Review
Cinch is an absolute GODSEND. I cannot say enough good things about how it's taken my otherwise "fit and healthy" lifestyle to the next level, one which I'd never thought possible!! Rather than being a "diet", it's really just a new outlook altogether. THANK YOU, CINCH!
For most/all of my 31 years, I've led an active and healthy lifestyle and have LOVED food. I LOVE to eat, but I also love feeling fit and healthy - and LOOKing that way! Accordingly, of course I am always conscious of what I am eating or am NOT eating or should be eating. Furthermore, I am a busy New York City professional. I don't have alot of time (or kitchen space!) to track down and keep elaborate ingredients and fancy meals, and I'm often pulled into work / social meals out.
At times, all of this can be exhausting, stressful, and can perpetuate the sort-of "It's ok; maybe I ate too much of [XYZ unhealthy food]; I don't do it all the time AND I'll work it off!!" mentality. I'd feel anxious when at a dinner party, faced with platters of rich, indulgent foods and desserts, knowing I'd probably indulge a bit (or alot!) too much, relying on the next day's grueling gym session: "It's OK! I'll work it off!" I'd say!
Cinch provided the missing piece to my lifestyle: Absolute control. For the first time, I feel totally in control of what I eat, all the time. I never am afraid of a craving getting the better of me. I don't HAVE "bad" cravings anymore. Pizza office lunch? No problem! Free platter of brownies!? Who cares?! Celebratory dinner and drinks at hip downtown restaurant?! A breeze.
Without my even realizing what had happened, by the end of the detox, Cinch had completely reset my taste buds. The 5-day "detox" may seem strict, but nothing could be more worthwhile!
Now, I crave a Larabar or frozen raspberries with almond butter. Seriously. It feels like I'm feeding my body just what it needs. Cinch re-circuits you in a way that just feels natural and RIGHT.
As an aside, my husband - a fit, regular guys' guy - eats everything I buy and prepare and says at least several times per week (totally unprovoked by me!) how he LOVES the feeling of "eating really clean". (He's not fully versed in "Cinch"-ease.) He comments on how immediately he feels the effect of a few less "clean" meals and craves getting back to our Cinch-inspired home-cooking.
Finally, I've always been a relatively "fit" person who, as mentioned, would balance eating indulgences with extra exercise. Given the compliments I've received over the past several weeks, during which I have not significantly changed my exercise routines, I realize that the little push over the clff I needed was a diet clean-up. And that's what "Cinch" did for me. For all you gym rats who justify some "sloppy" eating with your workouts, you deserve the maximum benefits of your athletic efforts! Cinch will really allow you to see and feel results you've not imagined.
How did I find "Cinch"? My friend dropped three jeans sizes on the plan, and while she was starting out, she talked about feeling so SATISFIED by the food, about no longer feeling OBSESSED with food. That sounded great to me! And it's no exaggeration; it's just what Cinch does. It's the best non-diet eating "overhaul" you could imagine. You owe it to yourself!
