Cinch! by Cynthia Sass: Will this new weight loss method work? An Invite to Follow Along

If you're a regular reader here, you know I'm adament about keeping my weight down to avoid Type 2 diabetes following gestational diabetes I had in my last pregnancy.

And I'll admit that it feels good in a vain sort of way.  But did I mention that I literally, physically feel better too?

Well, recently discovered a new diet I want to try, in Cynthia Sass's book Cinch! that's releasing on December 28, 2010.

According to promotions, if you follow the steps faithfully, participants can see significant changes in their eating habits and watch the pounds fall off.

Here is the synopsis of the book:

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.

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.

I hope you'll follow along with me as I give this 30 days program a try and see if these claims hold true:

• Weight loss—up to eight pounds in the first five days and drop a size in the first thirty days
• Increased self-confidence
• Mastery of the tactics proven to keep weight off
• An understanding of the powerful emotions that drive you to eat when you’re not hungry
• Better health, including a surge in energy

Will I stick with it?  Will it work?  I don't know, but I guess we'll see.

Hey, here's an idea - if you've been looking to lose weight and free yourself of crappy foods, then why don't you pre-order Cinch! and try it along with me.  Each day we can check in with our results.

Sound like fun?  Okay!  Then let's do it!
