Aside from loosing weight, removing toxins and wastes from the body is actually the main purpose of Lemonade diet or Master Cleanse diet as what it is otherwise called. More and more people are getting into this diet because of the good benefits it can give to their body. Moreover, if you’re on this diet or if you’re planning to try it, one of changes that you will surely notice is the change in tongue coating. You might see several gross changes on your tongue and as to how and why it happens, just stick on this article and keep reading.

Why the Change?

It is to be noted that Master Cleanse Lemonade diet is not actually a weight loss program but a purifying diet. That means, it is a diet that would remove the toxins in your body, including the deep seated ones. So once you get into the diet, those toxins will come out and your tongue is one of the spots they will likely appear. A normal tongue has a pinkish color. It is one factor that helps you determine if your mouth is fresh or if you need to have a toothbrush.

You will notice the white mucus like coating making your tongue appear more whitish and in some cases, brownish. This can cause a foul odor and a not so fresh feeling on your mouth.  However, this tongue coating condition is just on the first few days of the diet since it is on those days that most toxins and wastes will get out of your body.

And aside from the changes in tongue coating, you will also go through frequent bowel movements and urination. So better be prepared with these changes if you are in a Lemonade Master Cleanse Diet.

Will the tongue’s normal coating be back?

As you go through the diet, the white cheesy tongue will be cleared which can be an indication that your body is clearing up as well. The whitish, sort of brownish tongue will then return to its pinkish color as you continue with the diet. According to Mr. Burroughs in his book about the Lemonade Master Cleanse Diet, “one of the best signals of the completed diet is when the formerly coated and fuzzy tongue is clear pink and clean looking. During the diet it becomes very badly coated.”

The changes in the tongue coating may vary from one person to the other. That may depend on how toxic your body is or on how your body’s systems react to the diet. The changes in tongue coating are normal part of the diet so there’s no need for you to freak out. Just get on with the diet and you will eventually get back your tongue’s healthy, normal coating. That is, when your tongue turns to its clear, pinkish color.
