I have this and really like it. I like the instructor a lot something I did not expect to do. The workouts are 30 min. Little rest between exercises. I followed this for the 21 days and lost 7 lbs. The containers are maybe gimmicky but they worked for me. I eat clean basically but my portion control was not great and I liked to snack at night. I basically realized I wasn't eating enough during the day. The containers helped me to figure that out. The workouts are not very hard but they leave me feeling worked at the end and I always do them because they are only 30 min so no excuses. They also have a rotation that shows you how to double them up so you have an hour.
Autumn does walk around but I don't find that annoying and at times I find it even helpful as she points something out to one of her caste members.
I think the color coded containers are helpful. They tell you how to figure out how many calories you should be eating and then how many servings of each food group usng the containers. Green container is for vegies and you can have 3 or more containers. And same for carbs, proteins etc.

PhyllisG, I am glad you like the workout and containers. Like I said, I don't have the workouts but wanted to follow the eating program with the info that is out on the web. I was following the second range the 1,500 to 1,799. I am doing STS and P90X3. Love the variety you get with P90X3. I also log my food into MFP, which showed I wasn't eating in that cal range
I do think the program is a great for people and like me that need help with portion control and eating clean. I also realized I ate too many carbs:roll eyes: In my calorie range, I get 4 greens which is your veg =1 cup, 3 purple which is your fruit =1 cup, 4 red which is your proteins = 3/4 cup, 3 yellow which is your carbs +beans = 1/2 cup, 1 blue which are your healthy fats, nuts + cheese 1/3 cup, 1 orange which is your seeds, oil, coconut, dressing, 4 tsp = olive oil, peanut butter. I had to eat more proteins than 3 cups, I also eat more vegetables than 3 cups a day. Like I said I following this eating program very, I mean very loosely. I make sure, I only limit my carbs (good ones ) to 2 a day and make sure I eat them before 6 a.m.I also logged my food into MFP and was under every time
I been following this and doing P90X3 and STS and lost 12 pounds in 12 weeks. No matter what program you do, diet is the key! Her program isn't any different that's what's already out there. As far as those tiny, color coded container…yes, they fun but not necessary, IMO! I bought some cheap, colored measuring containers at TJMax, they doing the job. Her workout look like fun, but I haven't seen with her workouts I already seen/have. I don't think I need those workouts to lose weight or follow her program, JMO! Have fun and congrats on your weight loss!
