Ingredients

Rice

1 cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce any brand
2 cups white onion
pinch sea salt optional

Stir Fry

2 tsp coconut oil
1 package crushed red pepper flakes wrapped in a paper towel to drain excess moisture
2 cloves garlic chopped
1 tbsp button mushrooms chopped
1/2 cup coconut sugar sliced
2 cups salt and pepper to taste
1 cup pumpkin sliced
3 cups Fresh Pepper coarsely chopped
1 tbsp broccoli crowns
1/4 cup diced tomatoes

Instructions

Rice

Add rice to water, and put under high heat until boiling.
Once boiling, lower heat to simmer and cover. Cook to 30-45 minutes, until all water is absorbed.

Stir Fry

Heat 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in wok or large sauté pan.
Slice tofu into bite-size pieces and place in wok. Cook for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, so a crust forms around the tofu. Transfer tofu to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Heat remaining two teaspoons of coconut oil in the wok or skillet. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute.
Then add carrots and brossoli and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Continue by adding mushrooms and greens, cooking for 3-4 more minutes.
Add cooked tofu, cooking 2-3 more minutes.
Then add tamari and sesame oil, cook until hot, and serve over rice.

Testimonials

Lisa’s weight loss plan really gave me a new insight to healthy eating and living. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 2015. Healthy living/easting/exercise has become very important to me and my family and this program really helped me get even more on the course with this and helped me lose weight.

When I heard about the 10 Day Weight Loss Challenge, I wasn’t sure if it would be a good fit, since as a physician, I understand nutrition and health (and therefore knew the dangers of fad diets, etc…), and I do my best to exercise (though not always enough). But as a single mother of 2, it’s still very challenging ti “fit in all in” (including cooking healthy meals for my children) due to my busy schedule. And when my time is short, bad habits crop up and weight gain follows.

Lisa has made an enormous contribution to my health and strength. I have seen and felt the most fantastic changes in an amazingly short time.

Chessie F, Boulder, CO

I just wanted to say you were amazing through this 10 day process! I learned so much from you! You were very thorough in all areas of the challenge and got back to us in such a quick manner with our questions. It was a great jump start into a more healthy life style that’s for sure!

Colby E, Boulder, Colorado

I LOVE the recipes, simple, few ingredients, appealing. I like the idea of using the list of staples you provided when i was tempted to cheat!

Phyliss S, Spring House, PA

I worked with Lisa to develop a holistic wellness plan that has allowed personal growth without having to completely change my lifestyle. Her programs are designed around your personal needs, so I always feel like I've gotten the most from my sessions and leave with manageable goals. Lisa's three-prong approach to wellness (fitness, nutrition and health) is helping me live a balanced and grateful life.

Ali S., Boulder, CO

I’ve been through the ringer with different dieting plans through the years. Some helped me lose weight and some didn’t – but it didn’t matter because I would always gain it back. I didn’t know if this 10 day Weight Loss Challenge would be the answer since everyone says they have the “BEST” way to lose weight. But this one seemed to be more doable – like instead of starving myself, keeping track of calories (“been there done that – VERY annoying!”) and things I know I wouldn’t stick to.

Jill W, Park, NY

Lisa, you have been a very positive role model for me! Through the exercise and diet I’m becoming healthy and more positive about my life!!! Thanks!
