A Healthy Decade
Betsy and I (Jack) have spent the LAST decade learning about food and how to make healthy food a simple habit.
We'll share what we've learned starting in early January with the hopes it will help YOU get a little healthier for the NEXT decade.
Together we can save time and money while we feel better and enjoy our meals more.
Whether you rarely cook or never eat out, there will be something for you in our FIT Unchallenge 2020.

Small changes can have a big impact
What to expect
Over several weeks we will post our meal plans to start off a healthy decade. We're not following any trendy diets (paleo, keto, whole 30, plant paradox, etc). At their core most are just about eating real food anyhow -- Our goal is to make that simple, fast and sustainable.
I think there is a lot of value in aspects of these diets and we'll share our insights into where we, personally, focus. You may decide to go further and that's great -- but, nearly everyone can commit to themselves to take the simple steps we'll share with you.
Small changes can have a big impact - We can do this!

Food First
To get started:
- Add the full package to your cart
- Customize for your family by removing boxes you don't prefer and/or adding extras of others
- Share the public signup form with your friends where they can place a one-time order
I will be including extra recipes choices to fit a wide range of preferences --- If you are going full Keto - we'll have compliant meals, but in our house we are still eating some healhy pizza along the way!
Full Package
Box includes all of the full package

The full package has:
- 11 pounds of chicken (Premium Red Ranger- breast, thigh, drumstick and wings)
- 7 pounds of grass fed beef (Roast and ground)
- 9 pounds of organic soup base (Six 24 ounce packages: broth, carrot, onion, celery) (some of our members say it is the best soup they've ever had)
- 5 pounds of our sugarless favorites: Euro-style herb bacon, breakfast sausage, brats and 48 hour smoked pulled pork without sauce)
- 5 pounds of our most popular sausage sampler: American style bacon, smoked brats, pepperoni, summer sausage and more
- 9 pounds of heritage pork (Boneless chops, roast and ground)
Around 38 pounds of food + the soup base
I'd recommend adding the hearth and pizza crust packages. One of the biggest issues with bread and carbs is that most are made with modern wheat varieties or are missing the critical sourdough, long fermentation. Long ferments improve digestibility and nutrient density. If you want to get healthy and still enjoy bread products, be sure to add some of these.
I've never seen an organic, heritage wheat long ferment sourdough bread in the grocery. I am so grateful Backwards Bread agreed to make these special for our group.

After trying the conventional version, we begged Travis at backwards bread to make us an organic option!
Try with ham and cheese - amazing!
These will keep well in your freezer for longer than you'll allow them to stay there!

Wait - there's more!
I recently met with Aaron (Fit Studio's founder and head coach) to discuss how we could support those looking to get healthier for the New Year.
Aaron started FIT Studio nearly two decades ago and his team has trained some of the very best professional athletes and supported the most successful newly healthy members of our community. Our views on food and cooking couldn't be more aligned.
Despite what Instagram may tell you, nobody is perfect.
If we all take just one or two steps in a healthier direction we can ensure that improvement is sustainable.
