well - I just make it okay - I mean it's pretty clear liquid and you need to sometimes to something to sorta 'hide' the juice fast - I know it sounds nuts but that's why I get my support here - it's hard to get support out in the real world! I'm so glad I found this forum - because people just don't understand and I don't feel like explaining myself all the time! I've done the soup thing and it was fine! I'm still losing weight!
