The Objectives of this game are simple:

The Living Fit Game is intended to give you a motivational boost and support to reach your wellness goals! It does not serve as a weight-loss or fitness program. We aim to make it fun for you to lose weight by engaging in a game of social-wellness with your friends and family. And, since we don’t know you personally (and even if we did) we can’t advise you properly on how to lose weight. The objective of the game is to support you in your quest to improve your overall health and wellness by making sensible, sustainable lifestyle changes on a daily basis.

 

Quick weight loss methods aren’t sufficient to achieve lasting results. Weight loss methods that rely on diet aids like drinks, prepackaged foods, or diet pills don’t work in the long run. Although the Living Fit Game may be a catalyst for changing your habits, the most important changes are long term. No matter how much (or little) weight you have to lose, modest goals and a slow course will increase your chances of both losing the weight and keeping it off. Don’t do dumb things to lose weight!

This is a game of Social Wellness:

Note that we may recommend certain approaches and products from time to time on our site and in our emails but you should consult a professional before acting on our advice. Everything that we suggest is optional. Each individual must assess the best choices for themselves. Certain exercises are better for some and not appropriate for others ~ as are food choices. Make your personal decisions wisely and you will ultimately benefit from leading a clean, living fit lifestyle!

Chicken Marsala

This Living Fit Lifestyle version of Chicken Marsala is made without using the flour ~ since I am gluten free and the flour would not be good for me, I omit it completely.  I thicken the gravy by using my VitaMix blender to puree some of the onion which gives the sauce a little body.

Light Lasagna

Chicken Apple Curry

If you love the warming spice of curry and a slightly sweet taste of stewed apples and cinnamon, you will love this dish as much as I do.  I serve it with roasted cauliflower to keep this dish fully sanctioned and Paleo perfect!  If you prefer to add some starch to your meal plan, you can add brown rice and the meal will be more substantial.

Mushroom Duxelle

Ummm Mushrooms! This is a classic mushroom preparation that we learned in school and as you might have guessed ~ I don't really do it the way we learned in culinary school, it's a little time consuming for me and the quick version that I go to gives me all the flavor with out all the fuss.

Vegetarian Stuffed Pepper

I made this version of a stuffed pepper meat-less and utilized ribbons of carrot instead of pasta, it's a tasty way to get more vegetables and less grains, perfect vegetarian stuffed pepper for your #MeatlessMondays.

Meatloaf

What I love about meatloaf is you can use any kind of meat you like or even make it a veggie loaf if you don't eat meat.... the concept is the same. It's incredibly easy, gather your ingredients, mix them in a large bowl, put them together in a loaf pan and bake. In an hour, you have a very healthy, comforting dinner ready for a family.

Quinoa Tabouli

My dear friend Anthony (from Texas) first introduced me to Tabouli many, many years ago. It was love at first bite -- I love everything about it, it's fresh, tangy, chewy, and I couldn't stop eating it. I ate a whole (large) bowl all by myself, many times... so good!
