    if you really are curious about it, do a quick google search, you can find the entire nutritional program for free online with a little bit of effort on your part. I do agree with others about the workouts - there are so many free options online, youtube has a lot to chose from and a lot of plans you can follow. Why spend money when you can get the same or very similar for $0.

    The containers, I think are silly but the concept is not much different than what a lot of people follow with MFP - only eat a certain amount each day and try and pick healthier foods. People always say to weigh and measure your food for accuracy on MFP, that the idea behind 21 day fix, portions portions portions. I don't need a green container to fill my veggies with, the measuring cups/spoons/scale I already have in my kitchen works just fine.

    Personally I am following the food plan because I find it helps me concentrate more on healthier foods and just use my own measuring cups/containers etc - the calories are in line with what MFP recommends and I log the food here.

    I have done almost every "diet" or system out there, and I have found that counting calories has worked best for me. I think each individual person is different, so what works for one may not work for others. I did the 21 day fix and didn't lose weight, but felt a whole lot better. I had more energy and didn't get hungry. So it depends on your ultimate goal I think.

    Ok a lot of people here did not read or do research this diet works for multiple reasons! First of all they give u a specific food list that works because it's healthy food that targets specific fat burning and etc. then basically the containers are for portion control which so many of us lack measure your food then place it in another container eventually you will learn how to use portion control without them that's the point. You can practice any exercise regimen and it will work. Obviously if u need to lose a lot of weight reatart every 21 days until you reach ur goal!!! But this diet WORKS 100%

    By any chance are you a beach body coach??

    So much no on all the bolded. Foods are not for fat burning. No one can live their life forever with a food list. Does a slice of pizza fit into the containers?

    People have to restart the diet because it doesn't teach them anything about life after the 21 days.

    Looks like it should maybe be called the 21-day Kick Start instead. Think I'm gonna pass. Appreciate all the tips guys - thanks!!!
