30 Days to Mindful Eating

>>>You can't out work (as in work-out) a bad diet. <<<


Whether or not you are into fitness, it's hard to deny that what you eat MATTERS. 
It wasn't until I started on my own health journey that I soon realized most of my tiredness, depressive thoughts, bloat, headaches, acne, brittle nails, weight gain, dull hair, achy joints, etc all had to do with what I was putting into my body. (😲)
You've heard it before...abs are made in the kitchen. But so is your overall health & wellness y'all.
If you struggled to beat the plateau or to get a hold of your anxiety when it comes to food, let's take a step back and just focus on the food (letting the fitness part be optional for now)
Let me help you create habit of healthy eating that will increase your energy and give you a solid routine for prepping your food.

And before you know it, you will actually feel like you wanna workout and move your body. You'll have the time and energy to make it happen because of your newly established eating habits!!

Not sure if you're ready to FULLY focus on your NUTRITION?
I get ya. I was once in your shoes, trying to justify everything I ate and used the new mom excuse to justify my lack of self care.
BUT...what you put in your body matters.
>>It matters to your energy.<<
>>It matters to your confidence.<<
>>It matters to your family.<<

>>It matters to your focus & productivity.<<

>> It matters to your transformation.<<

And sometimes you just need support and community to make the commitment.


That's why my groups are so powerful, month after month. The support and community is what makes my clients so successful in learning a new lifestyle - a new way of looking at food and 'dieting'.

And we won't just talk about what to eat or when to eat, we talk about how to choose food --- being mindful about what you put in your mouth.
This isn't just about eating salads. Oh honey, HECK no. 
What about tacos, cupcakes, pies, ice-cream, pizza. Yes, this is about breaking down the barriers and bad rap we give the "bad" foods.

Ya, pizza, nachos and tacos are a staple in our house let's just get that out in the open right now.

Last year I learned this new way of thinking and it totally changed my relationship with food. So I want to help you to do the same!  
I'll teach you to adjust your words and beliefs around those 'treat' foods.
Here's some examples of old vs new mindsets you can expect:

Over the last couple years I started to take clients on and teach them what I have learned and how I am making the best out of this life. It wasn't until recently that I decided to really start mentoring 1:1 10 new ladies each month to get them fully set for success and on the right track! So here is what I am starting:
Every month, I will choose a handful of women who I will take under my wing. I will support you, teach you, and give you the tools you need to make this a lifestyle for the long haul! We create an intimate community where we lean on each other and lift each other up as we journey together!  
But don't just take my word for it...take a peek at what my other clients have experienced:
"Kristie is one in a million! She has been there through every stepping stone with me! She gives some tough love every now and then when you need it! She always supports you 100%! When you’re down, and need someone to help you, she’s absolutely the person to turn too! The other day, she posted something about excuses.. and I was that girl, I was the one who had said it all.. and almost ready to give up.. but then I also remembered a good friend of mine saying to me, that she would never Give up on me.. so made me realize that I just need to dig deeper... she did that for me.. she made this all possible, and for her I will be forever grateful. She has literally helped turn my life around and for that I can’t thank her enough <3"
--Crystal B.
Are you looking for results? Support? Someone to keep you accountable? Someone to cheer you on? Someone who cares about your ENTIRE health? Look no further than Kristie and her fitfam. You won't regret it! I feel like a new person! I've lost weight, inches, and I feel happier and more confident! Loving my journey with Kristie!
--Laura L.
"’m turning 60 this year. For most of my life I struggled with my weight, I did many diets, all failures. Then I joined Kristie’s 80 day obsession group last May. It was life changing for me, I lost 30 lbs and just over 30 inches. I still do Kristie’s groups and I still keep working hard and toning up. The nutrition programs are great, they played a big part in my journey. I’m very happy with my success, but I’m not stopping now."

Food Restriction:
Lose weight — happily — without feeling deprived or hungry, without counting calories, or cutting out whole food groups because our bodies NEED nutrients from EVERY food group to thrive.


**Please do not apply if you are not ready to commit to yourself. This will take effort and there will be days of struggle.  That's why it's so important to have a mentor (me) and a supportive environment to thrive in! Plus, your body, mind and spirit will thank you for the love and self-care it's been craving!**


I am 150% committed to the women I work with, and I expect nothing less in return !


If you haven’t had success in the past it’s cause you haven’t done THIS yet with me! xox


I am super excited to be along side this journey with you and help you change your life...

#EatToNourish Not Starve

#EatToNourish Not Starve

Back in 2015 when I was at my all time low in life, 6 months postpartum with my first born and thinking that I was failing at being a mom,wife, friend, basically failing at life, I finally reached out to a friend who seemed to have it all together and literally it changed my life. It was like the equivalent of my ‘wellness rebirth! That’s when I was introduced to Autumn Calabrese, the Portion Fix plan and her new program, 21 Day Fix. When my friend first suggested it though, I remember thinking "ugh just another "diet on the FAD wagon that will deprive me of all the things I love and once I stop I'll just go back to "me again"" But BOY, was I wrong about that one... 
Let me explain…
Before those little color-coded portion control containers, I was basically clueless when it came to nutrition, hell, I was clueless about everything and HATED working out! 
Starting with this program not only made me see that I could, in fact, enjoy the foods I loved but in moderation and fitness wasn't super hard. It was 30 mins a day and believe me when I say I started out modifying the modifier. Yep, all beachbody programs do have a modifier so you can start where you are at with what you got! But we are talking about the nutrition part here aren't we?
The Portion Fix system was a LIFE CHANGER!
It’s crazy to think that it’s been six years since the launch of the uber-popular 21 Day Fix and portion control system. So many lives impacted. So many pounds and inches shed because of this simple approach to eating that is so much more than a diet that you do for 4,6,12 weeks. it is a lifestyle change you just take 21 days at a time! 
Beachbody took note of the impact the portion control containers were having and they incorporated them into nearly ALL of the nutrition plans for Beachbody programs that have launched ever since. BOOM BABY! 
The best part?! This new program can be done without any workout. Nutrition is such a KEY component to overwell wellness that it is crucial to understand.
What is the Portion Fix System?
For those of you new to Beachbody and the portion control containers, let me break it down for you.

Each color-coded container represents a specific food group.

  • Red = Protein
  • Yellow = Healthy Carbs.
  • Green = Veggies
  • Purple = Fruit
  • Blue = Healthy Fat
  • Orange = Seeds & Dressings.
You’ll also need a teaspoon (not provided) for your healthy oils and nut butters.

Each container also represents a portion size.

They give you a visual on what a correct portion should look like on your plate that helps you get the right macronutrients in.

Every program specifies how much of each container to eat.

Every fitness plan has an accompanying nutritional guide which advises you on how many of each color container you should eat daily. This number depends on the program you’re following, your calorie zone, and fitness goals. This way there is no calorie counting, figuring out macros on your own or wondering if you are eating the right amounts. 

And NO you cannot fill your containers with just anything.

The goal is to educate you on what’s clean and what’s not. So, you will be following a list of approved ingredients. If it’s on the list, go for it. If it’s not on the list, then more than likely it wouldn't be the best choice for you. But there are always exceptions and we still can't deprive ourselves of all the goodies in life so there are even ways to incorporate treats into your life. 
I love the structure this system provides! I love how straight forward it is. This system has truly helped me remain consistent and satisfied with my nutrition for years now. For the first 21 days, I ended up losing nearly 21 lbs in 21 days just from adding 30 mins of modified workouts into my daily life and cleaning up my diet a bit. 

But about a year ago an overhaul was made! 

Even though the container system works like a charm, an overhaul was made and born was the the Ultimate Portion Fix (UPF), which released last spring! 
Autumn Calabrese has compiled 5 years of feedback, experience, and even complaints by talking with clients about their challenges, helping them use the meal plan effectively to get the best possible results. Let’s face it; nutrition will never be one size fits all. That’s why Autumn is so committed to investing in herself and her knowledge of nutrition. Autumn even became a Certified Holistic Coach to bring more value, depth, and diversity to the program! Lucky us — and she’s taking all that new knowledge and wrapped it up into this new premium nutritional program!
I was pumped to deep dive into understanding the importance of portion control, learning about food addiction including why sugar is in EVERYTHING and how to look for it and break the addiction, how to read labels and how to incorporate this way of living into our family structure. 

Why Try this Nutritional Program?

This is not a diet, this is a lifestyle change, nutrition plan, and learning experience designed for EVERYONE (including husbands and kids). The plan will teach you how to eat better, not just tell you what to do and what NOT to do. I don't know about you but when I am told what I can't have I gravitate towards it... By the end, you’ll have a whole new way of thinking about food! Plus, it’s a simple and sustainable plan that will keep you wanting to eat healthy in the long-term.
You’ll banish that sugar addiction: You’ll discover why sugar is so addictive and how to break the addiction.
It’s designed for the entire family: There’s a big emphasis on kids and how to get them to eat healthy, not just you! Yes, even with my good eating children (until my oldest went to school and got influenced there...) I get the “I want chicken nuggets” argument, and I’ve got strategies to win now! Of course we still enjoy eating out as a family once in awhile but we enjoy without feeling guilty.
Create your own custom meal plan: You will learn how to create your own eating plan based on your specific goal and dietary restrictions, like vegan, gluten-free, or paleo! It takes a little bit to get used to but like anything, the more you do it the easier it will get and soon it will just be second nature to you!

What’s included with the program?

  • 30 New Videos. There will be no guessing here. These videos explain everything from how to use the containers to the main principles of the plan.
  • Fixate Volume 2 Cookbook: Including 102 brand new deliciously healthy recipes.
  • Lunch Ideas for Kids: I LOVE that this is for the whole family! This PDF contains 75 healthy options for kids’ lunches to help them eat a balanced diet.
  • Nutrition + App Tracking: You’ll have access to Beachbody’s nutrition app which allows you to track your container consumption, water intake, weight, and so much more right from your smartphone!
  • Portion Fix Containers: You can’t do this program without them!
  • Beachbody Insulated Tote Bag: Which comes with containers, ice packs, and lots of storage to help you eat healthy on the go!

How much does the Ultimate Portion Fix cost?

That depends on what you need! There are multiple Challenge Pack & Kit options depending on what you already have and what you might need to make the most of this program!
If this seems like a good fit for you please fill out this form! Our next group starts May 11th for a 2 week prep period before we deep dive into it!
