today is day 10 for me as well and my tongue is also coated. from what I hear, the tongue is not a reliable way to tell if you should stop the cleansing process. I think I read somewhere in Burroughs book that the tongue returns to it's pink color after real food is ingested. Right now, the white stuff is all a coating of bacteria so I would imagine that once some food is taken in, that it would clean it up.
