On the second day of this cleanse, my wife told me I smelled like wet bread. It wasn’t all of me it was my mouth.
One of the master cleanse diet indicators is the white creamy / fuzzy tongue. This is caused by the toxins exiting your body in mass. It is pretty weird.
Not only does my tongue get funky but the inside of my teeth do as well. The teeth do not get as bad, but they get sort of creamy. The best part is then rushing to brush them. Toothpaste has never tasted so yummy as when you have only consumed warm salt water and spicy lemonade for 9 days. Oh yeah. We have lots of different flavors at our house with 4 kids and a wife that has a brushing fetish.
I use a towel to scrub as much of the white gunk off my tongue. I also use our special mouthwash. My wife researched teeth whiteners a couple years ago. It turns out hydrogen peroxide is a great teeth whitener. Hydrogen peroxide also is a great mouth wash as it kills germs extremely effectively. We also use hydrogen peroxide mixed with vinegar as our cleaning solution to avoid toxic cleaners.
When you use peroxide as a mouth wash you do not swish. You simply let it sit in your mouth. The peroxide will actually foam up and if you swish you will have a mouth overflowing with frothy bubbles.
When on the master cleanse diet, having a tongue covered in funky stuff, the peroxide goes nuts and foams up tremendously. Hydrogen peroxide is my recommendation as the best master cleanse white tongue cleanser.
Today I rode 20 miles on my beach cruiser. It was very windy. The wind was blowing hard from the east across Tampa Bay. I ride on the western edge of Tampa Bay, so the wind has a good opportunity to pick up speed. The 90 foot high Dick Misener Bridge gets even windier at the top.
When the wind blows from the east I get a break on the first leg of my ride. The rest of my ride the wind is pushing against me. Usually the wind is from the West and I get a nice tailwind for my last 4 mile leg, which I prefer, so today was grueling.
I felt great on the master cleanse. I lost 2 pounds since yesterday. I am down to 206. My goal was to go from 217 to 199. I have 24 hours to drop 7 pounds. Very doubtful. If I have a good weight drop tomorrow that will encourage me to keep going and hit my goal. 2 lbs a day will take 4 days. That will put me at Saturday finish, Sunday Orange Juice.
I promised the boys bean burritos this weekend. When on the master cleanse diet you need 2 day before you get back to food. To eat on Sunday I need to be done on Thursday at the latest. 3 ½ pounds a day is not out of the realm of possibilities. So I am looking at really killing it for 48 hours to hit my goal and still eat the burritos with the boys. If I am close, it will be a tough decision.
I used this book to help keep me on track. Not eating for an extended period can really be tough.

I suffered from stomach pain and burning mostly, couldn’t sleep well and just hated those extra pounds I couldn’t get rid of no matter what I did. Now I stumbled upon this system that is easy and it doesn’t require expensive medication or difficult exercises.
