A good book to remind us the importance of choosing good whole food to fuel our bodies and to pay attention to the size of our portions.

I have been following Autumns portion fix meal plan since 2016 (back when it was just 21 Day Fix). At first I wasn’t going to order the book because I knew it was the same meal plan I already follow. Then I found out there were going to be exclusive recipes that were only in the book and two new workouts that you would only have access to if you order the book.
If you are already a beachbody (BOD) member, the workouts are under autumns exclusives. The book was marketed that you would only have access to the workouts if you ordered the book, and that was inaccurate, or Beachbody change their mind later and made it available to BOD members.
I enjoyed learning about Autumns story, she shared a lot about her life growing up in the book. I think some of the stories I have heard before, but there were some new stories also. If you already use beachbody programs and are familiar with 21 day fix, you really won’t get anything new out of this book. But if you are brand new to starting your health and fitness journey, this book is perfect for you. Portion fix is definitely one of the simplest meal plans to follow to lose weight or just eat healthier, and even though I fall off track from time to time, I always find myself returning to these nutritional principles.

It was ok, it had nice tidbits and overall good advice but pretty cookie cutter stuff. I really liked her voice.

What an amazing book. Autumn gives you the tools you need to make changes in your life. Even if you are crazy busy. The book is so helpful and provides so much information in an easy to read and easy to learn format. She truly shows you how to live a healthy life! Read this ASAP!

I started using Beachbody in March of 2019. 21 Day Fix and Portion Fix really did change my life. Although my results are not coming as fast as I would have liked Autumn helps me time and time again to look at what I’m eating, how I’m eating, and is helping me every day. This book is a great insight into Autumns life and how you can ease your way into this nutrition program and why you need to eat the amount for the plan you should follow. I highly recommend you pre-order this book!

This is a tough book for me to rate. Five stars for Autumn and her program - it really works. Rather than cutting out food groups or telling you you can only eat during certain times, it relies on portion control (and calorie density - fill up on your veggies!). I personally follow her vegan plan, and I've had great results. I also like her as a trainer; her Beachbody fitness programs are amazing, and I workout with Autumn 6 days a week.
However, the book itself....it's not that well-written (we can't be amazing at everything, Autumn!). It also somewhat felt a little like a commercial for Beachbody. I'm a Beachbody customer, and nothing in it was new for me. But I could see how if you're picking this up for the first time, it might seem like they're trying to sell you more than the book (they are). Don't let that deter you - it's a solid plan. But if you plan on getting a Beachbody on Demand membership, you don't need to buy this book. All of the information is included with her fitness programs (like 21 Day Fix or 80 Day Obsession).
