Aside from the Tongue-Coat Mantra, many people choose to end the cleanse on day 10. This has been perpetuated by a book called Lose Weight, Have More Energy & Be Happier in 10 Days by Peter Glickman, who runs the website <>, which I linked to earlier. The original book states that 10 days are the fewest days one can complete to see the benefits of a cleanse, so this seems to be the cleanse-lite approach. Many websites say that no one should start a cleanse with a set cut-off date. In my cleanse, my boyfriend set out with the goal of cleansing until the tongue is uncoated, but we did set a max-cleanse time, 12 days. This was heavily influenced by our friends, who had each gone 12 days before ending the cleanse. I recommend one seeks the advice of a specialist if they consider going on the cleanse for around 20 days or longer to find out how their health could be affected by the cleanse. There are certainly people who have done the cleanse 40+ days, and survived, but lost nutrients can be a problem...and I wouldn’t brush off the Senna issue either.
Once you end the cleanse it is imperative that you treat your body delicately. Your digestive tract is pure and clean as a baby’s. Treat it as such. Don’t go breaking the cleanse with pizza, as some have done. Not only will it cause extreme pain (some bloggers have done this, and ended up in the hospital from the pain. For reals.), but what is the point? If you are doing this either as a cleanse or as a liquid reducing diet, that is a completely absurd way to finish out the process! C’mon! Anyway. Some info:
