We have all seen diet fads come and go since the height of popularity of the ‘infomercial’, so sometimes it takes a bit of research to see what is just a fitness trend, and what will actually help hit our size and weight goals. The 21 Day Fix has recently become one of the BIGGEST sellers in it’s category, and even has it’s companion cookbook ‘Fixate’ launching this month. The hybrid nutritional/exercise program uses color coded containers to make portion control and calorie counting a breeze. For the busy mom who has no time, right down to the total newbie to healthy eating, the 21 Day Fix Containers are designed to take out ALL the guess work, time, and frustration with meal prep. With all the 21 Day Fix hype, the question I wanted answered was: Do the 21 Fix Containers Really Work? Before we look into both sides of the equation, let’s take a look at the 21 Day Fix Containers themselves to see how they work. The 21 Day Fix Containers: Sizes and Uses Green Container – Vegetables = 1 Cup Purple Container – Fruits = 1 Cup Red Container – Protein = 3/4 Cup Yellow Container – Carbs = 1/2 Cup Blue Container – Cheese & Healthy Fats = 1/3 Cup Orange Containers (2) – Dressing & Seeds & Oils = 2 TBSPs How many containers you use for each color is based on calculating your Calorie Level. You a) Your current weight in pounds x 11 = Caloric Baseline b) That number (caloric baseline) + 400 = Caloric Needs c) Your...

If you have had your ear to the ground in the fitness world at all lately, you might have heard the words ‘Challenge Group’ come up several times. So what is a Beachbody Challenge Group? It is the best thing to happen to home fitness! Beachbody, makers of P90X, started out selling their programs on store shelves. They did incredibly well with it, however they were noticed something along the way. Some people had a hard time staying motivated, on schedule and holding themselves accountable when doing their fitness program. Beachbody decided to add a wave of individual sales reps, called Coaches, to make sure each and every client was using the program to it’s full potential. Now every workout program sold comes with access to a Coach! Your coach is there to help listen to your needs, talk about your goals and keep you motivated and on course so you can weigh in with a smile on your face. To take it a step further, many Coaches run Challenge Groups for their clients on Facebook to make the weight loss journey much more fun. There is a separate Challenge Group for different programs (Like 21 Day Fix, T-25, PiYo, etc) and they can have anywhere from 5 to 200 participants in them at any given time! Very popular programs might have several happening a month, like we do for the ’21 Day Fix’ in September, with 4 in total happening! So what is the benefit of joining a Challenge Group? Accountability. Many users of Beachbody fitness programs are doing them alone, in their...
