21-Day Fix ... What's it all about?!

I've been getting a lot of questions this week about my Facebook posts about the 21-Day Fix

I want to share more with you because it REALLY works! Why does it really work? Well, because it has a combination of workout AND nutrition support. Personally, I love this program because it teaches/reminds me about portion control....what to eat and how much to eat. I need this reminder every now and again!!!

Soooo, here's the scoop:

1. Containers are provided so you know how much to eat ... so much better than using a million measuring cups or counting calories.


2. Here's what you can eat...
