So on week one, you might not even use weights, but by week 3, you’re not only using weights, but you’re jumping with them as well. In the Real Time version, each workout is different and it gets progressively harder as you become more fit. The difference is that the original version is just 7 recorded workouts that you do over and over again for 3 weeks. In fact, many of the moves are exactly the same. When it comes to the workout, very little is different. What’s the Difference Between 21 Day Fix Extreme and 21 Day Fix Extreme Real Time? Of course! I have done about 4 rounds of the program at this point - both the original 21 Day Fix extreme, and the new “real time” version that was filmed in 2018. Also, the after shot was taken 2 weeks after I finished the program. I hate to say it, but you will not get results from working out without changing your diet, especially in a 3 week period. While you can see a difference in bloating and a change in definition, I want to be clear that this was not won through exercise alone. This is my after, taken 5 weeks later (and yes - I'm sucking in my stomach, but you can't suck in those hips!). I was mostly bloated, but I definitely had some fat to lose. Okay y'all, the before is never pretty - but here’s my starting point. For those of us who are more spontaneous and less organized, it’s a much better plan ?

You don’t have to do it! The workout will still deliver amazing results as long as you are eating clean, and not overeating. Keep in mind that it’s not an exact science - it’s a guideline for understanding portion control.īTW, if you hate the idea of this meal plan, that’s totally fine. It’s important not to get too maniacal about the containers. In doing so, I was able to consume more food and when I wanted a glass of wine, I just counted it as a yellow container and moved on. As I mentioned, I tweaked the plan to accommodate my low carb lifestyle by reducing my yellow containers (carbs) and increasing my green containers (veggies) and blue containers (fats). One thing I don’t love about the meal plan is that the calories are slightly lower than I like. It’s free, it has a list of approved foods, and will tell you exactly how many containers you should be eating for your body size. Quick tip - 21 Day Fix has a meal tracking app that’s super helpful (just search for it in the app store). I wasn’t perfect at the meal planning, but I got it done (in my own way). I’m not someone who loves to meal prep, so taking the time to measure food before I eat it was definitely out of my comfort zone. This can be challenging for anyone who doesn’t do well with a lot of structure because the 21 Day Fix meal plan is based on a portion control container system.
