NP. Which brings me to the question, I know some people have mentioned that they do not brush their teeth at all, or some use an alternative instead of toothpaste during their fast, just curious; what do you do? I continue to brush my teeth w/ paste but I make sure not to swallow any. I know they say the Sugar in the paste can trigger hunger pangs but I'll take that chance, I can't go anywhere w/out brushing my teeth lol. Thanks, it's only been several hours but so far, so good. Hope yours continue to go well. Your blog has been a great read.
