21 Day Fix - REAL results/opinions ..no coaches

What happens on day 22?

^^ding

I have a really busy schedule as well and I plan my meals and find time to get some workout in (walking, running, parkour, yoga)
you just go to shift things around and make time, eventually you will get used to it

You say it "looks simple" and that you have a "really busy schedule", therefore saving a lot of time.

We all have busy schedules but you have to make the time to plan ahead your meals and your workouts. Looking at the 21 Day Fix plan it seems you have to pack your foods into little portion controlled containers. How is that different from what you would normally do? How is that saving time? It still involves planning.
The workout plan thats included comes with at least 3 different dvd's, targetting upper body, lower body, and total body. You can acccess any amount of workouts on line for FREE that do all of that. Try fitnessblender or the BeFitChannel on youtube.

I think in the long run you can save yourself the money and make the time to make better food choices/portions and schedule in workouts. As some other posters have asked, what happens on Day 22? If you haven't made nutrition and exercise a lifestyle you can stick with, then no amount of "quick fixes" will get you the results you're looking for.

If you still have more weight to lose you do another round. Some of the success stories report losing almost 100 lbs in doing 10 rounds. That's almost a whole year.

It's working out and putting food into containers....you can do that without paying whatever ridiculous amount they charge. Just eat less, you'll lose weight for free.


ETA: OP, could you please come back and post how many PM's from BB coaches you got? I'm always curious about that whenever I see someone start a thread that has anything to do with Beach Body!

I looked at it because a friend at work is doing it. It did not look simple to me. I think the easiest thing in the world is to eat whatever you want as long as you weigh/measure/ log/ and eat at a deficit. My friend at work has not lost a pound. it's been 2 weeks

I AM a Beachbody coach, and I know you said no coaches, but coaches do know a bit about the program. I myself have no specific interest in the program but lots of my friends have used it and have gotten good results. The exercises are considered to work well for all fitness levels, but the main idea behind 21 Day Fix is that it teaches balanced eating habits. The container system helps you to know what to eat, how much, and when - so if you are a person who struggles with nutrition, it could be a good option for ya. I don't have interest in the program because I feel like I eat just fine, but yeah - I think that's the main draw.

Healthy eating, regardless of whether or not you decide to go with 21 Day Fix, does require a little bit more planning and prep work on your part. So if that is something you can commit to, go for it.

And to the person who asked about what happens on day 22? Many people with more amounts of weight to lose choose to repeat the program multiple times to continue to see results. A person who is already in good shape might use the program as a way to do a quick tighten/tune up before a wedding or vacation. It's 21 days because it takes 21 days to form a habit, but the habits can be ongoing and fit your healthier lifestyle.

I don't think 21 Day Fix is currently on backorder but it was the most massive roll-out in Beachbody history. I couldn't friggen believe it, lol.

Lol, I only got snarky because the other rep recommended a product that wasn't even asked about.

Not all coaches are vultures, btw. I'd never try the MFP forums to "make a sale" or fill up a challenge group. I'm a hobby coach more than anything.

I know some people it worked for... but they already had an ok weight. That's my problem with it... you can't expect a person of normal weight and a morbidly obese person to use the same containers really.

You actually get assigned a calorie goal based on your current physical stats - like height, weight, activity level (much like MFP) and then follow the plan for that calorie goal. So a bigger person would use the same containers, but use more of them, if that makes sense. And then when you lose more weight your goals can change.
