Hello Every I am finishing up my second round of the 21 Day Fix and I wanted to share a little bit about what it is, my journey, results, pros, and cons.
What is the 21 Day Fix?
The 21 Day Fix is a Beachbody program created by clelebrety trainer Autumn Calabrese! The 21 Day Fix is not just another diet or fad. It is actually the exact opposite. It is a healthy lifestyle. You don't have to stare your self or cut out any food groups. It's all about moderation and portion control. It's designed to help you lose weight, build muscle, or maintain. That's what I love about it, it fits everyones goals based on how many calories you should be consuming daily to lose or gain. This program is well rounded in that it incorporate fitness and nutrition!
What's included in the 21 Day Fix Challenge Group?
- Workout DVD'S (9 total, 6 core workouts that you mainly use)
- Shakeology (30 day supply, so for me thats 30 breakfast's!!!)
- More information on Shakeology HERE
- Containers
- Shakeology shaker cup
- Recipes
- Program guide and schedual
- 30 day free trial of Beachbody On-demand (awesome because you can do your workouts anywhere with WiFi...great if you travel)

The Containers
I love that I don't have to count calories anymore! It's all done for me this the containers.
The containers correspond to a food group.
- Purple: Fruit
- Green: Vegetables
- Red: Protein
- Yellow: Starches and Carbs
- Blue: Nuts, cheese, avocado
- Orange: dressing and seeds
How Does the Program Work?
As you can see in the image below(right), you find out how many calories you should be consuming each day to lose weight (their is a separate calculation for maintaining weight!). That number puts you into a range that corresponds to the number of each containers you get each day (see picture to the left for a visual;))
Results
Below are my results from before I started, to the end of my first 21 Day Fix round, and then my last results from my second round of the 21 Day Fix. I have so much more energy, I feel more comfortable in my skin, and I have change some eating habits that were not so great! I really am in love with this program and I was very excited to share!
Overall Pros & Cons
Pros
- It's a lifestyle NOT a diet or a weight loss fad
- I got results!
- It's a sustainable lifestyle
- You don't have to cutout any food group
- You still get to have 'treats'
- I learned what my diet was lacking
- The workouts are short and sweat (30 minutes)
- I have more energy and I am more confident...I feel AMAZING
Cons
- The meal planning takes practice
- You need time on Saturday or Sunday to prep and meal plan
- You have to look and schedule in your workouts so that you don't keep putting it off ("oh, I will work out in an hour" oh "I lost track of time...tomorrow"). Scheduling is a life saver!
