Description
Cynthia Sass, the creator and co-author of the New York Times Bestselling Flat Belly Diet presents her new break-through, 30-day weight loss program Cinch! targeted to end overeating, leaving dieters feeling full and satisfied while enjoying the best food combinations to burn fat and boost metabolism. Cinch! is now in stores as of December 28 just in time to help you with your New Year's resolutions.
The program starts with the 5-day Fast Forward plan that ends erratic eating by focusing on five simple foods—spinach, almonds, raspberries, eggs, and yogurt (or vegan-friendly alternatives)—eaten in a variety of combinations. These first 5 days promise up to 8 pounds of weight loss. Each of the five foods is low in calories yet loaded with nutrients and natural satiety-boosters, which allows you to “detox” from junk foods without feeling deprived.
The remaining 25 days of the program are packed with foods that offer maximum fat-burning, improving metabolism while unlocking the secret to the body’s satiety center with foods that the latest research shows turn on the body’s “I’m full” signal. As in Flat Belly Diet, all of the meals for the full 30-day program are created for you and are fully interchangeable. As an added feature, vegan and vegetarian options are covered so the plan can be adapted to fit any lifestyle.
My Thoughts
I received an advanced copy to read and review. I decided the best way to evaluate this book would be to follow the program myself. The first 5 fast forward days tell you to eat eggs, spinach, almonds, yogurt and raspberries. One the first day, I made myself a scrambled egg with spinach and jalapeno peppers and then had some raspberries sprinkled with almonds. I felt extremely full and satisfied and I thought that the fast forward part of the program would be pretty easy to follow. However, then it was time for lunch which called for a cup of yogurt with raspberries and almonds. Over the years, I have tried on several occasions to eat and enjoy yogurt but I just can't stomach it. Well, I prepared the yogurt with the raspberries and almonds and took a bite. And I couldn't do it. One cup of yogurt was just too much for me to try and eat.
The good news is that if you can't follow the fast forward part of the program, you can go straight to the 30 day program which is what I did. This part of the program is easy to follow. Cynthia makes the plan easy to follow even while at a restaurant by remembering the five requirements for each meal. Each meal will include a protein, a fruit or vegetable, a fat, whole grain and seasonings. Each of the meals is extremely satisifying and actually did curb my appetite and allowed me to stay full longer.
I'm currently in the middle of the program and it's going very well. I'm also on vacation as of the writing of this post so I'll see if I can maintain the program while eating out at restaurants. I definitely recommend Cinch! for those who need to lose weight as well as those who want to eat a more heathier diet.

This is the third positive review for this book that I've read in a week. I can't wait to hear how it works out while eating out. That had always been my big downfall on previous diets.
