Maria Celeste – 56 lbs. Healthier


Every year, Maria Celeste would start a new diet, only to stop within two or three weeks. When she reached 209 pounds, she knew she needed to try again to lose the weight. She couldn't bend down easily, her legs and knees hurt, and she could no longer fit into XL-sized clothes. “I had been using Shaklee products since 2000 and I trusted them, ” Maria Celeste says, "so I decided to try the Cinch® Inch Loss Plan.

“I was nervous at the beginning because I thought I would starve.”
The thought of eating two shakes, a tea, one meal, and a protein bar as snack scared her. She kept thinking, “That’s not enough food, I am going to be hungry, and I am not going to be able to endure it.”

But Maria Celeste knew other people had lost weight with the Cinch plan, and thought to herself, “If those people can do it, then so can I.”

Maria Celeste likes the taste of Cinch as well as the results. “The products taste great,” she says. “I love the chocolate shake with a banana blended in!” She also thinks the meal plans and recipes are great—even her friends and family liked the food she made

To Maria Celeste, Cinch is much more than a diet—“it is a path to a healthy lifestyle,” she says“ I never understood portion size, and never ate many vegetables,” she says. “Once I started to measure my food, I was shocked to realize how much I had been eating before. Now I understand correct portion size. And vegetables? I love them!”

Maria Celeste also became more active. “I bought a stationary bike and began riding it five days in a week,” she says. “Later, I started to take walks and kept track of the steps using my pedometer.”

With the help of the Cinch Plan, Maria Celeste says she feels more confident. “Better yet,” she says, “I feel like I can help other people to recover their shape and build a business of their own.”
