Cinch Diet/inch loss plan by Shaklee

Next I will be reviewing Cinch the inch loss plan by Shaklee. Shaklee takes a nice approach by advertising their product as an inch loss plan compared to exclusively referring to it as a weight loss diet. Weight isn't always the best way to judge the success or failure of a diet. muscle ways more then fat and the best fat to lose is around your midsection therefore inch loss makes sense.



This Shaklee's description of the Cinch plan:

The Dreaded Diet Cycle
If you are like most people, you’ve struggled with your weight at one time or another. You’ve
been on every fad diet. Initially you lose some weight, but then you gain it back and find
yourself heavier than before. This is the dreaded cycle of yo-yo dieting.
Yes, in the short term you can lose the weight, but every time you do this you may be doing more
damage than good because your body thinks it’s experiencing a “famine.” In response to that
famine, your body goes into survival mode and conserves energy by slowing down your metabolism.
Your body does its best to hold on to the fat you have for as long as it can. So, with many diets
the weight you initially lose is not from just fat, but muscle, too. And that loss of muscle slows
down your metabolism even further because muscle burns calories. Muscle = Metabolism.
There are also common challenges—emotional and other physical ones that come along with
dieting. Many diets are too restrictive or monotonous, or leave you feeling deprived and don’t
teach you how to permanently change your eating and exercise habits. They leave you feeling
hungry, tired, and craving the foods you miss most. You’ve about had it, so you return to your old
eating habits and gain the weight back. And the sad part is, the weight you put back on is fat weight.

How Cinch Works

The Cinch Inch Loss Plan is different. It addresses one of the primary reasons why other diets
fail. Cinch provides you a plan to lose the right way. Instead of losing weight from fat and muscle,
the Cinch Inch Loss Plan is Powered by Leucine™ to help preserve muscle while you lose
weight from fat.† Preserving muscle mass also prevents your metabolism from dropping.
The Cinch Inch Loss Plan with leucine is scientifically formulated to help you lose weight, lose
inches, and break the cycle of perpetual dieting.
The Cinch Inch Loss Plan is designed for real life, so it also addresses the physical and emotional
challenges that come along with your weight control efforts. With proprietary formulas, the
Cinch products will help you control your hunger, boost your energy, and keep you feeling
satisfied. Plus, you’ll get healthy personalized menus, specific to your body’s needs and your
individual preferences.
