The Cinch Diet

So my mom and I tried The Cinch Diet by Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD. You're only allowed 5 ingredients that are combined to make meals, shakes, and snacks: eggs, unsweetened raspberries, unsweetened plain yogurt, spinach, and almonds.
This is only for 5 days and then there is a diet plan that allows more foods for the rest of the month. But we only did the initial 5 days because you can lose up to 8 pounds.

On day one it was just so new that I didn't mind it much.

By day two my body went into a panic. I was definitely reacquainted with the feeling of hunger. But I was heating healthy foods and just decided to suck it up and keep going.

By day three every time I blinked I saw a hamburger... I was literally having to tell my body no for it's own good, as weird as that sounds. And I was irritable and moody.

By day 4 I saw visible results in my body, although I had huge dips in energy.

By day 5 I didn't think I was going to make it much longer and was glad it was my last day.

I lost 5 pounds and I feel great.
Just thought I'd share it with you all in case anyone is interested! My cravings for junk food and sweets are very subdued and it reset my metabolism. Now I'm actually hungry right when I wake up and have a good breakfast. I never used to like breakfast or bother with it. I would definitely recommend it, although I don't think I will do it again haha
