Break the Perpetual Dieting Cycle

CINCH™ INCH LOSS PLAN IS FORMULATED TO BREAK THE 
PERPERTUAL DIETING CYCLE 

Innovative Program Powered by Leucine™ Provides Tangible Results 
WHITE LAKE, MI, August 14, 2012 – A successful weight management solution might seem as elusive to most Americans as the proverbial fountain of youth: according to a report by the Institute of Medicine, over two–thirds of the weight lost by an individual will typically be regained within one year, and almost all within five years. This kind of weight cycling – losing weight only to regain it once more – can have a negative effect on the body's ability to maintain its "set point," or resting metabolic rate, leading to progressive difficulty in losing weight and a vicious cycle of dieting failure. 

"Most people don't realize that muscle equals metabolism – one pound of muscle burns upwards of 30 to 50 calories per day," said Dr. Jamie McManus, Chairman of Medical Affairs, Health Sciences and Education for health and wellness company Shaklee Corporation. "Many typical diets trigger the body in such a way that they cause weight to be lost from water and muscle, rather than from fat. On the other hand, when muscle is preserved, you lose weight from fat and the body's ability to burn calories (metabolism) is not diminished." 

To help those seeking to lose weight from fat, not muscle, Shaklee introduces the Cinch inch loss plan, a comprehensive program formulated to deliver weight loss and inch loss results. Unlike a typical fad diet, Cinch is specifically designed to help users successfully reach their desirable body weight while preserving muscle. Cinch products contain clinically proven ingredients including leucine, a key amino acid which provides a key signal to help the body preserve lean body mass (muscle), protein to help control hunger, and other ingredients to help retain normal blood sugar levels. 

"In doing our scientific research, we found a number of clinical studies focusing on how leucine helped body-builders build and preserve lean muscle mass. Shaklee scientists applied that insight – along with 50 years of nutritional expertise and working with elite athletes - to create a solution that helps ordinary people lose weight. The Cinch inch loss plan is simple, convenient and best of all, it works. In fact, we guarantee your satisfaction or your money back." 

A twelve–week preliminary clinical trial shows that Cinch helped participants: 
Lose weight and inches – over one pound lost per week during the study period.
Burn fat - estimated fat mass decreased by over 16 pounds in 12 weeks.
Preserve lean body mass- estimated lean body mass was maintained over the course of 12 weeks.
Significantly decrease the body's waist–to–hip ratio – a factor that has recently been established as a reliable predictor of cardiovascular disease risk, waist and hip circumferences were reduced by 4.1 inches and 2.6 inches respectively.
"What really impressed me about Shaklee's weight management system, aside from successful weight loss results, was the unusual request made by many study participants for additional products once the trial was over. Apparently, they wanted to continue with the program because of the positive impact it had made in their lives," said Gene Spiller, Ph.D., principal investigator at the Health Research and Studies Center in Los Altos, California. 

Cinch is a comprehensive program, yet is easy to incorporate into a variety of lifestyles – from soccer moms to corporate executives on the run to health conscious seniors. The Cinch product line includes: 
Cinch Shake. Available in chocolate and vanilla, it contains 24 grams of protein per serving to help control hunger and promote a feeling of fullness.
