    I have been doing it since February and have lost almost 70 pounds total. It is NOT a gimmick in any way shape or form … the "colored containers" help with portion control and are HUGELY helpful to be honest; why "weigh food" - this is MUCH easier. Using the colored containers has also really helped me to "eyeball" portion sizes when eating out, etc. I would say the majority of us don't know how many servings of fruit, carbs, protein, healthy fats, veggies, etc. we should have a day AND what the portion of each should be; the containers remove the guess work … NO weighing, counting, calorie counting, macro/micro tracking, point conversion and tracking, etc. - it is just super easy! The workouts are great as well; I have lost a total of 140 pounds and have been very concerned with sagging skin … thanks to the workouts that is a worry of the past (I have NONE at this point).

    Anyway, just my thoughts.

    that is awesome good for you i have lost 35 pounds

    For folks who would like to know the size of the containers it is as follows:

    vegies green 1 cup or 8 oz
    fruit purple 1 cup or 8 oz
    protein red 2/3 cup or 5 oz
    carbs yellow 1/2 cup or 4 oz
    fats and cheese blue 1/4 cup or 2 oz
    seeds and oils orange 1/8 cup or 1 oz



    I also found a website that will calculate how many calories and what and how many containers of food you should eat for the 21 day fix. After finding this information, I can use measuring cups I have at home along with my own workout routine to do this program for free. Here is the website for the calculations and information:

    Fortunately for everyone using a simple kitchen scale to measure and log, 5 oz is still 5 oz regardless of the color of your container.
