Looking for a Liift 4 or 21 Day Fix Meal Plan & Grocery List? I’ve gotcha covered! This post contains affiliate links for products I’m obsessed with.
Who else is excited for October?! Apple picking, pumpkins, hayrides, bonfires, cozy beverages, and yummy comfort food! I love the fact that comfort food doesn’t mean I have to compromise on my healthy eating goals.
If you know one thing about me, it’s that I like to EAT. So this meal plan is FULL of comfort foods have lots of veggie power, so that means big portions, full bellies and a happy soul for this momma!
October also means the company-wide launch of Beachbody’s LIIFT4 on BOD. I purchased the Early VIP access, so I’m on week 5 and it’s freaking amazing! It’s only four 30 minute workouts a week which makes it super doable because if you miss a day (which happens to me ALL the time), you have three extra days a week to make it up. No need to feel like a slacker!
And also, the nutrition plan- oh, hi there, treat day! If you’ve previously done the FIX, you will feel very comfortable with the nutrition plan from LIIFT4. The containers/tracking are very similar. Thank you, Joel! (Also, are we discussing how incredibly good looking motivating our trainer is going to be for the next 8 weeks? You agree? Good.)
My biggest advice when you start a new program? Read all of the available materials before you start, and have a plan. Since I love you so much, I’ve done the meal planning part of the process for you!
This week’s meal plan includes healthy comfort food to ease you into your first week of LIIFT4 or any round of the 21 Day Fix. Good luck, I know you can do it!
