The Diet Plan and Food
So where is the balance? Beach Body’s 21 Day Fix weight loss calendar offers an easy-to-follow system that makes eating well simple! And let's face it, simplicity is the key to sticking with a health regimen.
With the 21 Day Fix Workout Schedule, you will receive the 21 day fix color-coded containers each designated for a particular type of food.
Containers:
- Purple - fruits
- Green – veggies
- Red - protein
- Orange – seeds & dressings
- Yellow - carbs
- Blue – healthy fats
- Shaker cup
Each container is sized to contain the appropriate amount of that food. As long as you can fit it in the container, you can eat it. Keep in mind that you should include all of the colors in each of your meals. Meals must be well-balanced in addition to containing the correct amounts.
You should also include different items each day. For example, don't eat blueberries every day of the week. Maybe switch off between blueberries and raspberries. Same with protein, maybe one day you choose chicken, the next egg, the next steak. Variety is good for your body in both nutrition and exercise.
Keto Desserts to Lose Weight
This goes great with trying to lose weight with any of the beachbody.com programs. I love this cookbook and it's super easy to make desserts I can love but yet lose weight and they are seriously low in sugar and carbs. My favorite is the chocolate chip cookies. :_)

The 21 Day Fix Training Plan
Beachbody has done a fantastic job in all of its programs like t25 (Shaun-T), p90x3 (Tony Horton), PiYo (Chalene) or Bodybeast (Sagi Kalev ) by creating diverse and enjoyable exercise routines. The 21 Day Fix Workout Schedule is no different. In addition to creating nutrient rich, 
satisfying meals using the colored containers, you will do a 30-minute workout per day with one day of rest.
6 30-minute dvd sessions:
- Total Body Cardio Fix
- Upper Fix
- Lower Fix
- Pilates Fix
- Cardio Fix
- Yoga Fix
The cardio workouts will increase your heart health and slow your resting heart rate, basically allowing your body to maintain itself with less effort.
These workouts will also rev up your metabolism and help burn calories even when you are inactive. This is important for digestion, burning calories, and feeding muscles while diminishing fat stores.
The Upper Fix is a resistance workout designed to tone and shape your chest, back, shoulders, arms, and abs. The Lower Fix aims to tone the lower body while blasting fat and burning calories. The Pilates Fix utilizes the traditional Pilates practices to strengthen the core, increase flexibility, elongate the muscles, and firm up the hips and thighs. The Yoga Fix utilizes traditional Yoga poses and practices to improve balance and flexibility while relaxing the mind and muscles. If you really are into yoga you can read the differences of PiYo Vs 21 Day Fix to see which would be more appropriate for you.
Make sure that, before you begin, you take a "before picture". Sending in your before and after pictures once you complete the 21 days will get you a free t-shirt!
If you want more detail on the 21 day fix programs you have two options. Option 1 is to read 21 day fix workout review I wrote or jump over to beachbody to learn more.
We need to burn more calories than we are taking in!
We don’t want extra. The opposite side of the coin is not eating enough. This poses a couple of problems: the first being that hunger makes us crazy and it is more likely that we will cave and eat a ton of something we shouldn’t rather than ride out the hunger pains.
And the second is that when the body is not getting enough nutrients and energy sources it goes into survival mode.
Survival mode unfortunately, includes packing on fat. The body thinks it’s dying and will do what it needs to do to keep you alive. Fat is an insulator and an energy source, so, in the case of survival, fat is vital. But we don't want fat! We want lean, strong muscles.
Tired of counting calories? Never learned how? Feel like professionals are constantly changing diet and exercise suggestions? Well, Beachbody has developed a genius meal plan to keep you moving and eating in exactly the right portion sizes - the 21-Day Fix Workout Schedule which is also available on Beachbody On Demand Online workout program.
The truth is that you can’t out-exercise a bad diet. It doesn't matter how often or how much you exercise if you hold on to a poor diet. Think about it this way: Michelangelo could have spent years sculpting David, but if he had been working with peanut butter instead of marble he would not have ended up with the beautiful masterpiece that we famously know of as David.
Likewise, we cannot sculpt our bodies into beautiful masterpieces if we’re working with dollar menu McDoubles and mac & cheese.
In addition to the quality of the material to be sculpted, the quantity is also vitally important. If we consume too much, even of a good food, the caloric intake will outweigh the caloric expenditure and weight will be gained. Basically, if the body is consuming more calories than it is using, there’s extra.
When do we do the Plyo Fix?? I don't see it on the schedule?
How do I get the free workout schedule
Is there a workout schedule for 5 day week? Mon-Fri? weekends off?
yes you can adjust it how you see fit for your own busy schedule.
I bought the system dvds and food things but I travel and dont have a dvd player with me can I access the videos on line.
The only way to get them online is to join the beachbody on demand program in which case you can get almost all the beachbody programs. What I do is go through the workout at home once and write it down in excel. Then I end up doing it at work in our gym at lunch. You could do the same.
That's a good idea Eric!! I was thinking the same thing as Gene. I could take your suggestion and do my workouts on my break at work. Then I don't even need a computer or TV!! Thanks for the tip!!
I ca not find my DVD's. Can I get just the dvd's replaced?
I don't have a DVD player. Are the workout videos available in an online downloadable format, for Roku users?
Hey Angie you are in luck. Beachbody has an online demand feature you can stream workouts online. You can the see the page here to see if it will work with your Roku.
love the program
Yeah it’s a great program. Do you have a favorite dvd workout yet?
Thank you for posting this. My kids moved my schedule and I was at a loss for what I was supposed to do today! Michelle
