Life is too short to spend in a constant weight loss battle friends! So many of us want the results and we want to make it easy to reach goals while still living life to the fullest. Simple strategies, right, to be able to rock our favorite outfits while still eating the foods we love, feeling full at every meal, and being satisfied. Do any of the following resonate with you!?
- Want to lose weight, but don’t like to exercise
- Exercise, but struggle with nutrition and do not see the weight loss you want
- Find yourself unable to exercise due to injury/wellness, but want to lose (or maintain) weight through better eating habits
- Love food, eating big portions, and feeling full
- Yo-yo dieter, yet want to maintain your lifestyle
- Want an easy to follow strategy without strict rules – no cutting food groups, counting calories, or eating smaller portions.
- Struggle with emotional eating
- Want an option for the entire family without feeling isolated during family or friend gatherings
My hope is that if any of the above are things that you can relate to – that you keep reading and have a desire to try something new! I have tried many nutritional theories in these past 3 years and I am well aware that nutrition is not a one-size fits all. My hope is that if you haven’t found a lifestyle that keeps you healthy and in charge – that this could be a really simple (life changing) option for you!
2B Mindset is the newest video-based program from Beachbody that focuses on nutrition so that you can gain an understanding of food as fuel and not food as comfort. This program is a great way to change your habits without overwhelming you with workouts at the same time. Wait – NO workouts?? You read correctly – any workout is considered “extra credit” because we all know that we cannot out run the fork! You are more than welcome to workout during the program if you would like, but I’m going to help you focus on losing weight happily by taking control of your relationship with food.
2B Mindset coming in May 2018
The 2B Mindset was created by Registered Dietician, Ilana Muhlstein MS, RDN. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Maryland. She received her Masters of Science degree in Applied Nutrition from Northeastern University. Ilana Muhlstein sits on the prestigious Executive Leadership Team for the American Heart Association and leads the Bruin Health Improvement Program at ULCA. After years of yo-yo dieting herself, she has developed this simple and practical weight loss solution. Ilana Muhlstein has been working on this program with Beachbody for the past 2 years along with years of research and testing on her own to develop 2B Mindset.
2B Mindset is simplistic and does not require you to count calories, points, measure food, or cut food groups. Refer to the table below for the difference in Portion Control Containers approach and the 2B Mindset. I personally use the portion fix nutritional theory and have had great success with it. I’m looking forward to trying 2B Mindset and further enhancing my understanding of my mindset and how good nutrition positively impacts my thoughts and emotions.

The new program will incorporate Shakeology (Regular or Vegan) – a good resource for any 2B Mindset meal in a day. It’s a healthy option that takes the guesswork out of meal planning for those of us who are trying to keep up with life and make healthy choices along the way! There are days that I use the Shakology Boosts in order to get in my greens, improve my digestive health, or need to increase my focus. In addition, the BEACHBARs are a perfect snack. I will be using Daily Sunshine (Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free option) for my children and I along with the Shakeology and BEACHBARs for the 2B Mindset. If you have any questions on the products mentioned, please reach out to my via my email below and I would be happy to help you learn more about them.
The 2B Mindset will be available on Beachbody On Demand; however, it is under a separate Nutrition tab within Beachbody On Demand. This program is not included in the standard Beachbody On Demand access membership. A Beachbody On Demand membership is not included with a 2B Mindset standalone purchase.

Please consider sharing – I take being a lifestyle coach extremely serious and I know that we all know someone who could use help gaining control of their life – gain back their own identity. I know as a mom of 2, learning to take the time for me has been a process to learn and it started in 2015. The ability to not lose myself in daily life has become a gift that I’m helping others embrace in their own life. Progress not perfection my friend; be kind to yourself as your welcome imperfections and receive support from a community of real – women – who are cultivating your growth!
