Anybody doing The 21 Day Fix

While I like BB workouts such as T25 and P90X, I don't believe in any kind of diet, just eat at a caloric deficit, everything in moderation.

This is a change you want to make for life, not just a quick fix or change, so what happens after those 21 days?

I will be! I got mine ordered. It's "21 Days" to help those who have bad unhealthy habits develop healthy ones.

YES I am a coach and I know that people automatically hate them on here but I also want everyone to know I am also a NASM Certified trainer and that is what I do to help people with fitness. The 21 Day Fix is good for people and portion control and even though to some it seems silly to color code and gimmicky... it works for some people. For me it would not because I already have portions under control but it can work for others. Coaches get bad reps because some all they do is push stuff over and over again which I never do nor will I ever do. People come to me to ask about something if they are interested and then I tell them. I am honest, ethical and not looking to add to the obesity epidemic by selling lies to people. Just my .02 we aren't all cheap scammers. I am also a professional in the Finance field.

People are different and that's okay. You have the choice to trying out a program or not, but instead of saying it won't work or it's a gimmicks take an additional 2 minutes to finding out facts. There real people, real lives, that are benefiting from a program that was put to test not only once, but over and over again, by an accredited company who's solutions have proven to work! Everybody's entitled to their opinion for sure, but watch for conclusions. You might just be missing out

I don't have problem with portion control. I'm pretty healthy too, but that's because I work for it a little bit every single day. I will be doing the program because I'm very interested on the idea and it can only teach me even more about nutrition. I love the fact that it's so innovative - no counting calories, nor points, nor carbs. Takes away a lot of the work!! Same goes for a lot of the solutions offered by Beachbody.

For those doing it too, If you need accountability/motivation, count me in and just friend me

Me!

Starting on the 17th with my Challenge group. Should be getting mine on the 11th! Excited.

Why are so many so quick to judge these Beachbody programs. Every trainer (Autumn Calabrese, Shaun T, Tony Horton) are all pro's ON VIDEO showing you how to workout. How is that any different from going to a gym working in a class or with a trainer one on one? I don't get the "dancing in your living room" kind of jokes that knock Beachbody users (and coaches). They are using professionals to bring it to you cheaper than you would in a gym ($60 a session for a trainer, $75 for a nutritionist). $60, plus free shipping for the 21 day fix? Beachbody programs brought me to my career to wanting to be a CPT, and later on this year start my Bachelor's in nutrition.

As for the containers, sometimes color coding helps people. I'm a visual person so it really, really speaks to me. Sounds kind of simple minded, but if it works for some...why not use it? There is not a one size fits all method in weight loss.

Sounds seriously gimmicky.....The workouts look fine - but the very expensive little Tupperware holders for "portion" control is just silly..... And testimonies of people losing 10 and 20 pounds in 21 days is so not healthy....
You are not a Beachbody coach by any chance?

^This. It sounds like a bunch of hooey to me. I like BB workouts but I find all their other products to be junk. And the advertised claims of 10-20 lbs in 3 weeks is not only unhealthy but also completely unrealistic for most people. That's essentially 3-6 lbs per week. The only way I know of to make that happen we're not allowed to promote on the boards, which is a huge red flag to me.

I'm going to try it! I'm a mom of three, full time work, full time school, I don't have time to weigh food. We eat pretty healthy at home, avoid snacking and so on. But I need easy, and these expensive little tupperware bowls will help me figure out visually how much I should be eating. Portion sizes have always been an issue for me. Someone asked if the tupperware goes to a friends house as well? Well, once I learn visually how much I should eat everyday and do it for 21 days I should be good to go to a friends house and eat properly.

I just think that this is a great way to teach visually how much one should eat. Now, I can sit down weigh everything out, fit it into bowls I already have and then force myself to figure it out each time for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But as a single parent I do not have time for that right now, so I will take the extra expense, get a new workout out of it and learn how to eat! Once i'm done with the 21 days I better have a good understanding and accustomed to proper portion control to be able to continue that lifestyle of eating.

Am I a coach? no, will I be? no. But I've tried T25, TurboFire, Brazil Butt Lift, Zumba and P90x. I also go to the gym and lift weights. I love being able to work out at home when I don't feel like going to the gym and have options on what I feel like doing instead of sitting on my couch

I am doing it, just got it in the mail today! I am super excited

My kit arrived today, so I am anxious to get home and dig through it.

I think the biggest thing for me is not only know how much but also focusing on quality foods. I can stick to a 1200 calorie day drinking coffee and eating cookies, but that is not what is best for me.

As to it being a gimmick, it is not a "do nothing and lose" program, you are working out and you are eating better. Isn't that the core of MFP and all other programs.

As to the amount of weight loss, if look at the promotional tools it says up to 20lbs, and that is entirely feasible and healthy with some people of larger size that big drop of water weight at the beginning from reducing sodium from processed foods, sweating and drinking water.

I just started the 21 Day Fix yesterday! So far I really like it and it isn't too complicated either.

Also, in response to the negative comment, the containers are just a tool and not the solution. It is really about the right proportions and types of foods along with a workout plan.

To those that are doing it as well, little sandwich baggies fit in the containers perfectly! When I use the containers to measure I put the bag in first as like a liner. That way I can use the baggie for storage and don't have to keep cleaning the container!

I started the program on Monday! I am enjoying the workouts....the portion control (containers)............trying to get a hang of it. I am actually eating more now, than I was before.

I love this tip, starting the fix tomorrow!!! Thanks for posting this:flowerforyou:

No, I prefer a modest calorie deficit and lose the weight for free. I'd rather spend money on cute new clothes. :smokin: :bigsmile:
