This week I puréed them, along with carrots and cauliflower into a super yummy soup from the #cneprogram. Stable blood sugar for the win! Plus they taste amazing too. Although they have higher sugar content, they’re lower on the glycemic index than regular potatoes. ✨Sweet Potatoes ✨ are a fabulous source of vitamin A, B6, and are high in carotenoids. Heck, I’m not even a fan of 1200 calories in general. TBK’s Pro Tip: NEVER go below 1200 calories. Your number may seem high if you’re used to doing low-calorie diets, but trust the science here! Food and calories are fuel for your body. If you want to maintain, your target will be 2050. This means your calorie goal to lose weight is 1300. Then add 400 (this is how much you need to maintain with the workouts) and minus 750 for weight loss. If your current body weight is 150, multiply that by 11. Then, add 400 to your baseline calories to equal your daily caloric needs. Take your current body weight in pounds and multiply that number by 11 to calculate your baseline calories. This is the equation to use if you’re looking to lose weight on the program:

Here are some tips on how to drink more water. One of the biggest issues with weight loss, especially in women, is lack of hydration. You’re going to want to see the progress you’ve made after the three weeks is up! You can even sneak in a mid-program weigh-in if you want, but don’t weigh or measure daily because it’ll just drive you crazy. Weigh and measure yourself before starting the 21 Day Fix program. Although I don’t follow the container guides anymore, this was a great way to learn about nutrition and I found the program packed with value. You can see both my 21 Day Fix results and my 21 Day Fix Extreme results. To be clear this was from a few years ago now when the program first came out, but results speak for themselves. The 21 Day Fix program is a game changer. I personally follow the program on BOD ( read my Beachbody on Demand review here) but you can also purchase the program in DVD format. This guide on how to get started with the 21 Day Fix is a long one so settle in with a coffee or tea and get ready for some knowledge!ĭisclosure: This post contains affiliate links.
