My Thoughts:
While I have no doubt that Cinch! can do what it claims and help you lose weight in 30 days, I didn't find the program to be very practical. The 5-day Fast Forward Plan consists of eating the same 4 meals, made up of ONLY spinach, eggs, raspberries, yogurt and almonds, for 5 days. While tofu and soy are offered as substitutes for yogurt and eggs, these are the only two substitutions allowed and seems to be more of an afterthought. For me this was a complete non-starter as the only one of the 5 I'm not allergic to is spinach. Once you get to the core system its a bit better but is still very restrictive. In my opinion Cinch! is a great book filled with a lot of useful information and recipes but as a busy mom I find it more of guide than a program I can actually practically follow. It's definitely worth a read, I've been able to adapt some of the recipes and tips to fit my family, but overall it is just not for me and my family.
