In Week 1 of Cinch, there is a Fast Forward program. The Fast Forward program is optional but it is basically like a detox and jump start to the rest of your life! Not everyone likes the Fast Forward program because you can only eat certain items and have to dedicated 5 days to the process. But, you can also shorten the plan to work for you and do the Fast Forward for a few days instead of 5. The great thing about Cinch is that you can really custom tailor the diet to your lifestyle and make it part of your life, easily! I really enjoyed the Fast Forward program because I only had to think about 5 things to eat for 5 days and I lost 7lbs!
