A Typical Day on the 21 Day Fix

Lets face it, eating healthy can be boring at times.  It's so much easier to grab a bag of chips or cookies on the go or convenient to heat up a microwave dinner or food in a can but lets be real.  It's all processed foods that are terrible for us!  When I stop and think of all the crap these companies put into our foods it makes me angry!

It's mind boggling how many people out there are oblivious to what they're eating.  I'm no angel.  For a while I just got burnt out and ate for convenience and pleasure.  I didn't care how bad it was for me.  As I started to see the pounds pack on my small frame I realized something needed to change.  

I started doing research and following public figures that were into fitness.  I taught myself and made it a habit of checking the back of the labels to see exactly what was in the food I was about to purchase and turned to Organic food.  It took some getting used to.  Just because an item says it's Organic or Fat Free doesn't mean it's healthy and good for you.  If you can't pronounce the ingredient, most of the time you shouldn't eat it.  

I used to count calories and weigh my food but who wants to live like that?  Most of us aren't prepping for a fitness or bodybuilding competition.  We just want to eat normally.  If I think I'm on a diet and eat bland food, chance are I'm not going to be successful and I'll give in to my sweet tooth.  The key is to eat the foods you love in moderation and to make small changes here and there.  Don't think of it as a "Diet" and think of it as a lifestyle change.  You're only doing yourself a huge favor by feeding your body the nutrients it needs. Who says you can't enjoy a glass of wine or a piece of chocolate?  In my opinion, it's needed!  Your body needs that shock factor from eating clean, healthy foods too and we all love a little indulgence, just not too much.  

Ok so let's get to it.  A day on the 21 Day Fix is NOT boring.  The great thing about it is that you can still savor your fave foods by cleaning them up!  Instead of having the sour cream and cheese loaded with fat, choose low fat instead.  Before grabbing that white loaf of bread, skip on down to the Ezekial bread section where you'll get a lot more nutrients and there isn't a bunch of extra stuff in your bread that you don't know how to say.  Here is an example of what my day looks like following the eating plan:

Breakfast:  

2 Scrambled Eggs with Broccoli, Steel Cut Oatmeal with PB, Blueberries & Cinnamon

OR

Ezekial 4.9 Cinnamon Raisin Toast, 1 tsp of Peanut Butter with 4 Slices of Turkey Bacon & Strawberries

Snack 1:  

Basil Delight Shakeology

Lunch: 

Balsamic Chicken & Veggies

Snack 2:  

12 Almonds & 1 Apple

Dinner: 

Chicken Stirfry

And just like that you've got 5 meals.  I prefer 5 small meals as opposed to 6 because well, that's just how much I want to eat!  Too each their own.  Hope this helps.

21 Day Fix 411

The most common question I'm getting these days is, "What exactly is the 21 Day Fix?"  To put it simply, it's a program that teaches you about portion control in addition to 30 minute workouts and your daily dose of Shakeology.  

You see, what people fail to realize, is that no matter how much cardio or weightlifting you do, if you're not eating right you won't get the results you're looking for.  Eating a cupcake or bowl of pasta then running on the treadmill for 45 minutes doesn't cancel each other out.  Haven't you ever heard the term, abs are made in the kitchen?  Well, it's a true statement!

The 21 Day Fix program helps you to understand how much you really should be eating without having to count calories.  I mean seriously, who has the time or patience for that?  When you purchase a Challenge Pack, it comes with all of your essential needs.  You'll receive color coded containers for specific food groups.  As long as you're eating off of the approved list of foods, if it fits in the container YOU CAN EAT IT!!  Along with your workouts you'll also receive a 30 Day Supply of Shakeology with an 84 page food guide.  

Great news is that you don't have to give up the foods you love.  You can still have your glass of wine or chocolate covered raisins.  The program is designed for you to lose weight by eating right and working out to the daily 30 minute workouts but we all have a sweet tooth and that's ok.  The key is moderation.  

Take a look at this video to give you a better understanding of what the 21 Day Fix is all about....

Let me be frank.  This post isn't meant to "talk" you into purchasing the program.  This is a tool for you to utilize and only YOU can make that change.  Either you want to continue making excuses for yourself as to why you can't and won't or you'll make that first step.

Honestly, if you're tired of the quick fixes that don't work or the magic pills that promise so much but you're left empty handed just STOP and dedicate your next 21 days to changing your life.  If you put in the work you're sure to see results!  Take a leap of faith.  To order your 21 Day Fix click here.

P.S. 21 Day Fix sold out in its 1st day.  Due to popular demand, there is an estimated 10 day delay in shipping so when you order your Challenge Packs you won't be charged until your order is ready to be shipped.  The longer you wait to order the longer it will take to become a NEW YOU!
