21 Day Fix Program

So, you may be asking, "How does this program really work?"
 It works by a series of containers that you fill daily for your allowed calorie range per day. For me I am in the range of 1200 to 1500 calories per day and if I have a really high caloric workout I bump it up to 1800 calories per day. That is a lot of food, but none the less, I keep it healthy! This gives me 3 green(veggies-broccoli, asparagus, lettuce, carrots, onions), 2 purple (fruits- grapes, raspberries, strawberries apple), 4 red (protein- chicken, turkey breast, fish, tuna, shakeology, eggs, lean red meat), 2 yellow (starchy carbs- rice, sweet potato) you can also substitute the yellow container for a dessert that is listed on the meal plan , 1 blue (nuts, avocado, hummus, feta cheese) and 1 orange (dressings- nut butters and olive oil).

Each container is broken down in the manual with a list of foods that you can eat. I easily pick from the list to plan my meals and snacks and create a meal plan for the week. The foods are listed in order of importance. So the higher on the list the foods are the more nutritionally sound they are. I do not eat out of the containers but I prepare the food in them and then pour it on to my plate. I am always surprised at how much food there is to eat and it is all super HEALTHY AND NUTRITOUS WHOLE FOODS!
You are allowed to drink milk, soy milk or almond milk but you have to substitute  out a yellow container and you are only allowed 3times a week. I usually use almond milk in my shakes and so this the 3 times a week allowed and the rest of the time I just use water to mix it with. I always use fresh fruit, lemons to infuse into my water to make it taste yummy and to not be so boring. You must be drinking a ton of water each day because you are sweating so much out during your workouts. It is recommended that you drink 1/2 your body weight in water each day. So at 120 lbs I must drink 60 oz of water each day. I use a 32 oz water bottle and make sure I fill it up twice every day. This way I know I am getting enough water. During an Asylum workout which I am currently doing now, I have no problem drinking the entire 32oz during my workout.
How does Shakeology fit into the 21 day fix program?
It is counted as a RED container which is a protein. I generally use this as my breakfast or as my first snack of the day after my workout!

Team beachbody provides you with a great tracking worksheet to make this easy for you to follow. It allows you to put your container allowance at the top and you can tally each meal of the day and check what you have! This gives you a great visual to follow. I swear by it and I like to see things in front of me and I am a big fan of crossing things off my list and when I exercise and eat, I know that I can cross off what I had to keep me accountable for what I am putting in my body.
