Fasting is a surprisingly easy way to initiate rapid weight loss, and it can benefit a broad array of health problems. It is also an excellent way to overcome nicotine, caffeine, alcohol and drug addictions. There is no better way to promptly break bad habits and switch to a healthsupporting lifestyle than by fasting.
Our food program at Dr. Cinque's Health Retreat is based upon the realization that eating fresh fruits and vegetables, raw nuts, plus whole grains and legumes, offers the most promise for lifetime thinness and wellness. We offer a wide variety of whole natural plant foods, and we avoid animal products altogether.
The beauty of this all-plant diet is that it is automatically low-fat. Never do we add butter, margarine, or other junk fats to our food, but we do include healthy fats, such as avocado or extra-virgin olive oil (sparingly). The diet we offer has zero cholesterol. However, we do provide organically grown fruits and vegetables that are a taste treat as well as a blessing to health.
Austin has become a center for organic foods, and we have access to the finest produce available year-round.
Dr. Cinque lives at the retreat and personally supervises each guest.
About Blood Tests. . .
Dr. Cinque has full medical laboratory privileges in Austin and can order any blood test that is needed. However, this is done on a descretionary basis, and there is no blanket requirement for blood tests.
He respects the fact that some people don't like getting stuck, do not want the added expense, and do not want the bother. However, if blood tests are needed to properly manage your case, he will most certainly recommend them and order them and explain them to you,
and this will be discussed upon your arrival. Dr. Cinque has an excellent grasp of blood laboratory analysis and many years of experience, but he is not going to play mad scientist with your blood.
