What is the 21 Day Fix?
The 21 Day Fix has been a total game changer for ME personally. Before starting the 21 Day Fix program, I worked out every day. I used working out (and nursing an infant) as my excuse to eat whatever I felt like. I was still eat healthy(ish), but my portion sizes were much larger than they should have been. I was having dessert, drinking a glass of wine in the evenings and snacking after we put the kids in bed. I was going to bed feeling overstuffed with a belly ache. Go figure, I was not seeing the results I was expecting from working out every day and that was frustrating. I decided it was time for me to make a serious change if I was ever going to get to my goal. I ordered the 21 Day Fix and I haven’t looked back since. This program is all about nutrition, portion sizes, Shakeology and fitness. It has taught me the RIGHT way to eat for ME — what and how much to eat for my body type.
NUTRITION
80% of your results come from your nutrition. YES. Nutrition is the key to seeing results in any fitness program. I learned this the hard way, but I am so happy I know and I want all of you to learn from my mistakes. The nutrition plan for the 21 Day Fix is unparalleled. It is very SIMPLE and easy to follow. At the beginning, it may seem a little overwhelming, but I chose to just dive in and have fun with it. Why not make it fun? You are on a journey to a healthier you – make it an exciting journey!
The 21 Day Fix Nutrition Guide is included with your program and lists out approved foods, the number of containers you should eat per day, substitutions, a dining out guide, some recipes and much more. When your program arrives, your first step will be to calculate which calorie bracket you fall into based on your current weight. Your calorie bracket determines how many containers you get each day.
With this program, you are counting containers, not calories. Simple, right? YES. Each container is color coded for the food group to make it simple for you. For example, your purple container is what you measure your fruits in, yellow container is for starches, red container is for protein, etc. The containers are all different sizes based on the food group for that container. It is eye-opening to see what a serving size really looks like and the containers make it simple to determine how much food you should be adding to your plate.
The nutrition guide lists out numerous options for you to select from for each food group, satisfying even the pickiest eaters. The 21 Day also has ‘treats’ you can sub in. This includes WINE and chocolate (among other things) a few times a week. (mmmm wine) This is NOT a starvation plan. This is a lifestyle change – a HEALTHY way of eating. You will find you are eating all day, maybe more than you are used to eating, but you are eating healthy and whole foods. I have changed the way I cook for my family and what I buy at the grocery based on this plan and the rules of maintaining a clean eating lifestyle. I feel better physically and mentally and I am happy to know I am feeding my family healthy foods.
My blog houses several 21 Day Fix approved recipes which my husband also gives the thumbs up on. So basically, if my family likes the recipe, it goes on the blog for all of you to enjoy too! No need to share recipes that aren’t delicious, right? If you choose me to be your coach, I will give you all of the tools and success tips I have used and discovered along the way so YOU can reach your goals with this program – I am here to help you SUCCEED.
FITNESS
The DVD workouts with this program are mainly strength based so you will be using hand weights or a 15 lb resistance band. The 21 Day Fix fitness is for ALL levels of fitness. For every move, there is a modifier you can follow as you build your strength and endurance. For those who are more advanced, up your weights and push yourself during the workouts. If you need to press the pause button, THAT’S OK! Grab some water and get back to it. It’s all about YOU getting fit and healthy.
The 21 Day Fix includes 7 30 minute workouts, the 10 minute Ab Fix and Bonus DVD, Plyo Fix, just for purchasing through me. The best part? It is a DVD — no need to drive to the gym every day. Walk into your living room and PUSH PLAY.
As a busy mommy and wife, I would have to be at the gym at 5am every day to get my workout in during the week unless I wanted to take 2 kids with me and drop them off in the childcare area during the day. Driving to the gym and back every day, carseats, coats, monthly gym membership payment, hoping the class I want isn’t full by the time I get there and get the kids situated…several unknowns and expenses to factor in. I choose to push play from home every day because it is efficient, saves me time and still gives me a fantastic work out from a wold class, celebrity trainer.
SHAKEOLOGY
Shakeology is the most nutrient dense, complete nutrition shake on the market. Calling it a ‘protein shake’ or a ‘weightloss shake’ does not do this product the justice it deserves.
Shakeology is made up of over 70 super foods ground down from their original form and sent directly to you to enjoy each day. There are no added sugars, artificial sweeteners, dyes, heavy metals or preservatives. All of the ingredients used are directly from mother nature. Nothing fake is acceptable. The creator of Shakeology, Darin Olien, and Beachbody take a lot of pride in this product they have created and they do not want to detriment the integrity of Shakeology (or the company) by sweetening the shakes with artificial sweeteners,accepting genetically modified ingredients or adding in those dyes or preservatives. It’s truly, all about being healthy.
Shakeology is very versatile. There are several different recipes I use to change up my shake each day so I don’t get bored. It is one meal of the day I REALLY look forward to because it tastes like a cheat meal! (Snickerdoodle, peanut butter cup, pumpkin spice, thin mint…have I gotten your attention yet?)
This shake I drink daily is not just about weight loss, its about nutrition. You need to fuel your body with the right foods and vitamins to keep you performing at your peak each day. I FEEL better when I have my Shakeology each day. Sounds silly right? I know. But it is true. It is full of vitamins and minerals. Helps with digestion, junk food cravings and even my energy level. As a mommy of young boys, I am on the go ALL day chasing them around and sometimes, up several times in the middle of the night. Having more energy has been a lifesaver for me. My dad drinks Shakeology. His cholesterol numbers have decreased significantly. One of my customers has Type 1 diabetes and her doctor lowered her insulin dosage after just one week of drinking Shakeology. It is remarkable, the things I have seen this product do – getting you healthy from the inside out!
