The 21 Day Fix Review 

21 Day Fix consists of 7 different 30 minute workouts, that are done for just 21 days. Autumn Calabrese, who is a celebrity trainer and a National Bikini Trainer keeps all the workouts very simple, so anyone at any fitness level can jump in, and get incredible results. The second element of course is nutrition. It’s no secret that 70% of your results is based on nutrition. That’s where 21 Day Fix shines. 21 Day Fix teaches you portion control. You can eat too much of good food. With 21 Day Fix, you can improve your health and fitness in less time, and get incredible results that would normally take 60 to 90 days to achieve. 

The 21 Day Portion Control System 

The 21 Day Fix program is a one of a kind system that uses containers to teach you an easy, fast, and accurate way to control how much you eat. Gone is the guess work. Gone is wondering if you ate too much food. Gone is calorie counting. You can even have wine while doing the 21 Day Fix!

Who is 21 Day Fix For?

Autumn is actually a single mom, and a fitness trainer that needed a way to stay in the best shape of her life. This program was specifically developed for people at all fitness stages. If you have 100 pounds to lose, or 10 pounds to lose, 21 Day Fix is for you. I honestly can’t wait until I get a chance to do the workout and the program, and post the results in this 21 Day Fix Review.

I'm more than just a Beachbody Coach! Who am I?

It's not a coincidence that there are some people that seems to have it ALL! Good job, good relationships, always smiling --- they have a sense of "richness" attached to them. I used to think these people were lucky. 

Also, it's not a coincidence that there are others that never feel content. No matter what they feel poor, they are stuck in a job they hate and they have crappy relationships. One bad friend after another. One boyfriend that's abusive. (Disclaimer on this statement -- a girl is NEVER AT BLAME, nor is this EVER DESERVED).

I was girl #2 right before I turned 30. I felt lost. I'd ask myself -- why did I attract the abusive friendships and relationships. Where was my passion? I graduated from a great college and had some good careers -- why at 30 did my best friend stab be behind the back and steal money under my nose, I had zero passion to wake up. No job of substance to walk into and no best friend to be by my side.

I DECIDED I could CONTROL my UNIVERSE. I dove into dedicating time into ME as opposed to anything else. For what I was attracting REALLY F-king SUCKED. I learned that SUCCESSFUL and POSITIVE PEOPLE took RISKS!

For instance, I could look and say I have no good job, I am not rich and I can let that consume me. Well guess what happens? You will stay poor. You'll attract these situations because that's what you're expecting. You then come to realize that's what YOU DESERVE. YOU just CREATED a rather SHITTY DESTINY.

At this EXACT DAY last year, I DID IT! I took a RISK. I COMMITTED to CHANGE. I wanted to be person #1. I told people I was going to be a part of Beachbody and I was gonna do ANYTHING IT TOOK to be a SUCCESS STORY.

I could have bought a couple dresses, but instead spent money on a challenge pack in order to become a Beachbody Coach. Since spending this money was a risk, completing this program had even more added value. So I did it. I committed and I knew I would fail if I gave up. Not only was this about changing my UNIVERSE into one FULL OF RICHNESS, I knew deep down I could ENRICH someone else's life. I thought ok maybe a couple people might want to lose some weight and maybe make a few dollars on that side.

Boy was I WRONG. I took a RISK putting up my before and after pictures, letting people into my personal life and WOW it PAID OFF not only physically, but mentally and fiscally.

It gives me CHILLS everyday, that if I decided to keep CRYING about what I DIDN'T HAVE, I would keep NEVER HAVING! And now I have been able to MENTOR around 200 people on my team to their first couple pounds lost to over 20.. I have seen coaches' first paychecks start from small to covering bills.

You'll see over and over again SUCCESSFUL people didn't get just LUCKY. They took risks to better their surroundings. And all of this in one sentence...

They made shit happen.

I hope this above can help at least one person today make their dreams come true!

Beat the Second-Week Slump

Last week, you were feeling gung ho and ready to tackle your weight-loss goals head-on. This week? Not so much. You're tired, you're hungry, and you're aching in places you didn't even know existed. But before you lose all motivation, take heart—the second week is supposed to suck. "In week two, your body is generally in a state of severe breakdown," says Steve Edwards, Vice President of Results and Fitness Advisor for Beachbody. After all, you're eating less, going hard, and your body needs some time to adapt to your new lifestyle. Here are a few slump-proof strategies for pushing through Week 2.

Don't panic if you plateau

You've busted your butt all week and been downright virtuous about your diet. So when you hop on the scale, you're ready to see the results of your hard work. But here's the rub: During Week 2, it's not unusual to get stuck or even gain a pound or two. "As your body adjusts to exercise, cortisol—a performance-enhancing stress hormone—is released," says Edwards. "Part of cortisol's function is to promote water retention as a defense mechanism for survival. This causes you to feel puffy and gain some weight."

So, let's recap. You're achy, you're starving, and the number on the scale is now moving in the wrong direction. It's no wonder you feel discouraged and are tempted to bail altogether. But hang in there, because your body will eventually get the memo. "It's a necessary part of the process," says Edwards. "Sometime between Weeks 3 and 6, once you adapt to your exercise program, you stop producing cortisol and flush the excess water, which leads to you feeling and looking fitter, and losing some weight."

Track progress, not just weight loss

While there's plenty of science behind your plateau, that doesn't make it any less frustrating. So when the number on the scale isn't budging, how can you tell if you're still on the right track? Start recording your healthy habits—whether that means keeping a workout log or posting Instagram® shots of your meals—so you can see all the changes you've made. "Track the behavior, not the outcome," says Joshua Klapow, PhD, Chief Behavioral Scientist for the health incentive company ChipRewards and author of Living SMART: 5 Essential Skills to Change your Health Habits Forever. "Track the food you eat, the steps you take, and the calories you burn, and make those your markers of success." Seeing these changes can give you just enough motivation to power through this week's plateau, and Klapow says that's all that matters: "Think of motivation like a tank of gas. The tank doesn't need to be full to move, but you can't run on empty."

Focus on the process

Sure, your biggest motivation might be squeezing into smaller jeans. But this week, it can help to focus on all the touchy-feely stuff instead. "Reframe the way you think about working out so it becomes your escape, your path to wellness, something you do for you," says Kim Chronister, PsyD, a health psychologist and author of The Psychology Behind Fitness Motivation. "Our thoughts can powerfully affect our ability to tackle a new weight-loss routine." If you're too focused on the scale, a second-week plateau may feel like a huge failure; if you focus on the "me time" you get while working out, you'll achieve that no matter what.

If that doesn't help, just acknowledge that this week won't be your favorite, and keep on trucking. "Belief in the process helps at this stage," says Edwards. "You cannot make a total body composition change without suffering through a period where all of your goals seem like they are going backwards." He compares it to scaling a mountain or running an Ironman—miserable while you're in the thick of it, but insanely rewarding once you're done. So hang in there, because it'll be next week soon enough.
