It’s simple, it’s fast, and it works. If you're ready to get serious, 21 Day Fix can help you lose the weight.

Why is 21 Day Fix effective?

Because it’s so simple! You don’t have to count calories, points, or log your food into diet software. With 21 Day Fix, everything is laid out for you. All you have to do is use the specially designed portion-control containers and do one 30-minute workout per day. Commit to it for 21 days, and you’re going to love your results.

What makes 21 Day Fix unique?

It’s the only fitness and nutrition program that combines portion-control

containers and world-class workouts. By placing equal emphasis on fitness and

healthy portion control, 21 Day Fix can help anyone lose weight—and keep it

off—in a way that’s simple and sustainable. Whether you want to lose 10 pounds or 100 pounds, you can do it with this program. So she created short but effective workouts that take only 30 minutes a day, along with a simple eating plan that doesn't require you to spend hours in the kitchen.

Autumn Calabrese is your personal trainer:

Autumn Calabrese is a celebrity fitness trainer, busy mom, and national-level bikini competitor. She came up with the idea of a portion-control container system after watching a client eat an entire 1,300-calorie salad in one sitting because it was “healthy.” Autumn realized that super-sized portions were hurting her clients’ weight-loss success, because they were eating too much without knowing it. So she developed portion-control containers to help people see how simple it is to eat the right amounts and lose weight easily. And as a single mother, Autumn understands how hard it can be to fit exercise and healthy eating into a jam-packed schedule.


What's included in 21 Day Fix?

Essential Package:
• 7 color-coded portion-control containers
• Shakeology® shaker cup
• 6 easy-to-follow 30-minute workouts
• 21 Day Fix Start Here quickstart guide and workout calendar
• 21 Day Fix Eating Plan that shows you exactly what to do
• 3 Day Quick Fix Guide, Autumn's secret weapon for fast weight loss
• Dirty 30 bonus workout

What equipment is needed?

• Dumbbells or a resistance band are used in some workouts.
• A yoga mat and the Beachbody® miniMAT are helpful, but not required.

Do I have to do the workouts, or can I just follow the portion-control Eating Plan?

• Both the workouts and Eating Plan are essential to get the best results in 21 days.
• If you're worried about being out of shape, we suggest you follow the modifier and do what you can, rather than skipping the workouts entirely. You'll feel stronger in no time.

Can I use other containers I have at home?
• No, these are custom-designed for 21 Day Fix. Other containers may have the wrong  proportions and you will not be successful unless you follow the Eating Plan using  these containers.
• Very few (if any) other containers come in the variety of sizes needed for 21 Day Fix.

Can I eat out at restaurants when I do 21 Day Fix?
• Yes! The Eating Plan includes a restaurant guide that shows you how to practice portion control at your favorite restaurants.

What does it mean when you say "no off-limit foods"?
• The 21 Day Fix Eating Plan shows you how to incorporate treats (like chocolate and wine) into the plan . . . and you can still lose weight.

What makes the 21 Day Fix workouts so effective?
• 21 Day Fix takes all of the guesswork out of working out. You know which workout to do
 each day and can be confident you're working your whole body efficiently in just 30 minutes a day.
• The workouts yield consistent calorie-burning results, unlike a treadmill workout that can have very inconsistent and inaccurate calorie counts.
• The 30-minute boot-camp style workouts keep your heart rate up throughout, so you have an effective and efficient workout that burns maximum calories.
• There's a modifier in every workout to show you how to take down the intensity while still getting awesome results.
• Trainer Autumn Calabrese created a 7-day-a-week schedule to give you the best results in just 21 days. Each day of the week is a different workout, all perfectly designed to avoid over training and keep you injury-free.

3 Day Refresh Review + Before & After

3 Day Refresh Review + Before & After

So you might have seen some buzz around Instagram and Facebook about the 3 Day Refresh. It’s a Beachbody nutrition program that is 3 days long and filled with protein shakes, fiber drinks, fruits, veggies, and healthy fats. People have used it to jump start a healthy eating and fitness routine, get back on the wagon after falling off track for a little bit (ME!), and/or to slim down for an upcoming event.

Coming off of a camping trip weekend at the Lake where I pretty much only ate carbs and chips and dip (and lots of other junk) and yes, Brownies and drank soft drinks, I was in desperate need of a detox. I had way too many YOLO meals and was feeling super bloated because of it — when you don’t get to vacation that often, you go all out!  Needless to say, when I got home and back to reality, the 3 Day Refresh was seriously calling my name! In doing the detox I wasn’t looking to lose a significant amount of weight, just get rid of all the bloat and lean out a bit — AKA I wanted to be able to feel good again!

I went from 118lbs to 113 lbs...

While I may have cheated a little bit on the 21 Day Fix (life happens!), I didn’t cheat while doing the 3 Day Refresh. I mean, it’s only 3 days… you can’t cheat when it’s ONLY 3 days!

One reason I decided to do the 3 Day Refresh instead of a juice cleanse, is that I’ve tried all juice cleanses before and only lasted 2 days because I missed the act of chomping down on something (not to mention the green juices are –blaaaaahhhhhh — disgusting). And I knew I was still getting the nutrients and protein I needed throughout the 3 days because of the jam-packed awesomeness that is in Shakeology. And the fact that you can eat real, whole foods doesn’t make it feel like a traditional cleanse or detox. Okay – let’s get into my nitty gritty 3 Day Refresh review…

It consists of 5 meals a day: breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, and dinner. The package comes with the Shakeology, Vanilla protein shakes and Fiber drinks for each day, and you get to choose your fruits, veggies and healthy fats! I love having options  The Fiber Sweep is a combination of blended psyllium husk, chia seeds and flax, that thickens when you add water, so it’s important to drink it right away. If you’re curious about the ingredients in the Vanilla protein shakes and the Fiber Sweep, check out the full Supplement Info. While it’s not recommended to drink coffee during the 3 days, you can have tea throughout the day, should you find yourself having mini caffeine headaches (I definitely did!). You will also be drinking LOTS of water over the course of these 3 days (though you should always be drinking half your body weight in ounces of water a day!).

I will say that Day 1 was tough. I mean, really tough. I think the two days before I started the 3 Day Refresh I was only eating carbs. Pure carbs. All day. So on Day 1 I was going through carb and caffeine withdrawal. I was exhausted and had headaches throughout the entire day. So I highly recommend winging yourself off carbs and caffeine at least two days before you start. But fast forward to Days 2 and 3 and I was feeling great. No headaches and no lack of energy! I kept my workouts to a minimum (walking and my 10 minute ab workouts) so that I wouldn’t require more energy from calories (that I couldn’t have!) throughout the day.

So what exactly do the 5 meals look like?

Breakfast: 

Shakeology + fruit

Mid-Morning Snack: 

Fiber sweep (tastes like the milk at the bottom of a bowl of Fruit Loops hehe) But drink it fast!

Lunch: 

Vanilla protein shake + fruit + veggie + healthy fat

Mid-Afternoon Snack: 

Veggie + healthy fat

Dinner: 

Vanilla protein shake + one of the provided veggie-based dinner recipes

They provide you with a nutrition guide that lists out many many options for your fruits, veggies and healthy fats. I chose options that were crunchy, so I would not feel like I was only eating and drinking mushy foods and liquids. Apples, grapes, carrots, cucumbers and hummus were some of my go-to foods.

Shakeology

I’ve been drinking Shakeology on the reg since I did the 21 Day Fix. I was skeptical at first, but now I drink it for breakfast every day and definitely feel healthier and I have more energy because of it. I have better skin, my hair grows faster and is shinier and my eyes are brighter — like everyone always says, if you feel good on the inside, it’ll show on the outside.

Shakeology is PACKED with super foods (see the list of ingredients here), minerals and protein that your body needs to stay energized and refueled after a workout. And the fact that it tastes amazing doesn’t hurt!

Chocolate is really rich. I would blend it with ice, a splash of almond milk and some coffee for an at home frappuccino… or blend it with a banana, nut butter and some ice for a sweet tooth craving fix.

Vanilla is a great flavor to mix with just about anything. It’s not too sweet and still tastes like a vanilla milkshake.

And last but not least, strawberry. Strawberry is by far my favorite. You open a packet and I’m immediately reminded of my childhood… Strawberry Nesquik and Quaker Strawberries n Cream Oatmeal. YUM. My favorite way to eat Strawberry while on the 21 Day Fix was to blend it with frozen berries and a splash of unsweetened vanilla almond milk. It tasted just like a berry-delicious smoothie but I knew it was packed with much more nutrients and minerals than just a standard fruit smoothie.

So what’s the cost?

The 3 Day Refresh is only $30 when you purchase it with a 30 day supply of Shakeology.   

Say whaaat??? Yep! CRAZY DEAL! You save a whopping $40!!

“But why do I need a 30 day supply of Shakeology if the Refresh is only 3 days?” you might be asking… Well! Because Shakeology is what you’re drinking while doing the Refresh, it’s a great way to see continued results once the 3 days are over! I drink it every day and love how much energy I have from drinking it and how I no longer have to take vitamins or supplements. Plus, it’s sooo delicious and filling!

Interested?

If you’re interested in trying out the 3 Day Refresh, I highly recommend it and I would love to guide you along the way! I always find these things are easier to complete when you have the support of someone who has already gone through it. What’s even more exciting is that starting September 2nd, I will be hosting a 3 Day Refresh & 2 Day Jump Start Challenge Group via Facebook that involves the 3 Day Refresh! It’s a great way to keep yourself accountable, meet motivated and encouraging people, and gain useful information and tips and tricks. I will be posting recipes, providing nutrition guides, meal prepping and meal planning documents, and maybe even giving away some prizes along the way!  I would LOVE for YOU to be a part of it!

The Benefits of Coconut Oil and It's Uses

By Matthew Kadey, R.D.

coconut-oil-700.jpg

ThinkStock

Once castigated for its generous saturated fat content, coconut oil has been given a second life as a (gasp!) healthy fat. And while drinking it by the tablespoon still isn't a great idea, you definitely should consider adding the oil to your diet.

Yes, coconut oil is almost 90 percent saturated fat, but not all sat fats are created equal. “The saturated fat in coconut oil is mostly lauric acid, a medium-chain saturated fatty acid that appears to have a more neutral effect on heart health when compared to longer-chain saturated fats found in meats and dairy products,” says Wendy Bazilian, R.D., author of The SuperFoodsRx Diet.

This makes sense considering citizens of nations that consume prodigious amounts of coconut products, such as Sri Lanka, have lower rates of heart disease than Americans. Some research even suggests that coconut oil can paradoxically improve cholesterol numbers by revving up enzymes in the body that breakdown fats.

Bazilian adds that medium-chain fats are metabolized more easily into energy in the liver, meaning they may be less likely to be stored as extra padding on your thighs if you keep your overall calories in check. “Up to 1 to 2 tablespoons of coconut oil a day, depending on individual calorie needs, can be a healthy and tasty addition to your diet when replacing other less-healthy calories,” Bazilian says. “But don’t believe the hype that simply adding coconut oil to your diet can help you shed a bunch of body fat.”

More proof that coconut oil is a worthwhile addition to your pantry: Lauric acid appears to have antibacterial properties, and studies show that the tropical oil (particularly the virgin varieties) contains a bounty of antioxidants that may help knock out those pesky cell-damaging free radicals that are thought to accelerate aging and disease. Topically, coconut oil is also a great skin moisturizer.

How to Choose a Coconut Oil
Coconut oil that is labelled “virgin” or “extra virgin” is extracted from coconut meat using delicate methods such as cold-pressing. “This type of oil will have more antioxidants as well as a stronger coconut flavor and aroma,” Bazilian says. Perfect for a batch of brownies or a fragrant curry.

Not ready to go loco for coco flavor? Try refined coconut oil (sometimes labelled “expeller-pressed”), which is further processed to have a more neutral taste and scent. Refined coconut oil also has a higher smoke point than virgin, so Bazilian says you can use it for higher-heat cooking such as stir-frying or when you are making dishes like scrambled eggs and don’t want it to taste like a beach vacation. But she recommends researching brands online to find ones that avoid using harsh chemicals to refine their coconut oil.

Both cold-pressed and expeller-pressed versions have a long shelf life (about 2 years without refrigeration), meaning there is less worry about coconut oil going rancid than there is about more delicate oils such as flax or extra-virgin olive oil.

The Best Ways to Cook with Coconut Oil 
Coconut oil has a variety of uses in the kitchen. Add a tropical flare to these six foods.

1. Baked goods: Because it tolerates high temperatures, coconut oil is a notable substitute for butter, shortening, or other vegetable oils in Paleo-worthy baked good recipes. Scones, cupcakes, muffins, brownies, and cookies will have a lightness that you just can’t get with butter.

Since it’s solid at room temperature, coconut oil needs to be melted before use in most baking. To do so, simply place the jar in a bowl or pan with very hot water and let sit for a few minutes. If mixing it with any cold ingredients, be sure to stir the oil in quickly so that it doesn’t solidify and make clumps. In its solid form, coconut oil works brilliantly as a dairy-free option in recipes where you cut solid butter or shortening into dry ingredients, such as with pie crusts.

Generally you can substitute coconut oil one-for-one with butter or other oils in baking recipes, although you may want to add an extra dash or two of any liquid your recipe calls for to compensate for the extra moisture that butter lends to baked goods. You can also substitute half the butter for coconut oil to limit any coconut flavor. (No need to adjust anything else in this case.)   

2. Granola: Embrace your inner hippie and bake up batches of homemade granola using coconut oil, which lends an irresistible aroma to your oats and nuts. While some vegetable and nut oils oxidize at high temperatures, resulting in “off” flavors and potentially fewer health benefits, coconut oil can stand the blast furnace that is your oven unscathed.

3. Roasted vegetables: The next time you’re roasting a batch of hearty winter vegetables such as butternut squash, sweet potatoes, beets, or rutabaga, try tossing them with a mixture of coconut oil, lemon juice, thyme or rosemary, salt, and pepper for an appealing hint of coconut.

4. Popcorn: Those kernels pop so beautifully when dropped into a pan with a spoonful of coconut oil, this fat may just be the best thing to happen to popcorn since the microwave.

5. Nut butters: Break out the food processor and grind together 2 cups nuts such as almonds, pecans, or cashews with 2 tablespoons coconut oil until smooth and buttery. Since you can customize each batch by adding honey, maple syrup, cinnamon, flax seed, or even ground coffee, you may just never buy peanut butter again.

6. Mayo: If a season of Top Chef has you itching to embrace your inner Julia Child, try whirling up your own mayonnaise. But for a twist, pour in half olive oil and half melted coconut oil.

Clean Eating 101: The Basics

What is clean eating? How much do I eat each day? Are corn and potatoes vegetables? What are complex carbs? These are just some of the questions I get when I talk to people about clean eating. Today it is my hope to clear the air and get some of these questions and misconceptions cleared up for you.

How it works:

 It's simple, follow the eat clean principles....that's it....just follow the rules :)

What to do:

Here are the "rules" to clean eating.

• Eat more- eat six small meals each day.
• Eat breakfast every day, within an hour of rising.
• Eat a combination of lean protein and complex carbs at each meal
• Eat sufficient (two to three servings) healthy fats every day.
• Carry a cooler packed with clean foods each day.
• Depend on fresh fruits and vegetables for fiber, vitamins, nutrients and enzymes.
• Adhere to proper portion sizes. 

What are "proper portion sizes"?

JUST SAY NO!!! Try to avoid the following list of foods

• Avoid all over-processed foods, particularly white flour and sugar.
• Avoid all chemically charge foods.
• Avoid foods containing preservatives.
• Avoid artificial sugars.
• Avoid artificial foods such as processed cheese slices.
• Avoid saturated and trans fats.
• Avoid sugar loaded beverages, including colas and juices.
• Avoid or do your best to limit alcohol intake.
• Avoid all calorie dense foods containing little or no nutritional value. I call these anti-foods.
• Avoid super sizing your meals.

What CAN I eat???? Great question!!! Here are some examples :)


Lean Protein:
6 portions each day.  A portion is:

 

• 1 cup or handful of dairy products such as low fat soy, almond, hemp, rice, or skim milk, cottage cheese, kefir, yogurt cheese or plain fat free sugar free yogurt.
• 1 scant handful of raw, unsalted nuts (also a healthy fat)
• 2 tablespoons of all natural nut butters such as almond or peanut butter (also a healthy fat).
• 1 palm sized portion of lean meats such as chicken, turkey, fish
• good quality, sugar- and chemical- free protein powder (hemp, soy or whey).

Complex Carbohydrates from Fruit and Vegetables:

6 portions each day.  A portion is:

• 1 cupped handful or a piece of fruit such as berries, grapefruit, melon, apples and mangoes.
• 2 cupped handfuls of vegetables including broth based/vegetable puree soups.

Complex Carbohydrates from whole grains and starchy carbohydrates: 

2-4 portions each day.  A portion is:

• 1 scant handful of high-protein, sugar-free cold cereals, such as clean muesli or granola.
• 1 cup of cooked cereal such as oatmeal
• 1 piece of whole grain bread or wrap (Sante Fe tortilla wraps from Costco are a great option)
• 1 handful sized serving of sweet potato, yam, banana, corn, carrots or squash

Beverages:

• 2-3 liters per day of fresh water with no sodium
• Clear herbal tea (unsweetened)
• Black coffee in moderation
• Green/Black tea

Sweeteners:  Use in moderation.  Avoid Artificial Sweeteners.

• Agave Nectar 
• Maple Sugar Flakes
• Rapadura Suga

If you would like even more support please ASK ME and I'd be glad to provide you with daily motivation and support to help you accomplish your health and weight loss goals!  I have lost 30 lbs to date with clean eating and regular exercise.  No starvation just healthy whole meals.

Happy Clean Eating!!
