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 Taco Salad

I love Mexican food! Growing up in Texas I developed a deep desire for spicy food and still have it. I decided to forgo the tortilla and chips while maintaining the taste that I love so much in a effort to stay true to my Living Fit Lifestyle ~ and my waistline!

Chicken and Veal Meatloaf

You may have noticed that I love meatloaf, meatballs, burgers ~ sounds a bit like comfort food, huh? That's probably from growing up in the South.

Asparagus & Artichoke Quiche

By Bernadette Kathryn, LMT, IHLC Almond Meal makes a tasty gluten free crust and an excellent pastry for a change of pace. Add in your favorite vegetables, some egg or egg-whites a little cheese if you prefer and bake! When it comes out of the oven, let it rest for a bit and then enjoy with a side salad for an elegant brunch option or easy lunch.

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.

Chicken with Lemon and Garlic

This is a gorgeous meal that can be made with chicken or turkey! You get to choose.

Grilled Steak and Salad

A good quality grilled steak and salad is an excellent choice for a Sanctioned Meal ~ it doesn't always have to be chicken or fish you know?

Gumbo is a classic southern dish full of zesty flavor, nourishing vegetables and lean protein. Naturally, I have adapted the classic to fit my more figure conscience needs. I have kept all the flavor and ditched the extra calories...

Lemon Sole with Escarole

My mom used to make a wonderful tangy fish dish when I was growing up ~ she used a white fish and cooked it in stewed tomatoes with a lot of lemon and served it over rice to soak up all the tangy sauce, yum!

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.

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.

Thai Curry Meatballs

These succulent meatballs are accompanied with a creamy coconut sauce that embodies all the thai flavors of green curry, ginger, lemongrass and thai chilies for a little extra something something.... which is completely optional!

Chicken Bolognese

An Italian staple -- Bolognese Sauce.  My mom grew up in New Orleans with an Italian mother (my grandmother) she was exposed to classic Italian cooking and the creole cuisine from New Orleans. Then we moved to Texas when I was a child which added another element to the mix -- Tex Mex.  So, you might imagine, nothing that I cook is very 'traditional' in the classic sense. I tend to mix up an old favorite with the flavors that I remember blended in, and this is just that -- my version of Bolognese.
