21 Day Fix – What Is It?

The 21 Day Fix program is a popular fitness and nutrition program created by Beachbody. It is designed to help individuals achieve their fitness and weight loss goals in just 21 days. The program combines portion control containers with daily workouts to create a comprehensive approach to health and fitness.

It’s fitness and nutrition simplified: no counting calories, carbs and macros. It’s done for you.

There is no deprivation.

21 Day Fix – What Is It?

On The 21 Day Fix, you can still have chocolate, wine, pizza, lasagna and all of your favorites.

It’s about planning and making it work with your plan. The 21 Day Fix is about REAL LIFE, and changing your habits into healthy ones.

You will be given the following containers: green (vegetables), purple (fruit), red (proten), yellow (carbs), blue (healthy fat) and orange (dressings) and a tsp (you supply – for EVOO, coconut oil, etc). Once you figure out your calorie range (the only calorie figuring you have to do), you simply follow the guidelines and fill your containers as it suggests.
Eg: I am in the 1200-1499 calorie bracket, which means every day I must have:

3 Greens (vegetables)
2 purple (fruit)
4 red (protein)
2 yellow (carb)
1 blue (healthy fat)
1 orange (dressing, vinaigrette)
2 tsp (evoo, nut butters, etc).

Three times a week I can switch out a carb for 4 oz wine, some chocolate or other “treats”, I really like how I am able to do this as it allows real life situations (unlike other nutrition plans). Birthdays happen, celebrations happen and there are simple just days where a glass of wine is needed!

Along with the nutrition plan you have a quick daily 30 minute workout (every day is different).

They say it takes 21 Days to start a new habit, and this is a great way to begin your new lifestyle change.

How does the portion control system work in the 21 Day Fix program?

The 21 Day Fix program uses color-coded portion control containers to help participants manage their food intake. Each container is assigned a specific food group (e.g., proteins, vegetables, fruits, carbs, fats). You are then given a certain number of containers to use each day based on your target calorie ranges and goals. By filling these containers with the right foods, you control your calorie intake and ensure a balanced diet! Awesome!

Why I Chose The 21 Day Fix

I consider myself to be quite knowledgeable when it comes to fitness and nutrition, but I have got off track and I need something to kick my butt into gear. I do well with plans and guidelines, and after a lot of reading I decided that The 21 Day Fix was for me. I guess a lot of other’s thought the same because it was sold out on the third day of it’s release! I waited two months for it to come to me (it was heavily back ordered) and it was worth the wait.

Before I ordered it, I read a ton of reviews and results from the coach test group and watched an hour long webinar. When I buy a product that is for my health and fitness I really look into it. I can’t mess around with calorie deprivation or anything that could screw up my metabolism (I had my thyroid removed a few years ago and take Synthroid so my metabolism is messed up as it is). I was really excited with what I learned on the webinar.

What types of workouts are included in the 21 Day Fix program?

The 21 Day Fix program offers a variety of 30-minute workouts that are designed to target different areas of the body. These workouts include cardio, strength training, and yoga exercises. The program also includes a modifier for each workout, making it suitable for individuals of various fitness levels, from beginners to advanced. The combination of these workouts helps participants burn calories, build strength, and improve overall fitness within the 21-day timeframe.

I am so excited to start The 21 Day Fix.

I will post once a week for the three weeks I do it (I am also planning on doing a second round) and post my results, along with what I’m eating.
