, it looks a little like newborn baby poo. Sorry. I know, sorry. But sometimes things can look yuck–refried beans!–and taste yum.
Sorry, Beth. That “soup” just looks plain gross. Hope it tasted a little better than it looks! Good luck with the rest of it! (So now I know why I’ve never done a cleanse, lol).
Now, you’re right that it doesn’t look appetizing. But I have had lots of gazpacho that was delicious. I thought it was always made with raw tomato but maybe that’s wrong? I know it has a lot of other good stuff in it.
It cries out for croutons, though.
PS: So how are you feeling on this cleanse, especially the raw part? What’s your body doing?
You know what it kinda looks like? The fake cheese sauce they put on top of nachos that I used to get at the roller skating rink as a kid.
I too, like Becky, want to know how you are feeling on the cleanse.
