2B Mindset


2B Mindset

You CAN lose weight—without feeling deprived or hungry and without counting calories or cutting out food groups—so you can go on living your life and enjoying the food you love.

What You’ll Discover:
  • How to eat the foods you love and feel satisfied after every meal—and still lose weight.
  • Proven strategies to help conquer cravings and survive everyday food temptations.
  • The right foods to eat—at the right times—to help maximize energy and weight loss.
The 2B Mindset™ takes a different approach to food than what fad diets have been telling us for years. In fact, it’s not a diet at all. It’s a mindset. And once you learn it, you’ll finally be in total control of food and your body, so you’ll forever know how to lose weight—happily—and keep it off.
Overcome emotional eating. End mindless snacking. And stop punishing yourself for indulging in the foods you love. It’s time to free yourself from deprivation diets. With the 2B Mindset, you can love your body and lose weight while still enjoying your favorite foods.
Here’s How to Get Started:
1. Sign up for the 2B Mindset, if you haven’t done so already.
2. Check out the Getting Started Guide, under the Resources tab.
3. Start watching the videos, beginning with Meet Ilana.

LIIFT 4


Strong and lean in just 4 days a week — Super Trainer Joel Freeman is about to unleash one of the biggest fitness programs of 2018 that will get you building lean muscle and burning a ton of calories.
You’ll pack into just about 30 minutes on average what would normally take an hour and a half at the gym.
It’s called LIIFT4, and it’s an efficient, no-nonsense workout that combines weightlifting and calorie-burning high-intensity interval training (HIIT).
LIIFT4 will become available in the Beachbody On Demand member library on October 1!
The moves are based on classic lifting techniques that let you isolate, stabilize, and focus each rep on the muscle group you’re working.
Every workout ends with a quick core routine for a full-body build and burn that leaves you shredded.
There are no gimmicky moves, no overly complicated routines, and no opportunity for boredom because you’ll do all 32 workouts of the program in real time with Joel and the cast, never doing the same workout twice.

How LIIFT4 Works

Because you’re only working out 4 days a week, Joel makes every second count during each workout; they’re structured to keep you lifting on pace and constantly moving, while timed rest periods allow you to catch your breath before attacking each set.
Joel believes if you train smart you’ll never overtrain. Three recovery days a week give muscles time to repair so you can push harder, lift heavier, and get better results faster.
There are two phases for maximum results: For the first 6 weeks, you’ll build, cut, and define your body, followed by 2 weeks to burn through calories and fat, revealing your ultimate physique.
And since a hardworking body needs fuel, we’ve put together a LIIFT4 Nutrition Guide to make sure you’re getting all the protein, nutrients, and healthy carbs you need for your best results.
Joel also wants to make sure you drink your daily Shakeology. Each superfood nutrition shake has a healthy blend of potent ingredients, including high-quality proteins, probiotics, and essential vitamins and minerals.
To take your workouts and results even further, he’s added the performance-enhancing benefits of Beachbody Performance to your daily routine. This performance-enhancing supplement system can help you get the most out of LIIFT4.
Beachbody Performance gives you more energy to work out and helps you recover faster, so you can hit it again. Motivation has never come easier than with these incredible supplements.

Who Is Joel Freeman?

You know Joel from CORE DE FORCE, the mixed martial arts-inspired workout phenomenon he created with Jericho McMatthews.
This time, he’s flying solo — and he’s pumped to get you motivated with the same workouts he does at home that have given him crazy-good results.
Working over 15 years in the health and fitness industry, Joel has held certifications from the American Fitness Association of America (AFAA) and the American Council on Exercise (ACE), and he’s currently a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) Certified Personal Trainer and Behavior Change Specialist.
From running day-to-day operations in gyms in Texas and Washington to directing Group X programming at Gold’s Gym SoCal and becoming an International Fitness Presenter — he’s done it all.

What Equipment Do I Need?

All you need is a set of light, medium, and heavy weights (depending on your fitness level), or you can substitute with resistance bands.

What Intensity Level Is LIIFT4?

The intensity level of LIIFT4 is high. Whether you’re weightlifting or HIIT training, the breaks are short and Joel continually pushes you to do your best.
This is an intermediate to advanced program, but don’t let that scare you. There’s a modifier you can follow for every workout.

How Much Space Do I Need for This Program?

All you need is about a 6×6 space to get this program done.

Tell Me About the LIIFT4 Program and Nutrition Guide

The LIIFT4 Program and Nutrition Guide features simple, back-to-basics nutrition with common-sense guidelines that facilitate muscle building and fat burning.
The BEST part is you can still have a life — the plan includes an optional “cheat day.” There are no gimmicks, no complicated recipes. Just five easy steps designed to deliver serious results.

What Is Included?

You will get a Workout Calendar as well as a Weight Progression Tracker. The program also comes with a nutrition guide to make sure you're eating the right protein, nutrients, and healthy carbs and fats that your body needs.

80 Day Obsession Nutrition

If you’ve done any of Autumn’s programs in the past, you’re already familiar with her Portion Control approach when it comes to Nutrition. You can expect a very similar approach for 80 Day Obsession, but Autumn herself says that during 80 Day Obsession, she really digs deeper into the nutrition aspect and goes beyond the container system. She refers to the 80 Day Obsession Nutrition Guide as being more about “Timed Nutrition”, meaning she will be explaining the optimal things to eat before/after your workouts, as well as timing your food throughout the rest of the day. This means that literally NOTHING is left to a guess and you will know exactly what to be eating & WHEN in order to get the best possible results!
And trust me when I say, you need to be prepared to EAT A LOT during this program! You should be ready to fuel your body with lots of lean proteins, veggies, fruits, healthy fats & good carbs in order to support your metabolism and kick your fat burning/muscle building potential into high gear!




About 80 Day Obsession From Autumn Calabrese
How did the idea of 80 Day Obsession come about?
The Beachbody CEO, Carl Dialer has a whiteboard FULL of workout program ideas.  One of them was an “Ass and Abs” program.  He approached Autumn Calabrese about the idea of that and Country Heat about the same time.  However, the technology wasn’t there to do a real-time workout yet on the platform, so Country Heat came first.
What is timed nutrition?
Timed nutrition has nothing to do with intermittent fasting, contrary to what some of you might think.  It’s basically Autumn just answering some of the questions she’s received over the years on the best containers to eat at what times of the day.  For example, what should you eat before your workout.  The best things to eat AFTER.  When should I be done with my yellows?  All timed nutrition meals is that Autumn is suggesting the best macronutrients to eat when.  You still get to decide what goes into your containers and when.
What about the pre-workout meal?  It’s supposed to be eating an hour and a half to two hours before I work out.  What if I’m an early-riser and need to work out right away?
The tough love answer is that you should still eat before you work out – it’s called OBSESSION for a reason.  However, you can sub out Meal One for your pre-workout meal and do it 20 minutes before your workout instead of an hour and a half or two.  If you still can’t adhere to that, you simply start your timed nutrition after you’re done with your workout.
What does the name OBSESSION mean?
80 Day Obsession is all about COMMITTING to YOURSELF.  The word obsession has nothing to do with obsessing about the number on the scale, it has nothing to do with obsessing over how you look, or obsessing over calories.  It’s about having a certain level of obsession over yourself and your self-care… and being OK with that.  That’s what being obsessed is about.
The focus of 80 Day Obsession is 3-fold.
1. Build the glutes.  Yes, we all want a great looking back side but its just as important to have a strong butt.  That’s right, glutes are a big muscle that do a lot of work.  We spend a lot of our day sitting on our butts, we need to get those muscles firing and functioning properly.
2. Reduce total body fat, especially in the stubborn belly area
3. Emphasize the right kind of core work to get flat but defined abdominals. It’s no secret that I’ve wanted to build my butt and I’ve been working on it for awhile now. This program proves that with the right combination of exercises and timed nutrition – shaped,  firm glutes that look good and function even better doesn’t have to be restricted to the genetically gifted. The booty is made of muscle and just like any other muscle in the body, it can be built and sculpted.
The focus of 80 Day Obsession is exciting, but what I’m even more excited about is the way I get to deliver it to you over the course of 13 weeks. This isn’t 7 workouts on repeat. Every workout is unique in some way so I keep your body (and your mind) guessing and you never get bored. It’s how I would train you if you were a personal client meeting me in the gym every day.
  • 16 functional and foundational workout routines
  • 45-60 minutes in length
  • 3 total phases with new workouts and moves for each phase
  • Weekly changes to the reps, weights and intensity of that phases’ workouts so you never repeat the exact same workout.
  • Weights, sliders, loops, and HIIT cardio moves to create a lean, sculpted and STRONG body.
before and after, shred fat, eat clean, lose weight, build a booty, get fit, tone, 21 day fix, eat clean

I know the lingering question on everyone’s mind is what about the food! Here’s the deal. It’s simple, it’s delicious and it’s gonna get you the results you want. I’ve precisely timed your consumption of carbs, fat and especially protein so that your nutrition is actually doing a lot of the work for you when it comes to body shaping and fat burning. Your meals are timed around your actual workout to help grow and firm the muscles you’re working.
I’m confident you guys are going to love this macro-nutrition program because it takes all the guess work out. I literally tell you exactly how to eat AND when to eat and we use the familiar container system from 21 Day Fix to make sure you’re getting the right portion and combination of each food group when your body needs it most.
While abs and booty may be a primary vanity objective, this program is designed for your body to function optimally, to be lean, but shockingly strong. Yes, a great looking body is nice, but a great looking body that works well, moves well and feels great is truly a gift!
One last thing… I went with the word “obsession” because to achieve the kind of results this program delivers in just under three months takes a specific type of focus. You could say we’re becoming obsessed with the process, obsessed with the details that help move us forward, obsessed with self-care and obsessed with making physical, mental and even nutritional gains.

Easy 21 Day Fix Lunches

Have the 21 Day Fix but need some inspiration for meals? I have 4 easy and delicious lunch/dinner ideas below!

Mediterranean Lunchbox


What’s in the Portion Fix containers:
  • 1 green: mixed greens
  • 1 green: a mixture of cherry tomatoes, chopped onion, and sliced cucumber
  • 1 purple: grapes
  • 1 yellow: whole wheat pita bread
  • 1 orange: kalamata olives
  • 1 blue: feta
  • Free food: balsamic vinegar
Put them together, and you have this tantalizing lunch with fiber-rich pita and healthy fats to keep you feeling full. You can also stuff the salad ingredients inside the pita bread for a meal you can eat with your hands.

Southwestern Chicken and Quinoa Power Lunch


What’s in the Portion Fix containers:
  • 1 green: mixture of chopped green and red bell peppers and white onion
  • ½ green: sliced cucumbers
  • 1 purple: mango
  • 1 red: boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 yellow: quinoa
  • ½ yellow: corn kernels
  • 1 blue: shredded cheddar cheese
  • Free food: cilantro, lime wedge (not pictured)
Combine the peppers and onion, chicken, corn, quinoa, and cheese for a bold and colorful salad — no lettuce or dressing needed. Tuck a wedge of lime in your lunchbox to squeeze over the mango and cucumber slices and give them a light dusting of chili powder (trust us on this one), you can even mix them together!

Roasted Turkey Breast and Vegetables


What’s in the Portion Fix containers:
  • 1 green: steamed green beans
  • ½ green: sautéed mushrooms
  • 1 red: roasted turkey breast
  • 1 yellow: baked sweet potato
  • 2 tsp.: olive oil
  • Free food: parsley
Buy cooked turkey breast in the deli or prepared foods section of your grocery store, or use this recipe for brined turkey breast. We served ours on a few leaves of spinach for extra color (if you use a full cup of spinach you can count an extra green container for the day!). Sautée some chopped mushrooms in a teaspoon of oil, bake a sweet potato or make sweet potato bites, and steam green beans (you can dress them up with a drizzle of olive oil, lemon zest, and chopped parsley).

Simple Spaghetti Squash Pasta — and Dessert!

What’s in the Portion Fix containers:
  • 1 green: spaghetti squash
  • ½ green: roasted broccoli
  • ½ purple: marinara sauce
  • ½ purple: apple
  • 1 red: ground turkey
  • 1 yellow: chocolate-covered almonds
  • 1 blue: parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp: olive oil
Roasted spaghetti squash stands in for pasta topped with jarred, all-natural marinara sauce and cooked ground turkey. We roasted broccoli with a teaspoon of olive oil for about 15 minutes and finished it with shavings of parmesan cheese (you could sprinkle some of the cheese over the pasta, too).
Start End the meal with apple slices and chocolate covered almonds – a dessert we can get behind!

Your step-by-step plan to assemble the no-cook meal prep:

1. Make the overnight oats. Place ¼ cup oats and ¾ cup Greek yogurt in a Mason jar or food storage container. Top with one cup of fresh or frozen fruit.
2. Thaw the frozen green beans, then prepare the Tuna Niçoise Lettuce Cups. Between four lettuce leaves, divide one can of tuna, ½ cup thawed green beans, ½ cup chopped cherry tomatoes, and five chopped olives. Dress with a lemon wedge or balsamic vinegar.
3. Prepare the Roast Beef Salad. Combine 1 cup lettuce, ½ cup cherry tomatoes, ½ cup shredded carrots, 3 oz. deli roast beef, ½ cup beans of any kind, and dressing.

You can dress the salad during the meal prep, or wait until the day you eat it.
4. Make the Peanut Lime Dressing. Place 2 Tbsp. water, ¼ cup smooth peanut butter, 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice, 1 Tbsp. rice vinegar, 2 tsp. finely chopped fresh ginger, 2 tsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce, and 2 tsp. raw honey in a blender, and blend until smooth.
5. Prepare the Asian Chicken Wrap. Set out three food storage containers and place one 6-inch whole wheat tortilla in each. Chop 8 raw, unsalted cashews; chop cilantro or parsley (to taste); and chop green onion (to taste). On top of the tortilla, add 1 cup shredded cabbage, 3 oz. rotisserie chicken breast, cashews, cilantro or parsley, and green onions. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp. Peanut Lime Dressing.
6. Prepare the turkey or veggie burger. Set out two food storage containers and place a lettuce leaf and a tomato slice in each. Serve with one turkey burger or veggie burger patty that has been microwaved or toasted and topped with mustard. For a side, serve with ½ cup baby carrots or chopped bell peppers and ¼ cup hummus.
