The 21 Day Fix Extreme nutrition plan at first glance isn’t too different from the 21 Day Fix (aside from the inclusion of the Countdown to Competition meal plan option) and it’s nice because many of our favorite 21 DF recipes can also be eaten on the 21 DFX. HOWEVER, the big difference lies in that Autumn has removed all the “questionable” unclean, high fat, or high sodium items such as: crackers and cereals, turkey bacon, waffles, english muffins, deli meats, etc. I love this because I know that these foods are typically fairly highly processed and that cutting these foods out is what is needed to seriously dial in on your nutrition and crank up the shredding of your body! Another major difference is that this time, there are no treats or cheats and you will be eating 100% clean.
Nutrition Plan Options:
What I love about this program is it gives you options of different meal plans to follow. You can go REALLY extreme and follow the Countdown to Competition plan, or you can mix the regular Extreme plan with the Countdown to Competition, OR you can just do the regular Extreme meal plan. If you feel you aren’t getting results or you’ve reached a plateau with your weight loss, I would recommend following the Countdown to Competition plan. While it is restrictive and you may find it tough, it is only 21 days, so it IS doable!
Countdown to Competition plan:
This plan is tough and it certainly is not for everyone. It is very strict and it increases your protein intake while depleting your carbohydrates, designed to get you super cut and shredded. Carb depletion drops carbs in a controlled fashion so that you can still fuel your workouts while leaning out and adding definition to your muscles. You will have 2 days of “Competition” and then a regular “Extreme” day, which if you are familiar with the 21 Day Fix, it is very similar to what you can have with that plan. In my grocery list, the foods with the “+” symbol in front of them signify foods that Autumn eats on this plan and the “X” symbol signifies foods that she avoids.
Ways of using the containers:
- The Energy Balancer– Spread your eating across 3 meals with 2 snacks roughly 2-3 hours apart.
- The Fat Burner– Spread your eating across 6 meals, 2 hours apart, but make sure you have eaten all yellow and purple containers before 6 pm
- Autumn’s Competition Regimen– Spread your eating into 8 small meals (Countdown to Competition Plan)
The main point when it comes to the 21 DFX is there are NO CHEATS when it comes to your eating, but this will help you reach EXTREME results! I know how hard that last 10 lbs can be to lose or trying to unveil those abs under that bit of stubborn belly fat, but by dialing in on your nutrition you CAN ACHIEVE AMAZING RESULTS! This isn’t a forever meal plan.. Once you achieve the results you are wanting you can go into maintenance mode and enjoy the occasional treats and cheats! With the help and support of my groups to hold you accountable, you CAN get through this 21 days. That’s why Beachbody has coaches like myself who are here to help you. My job is to provide you support, guidance, tips, and accountability in this program from start to finish!
