21 Day Fix is truly awesome. I cannot say enough good things about it! I've been doing Fix myself for about a year, and I still think the Meal Guide is the very best meal guide I've ever seen! I do get quite a few questions from my awesome challengers, and I want to answer each of those questions here, in one spot. Because who doesn't like convenience?!

You can get great tips for Autumn herself on her YouTube Channel!

The question I get most often is "Can I eat this?" I have to tell you, it's really so simple. There are lists of foods in your Fix booklet. If it's on the list, yes, if it's not on the list, no. In general, follow this guideline...



But please remember that this is a lifestyle, we cannot possibly include every single food that you see in the supermarket. Use this as a general guideline, but remember that there are always exceptions and please ask your coach if you think you've found one! Try to look at the properties of the food, how many carbs are in there? Protein? Fat? What are the ingredients? Polenta for example, it's not on the list, but you found a clean version and you know it's mostly corn meal and you eat it like bread. Corn and bread are yellow. So you can reasonably assume that it's a yellow. There are certain foods that are considered "clean" that aren't going to be "Fix Approved." Autumn has included only the foods that are optimal for results.if you're looking to lose weight like hardcore, my advice is to follow the list to a T. But if you're looking for freedom to fit this into your lifestyle, by all means!  

If there is a food that you want to try, that isn't included, by all means! But just know that if it's not in the book, it's technically not Fix Approved. I advise all my challengers to complete one full round to a T to see what the program is designed to do for your body. If you want to get creative after that, please do! Just know that if it's not in the book, it's not going to be one of those "optimal results" foods. Capiche?

Question: "Do I have to eat all these containers?" Answer: Yes, you do. Weight loss is a science. Think of it like baking a cake. If one ingredient is off, you use baking soda instead of baking powder, guess what, flat cake. For optimal results, follow the plan. Even if you think that it's too much food, follow the plan. If you are going to get tricky and modify your calorie bracket, my advice is to make it balanced. Don't skip all your greens and enjoy all your yellows. Don't we wish?

Question: How do I count containers when I am making a recipe family style? Answer.


Question: When do I step on the scale? Answer: Day 1 and Day 21. Please stay off the scale during your 21 Days.
