Why I Love the 21 Day Fix

It seems like I have spent the majority of my teen and adult life obsessing over my weight. Name a diet I have tried it. From Weight Watchers to the Whole 30, My Fitness Pal to IIFYM (If It Fits Your Macros). You would think that for as many diets as I have tried that I would be at my goal weight by now! But even though I lost weight with many of those diets I inevitably gained it all back PLUS some after I went back to normal eating.

When I started the 21 Day Fix I was honestly a little bit skeptical about it. I thought it would simply be another diet where I would feel deprived and want to go back to “normal” eating as soon as possible. Instead, what I found was that the 21 Day Fix meal plan is one that I can see myself following for LIFE.

I LOVE that the program focuses on real, clean foods and portion control of these foods. It is a common misconception that if you are eating healthy food that you can eat as much as you want. Um nope. Peanut or almond butter is “healthy” but eating half of a jar in one sitting is NOT healthy!

 I pretty much already knew what foods I should be eating, but I found out that it is possible to eat too much healthy food! I also realized that I was not eating enough vegetables or protein and way too many carbs and fruit.

A common question that I get regarding the Fix is “What CAN you eat?” My answer? Pretty much all healthy foods, but in the correct portions. When you order you will receive a set of color coded containers. Each container represents a certain food group. For example red is for protein, yellow is for carbs, purple is for veggies, etc.

You will be allotted a certain number of containers per a day depending on your goals. What you chose to eat is up to you! As long as it is on the meal plan list and it fits in your container you can eat it!

Here are some examples of meals that I ate during my first round of the 21 Day Fix:

It is also important to note that you ARE allowed treats on occasion such as wine or chocolate and there are also guidelines provided for when you go out to eat! I honestly did not feel deprived during the 21 Days because I knew that if I wanted a treat I could have it. Because of that, I found myself not wanting treats as often…which is a huge accomplishment for a girl with a huge sweet tooth!

Another FAQ is “Do you recommend the 21 Day Fix?” UM yes! Not just because I am a coach, but I truly think that this has been a life-changing program for me. I have struggled with disordered eating habits since I was a teen and never felt confident or proud of my body. In 21 days I was able to develop new, healthy eating habits. Never once did I want to binge, have a major cheat meal or skip a workout. It is true what they say:

This program is for women who need to lose between 5-50+ pounds. It is also for women who may be at their goal weight but want to develop a healthy, well balanced meal plan.

I have not felt this proud of my body in a LONG time. Sure, I’m not where I want to be quite yet, but because of the 21 Day Fix I am confident that I WILL get there.
