21 day fix extreme yoga full#
The Shakeology did a great job keeping me full until lunch time, especially with the added protein. For the second week of the program, I added some pea protein to my morning shake, and in the third week I used hemp protein. Since vegan protein options are restricted for the 21-Day Fix Extreme, I used two different types of plant-based protein powders to help me get my 4 red containers. I got one fruit serving in during breakfast by adding 1/2 banana to the Shakeology. This is something that I have for breakfast every day anyway however, I had to make it with water rather than almond/coconut milk, which is what I usually use. Luckily for me, I like both.īreakfast: For breakfast every day, I had chocolate vegan Shakeology (1 red). On the 21-Day Fix Extreme, the only vegan protein options are tofu and tempeh (and some powders). In order to make the program even HARDER, you’ll never guess what I did.
What did you eat on the 21-Day Fix Extreme?īased on a simple calculation based on my weight, age, and other factors, I could have the following each day:
Promotional Materials: 21-Day Fix Extreme Here is a short video on the 21-Day Fix Extreme. You spread out the containers throughout the course of the day as you like. You do a simple equation to figure out how many of each container you can eat in one day. For example, red is for protein, and green is for vegetables. Each container corresponds to a different type of food group. No excuses. The program comes with a set of color-coded containers. The workouts feature a unique blend of steady-state aerobics, resistance training, and explosive power moves that target every muscle in the body-to help you get shredded fast.ĭiet: For your nutrition, you practice portion control and eat ONLY clean foods (unlike the original 21-Day Fix, which allows its participants the occasional chocolate or glass of wine). The 21-Day Fix Extreme is a diet and exercise program.Įxercise: You get seven “extreme” 30-minute workouts, one for each day of the week- so your mind never gets bored, and your body never adapts. Why? After doing the super-intense Reset, I figured I could do this Fix for 21 days (I can really do anything for 21 days!), it was super cold outside (so bar/restaurant-hopping is less appealing), and I really wanted to see what would happen to me if I really dialed in my nutrition AND exercised according to the program for 21 days. That program was wonderful, but I wanted to try something different this year. During the Reset, you are mostly eating vegan and you’re encouraged NOT to exercise, since your body needs to focus on detoxing rather than repairing muscle. It helped me bust through a weight-loss plateau and really helped transform my perspective on what I put in my body. Last year, I did the 21-day inner body tune up known as the Beachbody Ultimate Reset. Now, I’m no stranger to diet and exercise programs. So what happens when the weekend splurging ends? What happens when bottomless mimosa brunches get replaced with a strict 21-day regimen of carefully calculated meals? What happens when this city dweller, who thrives on trying new restaurants and cocktails, gasp! goes on a diet? Specifically, I’m talking about the 21-Day Fix Extreme. Going all out on the weekends definitely keeps the week in perspective and gives me a great outlet on Friday evening. It helps me focus, get better sleep, and feel happier, which all helps with the 9-to-5 universe. Luckily, I’ve learned to confine that type of diet almost exclusively to the weekends, and now I focus on being a 100% clean-eating vegan during the week.
Give me foie gras, fondue, charcuterie, and any other French word that sounds like a heart attack on a plate, and I’ll wash it down with a martini, Malbec, and Amaro. My favorite kinds of meals are found at fancy restaurants, where I can order a prix fixe menu with multiple courses and wine or cocktail pairings carefully curated to each of the courses. Anyone who knows me knows that I love my calories.
