Congrats on almost crossing the finishing line! Glad to hear you are feeling good and that it was a positive experience for you.

Take care!

I'm on my 9th day as well, but my tongue is almost as bad as its been for the past 8 days.

Has everyone else had his or her tongue start to clear up yet, or is this not uncommon.

My roommate’s sister (a nurse) said the white tongue was a result of protein deficiency, but after reading several comments from here, it seemed that many people had theirs clear up before they started eating protein again... Now I'm starting to believe her again.

either way, I haven't been hungry in over a week, so I'd consider this a very successful period.

Thanks everyone for posting to help me know others were going through the same thing.

My tongue never turned pink in all my fasts. Try scrubbing it with your toothbrush and see if anything happens.
I also had a drippy nose today. *wierd*

I'm done after tomorrow, Day 10. It's been a pleasure to have you all along for the ride. I wish you all the best.
