Choosing the right nutrition plan for you is easier with Beachbody’s 2B Mindset and Ultimate Portion Fix programs to choose between to give you a choice in how you achieve your goals.
Low carb, sugar-free, high protein, no dairy — it seems like everywhere you look there’s a fad diet that cuts out or limits everything that’s fun to eat.
The problem with fad diets is that they aren’t sustainable over the long term.
For lasting results, it’s vital to choose a nutrition plan so your approach to eating isn’t a short-term decision based on the latest fad or popular rumor, but one that will serve you for a lifetime.
The science that associates healthy food choices and proper portions with weight loss and health is certain, but the way to achieve each can be approached in different ways.
What works for a friend may not work for you because we all have a unique history that has shaped our relationship with food and body composition, with different issues and triggers.
So, the real question is: Which nutrition program is right for you?
First, keep in mind this decision is risk-free: We have a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee so if you try one and it doesn’t work for you, you can return it for a refund and try the other.
Now let’s talk about what both programs have in common before we break down the differences:
How to Choose the Right Nutrition Plan
Both 2B Mindset and Ultimate Portion Fix show you what healthy eating looks like and provide you with the tools to establish healthy eating habits for life.
Two key things they don’t do: Neither program advocates cutting out entire food groups or banning foods that make eating so enjoyable.
Instead, 2B Mindset and Ultimate Portion Fix reframe your relationship with food by helping you build a strong nutritional foundation.
They teach you about the basic food groups, how much food you need to fuel your body, how to read labels so when you shop for healthy food you know what you’re getting, how to prepare healthy meals, and so much more.
Now let’s explore the differences:
What Is 2B Mindset?
Ilana Muhlstein, registered dietitian nutritionist, M.S., created the 2B Mindset nutrition program out of necessity.
She used these principles to lose 100 pounds and keep them off by creating methods and “a mindset” to help you understand and manage your behavior and choices about food while still being able to enjoy it.
Ilana believes weight loss is easier achieved when you shift from thinking, “I can’t eat that” to “I just don’t want to,” and has created a unique framework for building self-control, changing habits, and crushing cravings that have been holding you back.
With simple and effective nutrition strategies, behavior patterns, and self-awareness tools, 2B Mindset helps people develop and strengthen their own approach to eating for weight loss and weight maintenance through the use of simple devices, such as the four principles which form the “2B” in 2B Mindset.
“2B” stands for “2 bunnies,” or the shape you get when you hold up the first two fingers in each hand.
Each finger represents one of the main principles Ilana advocates: (1) Water first, (2) Veggies most, (3) Track your food, and (4) Weigh yourself regularly to introduce accountability and empowerment to your daily decisions.
With these simple guidelines and more in-depth discussion of how to be more “conscious” of how you eat and how to construct a meal, the program teaches you what to eat, but also why, when, and how to approach meals and eating situations.
Ilana’s “Plate It” method focuses on eating filling and satisfying meals so you can lose weight without feeling hungry or deprived.
2B Mindset also provides a variety of resources and support for you — instructional videos, practical tips, and 2B-friendly recipes to help you succeed.
Who Is 2B Mindset For?
2B Mindset is for people who want to drop pounds and achieve a healthier relationship with food using a sensible and sustainable approach to eating.
It’s for those who want a realistic and effective set of guidelines that take into account stressful situations, social events, temptations, and travel, so you can still manage your food choices and keep losing weight through whatever life throws at you.

How Can I Be Sure Which Nutrition Program Is Right for Me?
At the end of the day, both of these programs are proven to work and it’s important to make a decision based on your goals and personal experience and then follow a program to see if it’s a fit for you.
And remember: There’s a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee, so if for any reason one program doesn’t work for you, return it in within 30 days for a refund so you can try the other program.
But you won’t make ANY progress unless you decide and commit. The solutions are ready for you, and the results will pay you dividends for a lifetime.
