I am a bit of a skeptic. At first I saw those tiny containers, and I thought, I'm going to be starving! Plus, I already eat healthy could it even make a difference for me?!
I kept seeing a ton of pictures showcasing some awesome results in women and men's bodies. So due to my nosey personality, burning curiousity, and recent lack of discipline, I figured I had to try it out. Check out the spec's below on this Beach Body Program and see if it could be your fix!
1. Autumn Calabrese is your personal trainer, she is well
known in the fitness world as a bikini competitor.
She is also a single mom, so what's that tell ya?
She's busy, and she knows how to get fit quick! She combined an easy to follow portion control system and world class 30-minute workouts for 21 days straight to start your weight loss off with a bang or make you break thru that annoying plateau!

2. Let's talk diet, in my opinion a huge benefit to this program! There are lists of MANY whole foods you can eat, what to avoid and even some cheats for you to have. Also included in the booklet are recipes (or you can use your own), a basic meal guide to follow if you don't want to create your own, a plan to show you how to calculate your caloric intake based upon your current stats, and a three day quick fix to get you started!
To be clear, there really is no “diet” here in the program. The meal guide uses a color coded system of containers and a Shakeology Shaker Cup to give you perfect portion control every meal, with zero mistakes based upon your caloric intake (which is different for everyone). Most of us have no clue what the correct portion size is when we are preparing a meal, and when we eat out it's generally a portion size for two or sometimes three! Here there is no counting calories, just including the right amount of containers for your day.
3. About those workouts! They are challenging and different every day. Don't worry they are not insane like some other programs, but burn maximum calories for any fitness level, and involve full body exercises with weights or bands. Don't stress if you are just starting out, there are easy to follow modifications for beginners! There are a total of 6 workouts plus one bonus workout on two dvd's that you will rotate according to your calendar.
My favorite aspects about this workout:
- I don't over eat and I'm not left hungry! I fill my container every meal/snack and put it on my plate, or pack it up when making my to go bag. Inbetween programs, I am STILL concious of my portion sizes!
- I learned to incorporate more veggies in my meals, and still do to this day!
- If I am having a craving, there is options for a cheat, and recipes too!
- Workouts aren't too long, and Autumn is motivating without being annoying.
- If I had a rough week and want to enjoy a glass of wine, there's a way to have that.
- If I HAVE to eat out, there is a guide to follow for those occasions.
- I could plan my weeks meal plan ahead of time, and prep many foods in one day that I could quickly combine for my meals throughout the week = time saver!!
I completed two workouts a week. At the time I was recovering from injuries and that was my limit. I still experienced results in my body in a short amount of time! I felt more energetic, less bloated and stronger.
I may not have needed to lose a lot of weight, but I needed to make healthier choices so I didn't gain weight and would feel more energized. I love this program and will be doing more rounds of it!
If you are short on time for workouts, need direction on what you should be eating for weightloss, and want to learn portion control, this is a great fit for you!
