Get results like this...

Hi Katherine,

I just wanted to tell you I completed the 7 day detox and I feel so great.

I have lost 6lbs, do not feel like I need more my morning coffee, the flushing of my facial skin from rosacea has dramatically reduced and I am so excited to wake up each morning and make a green thickie for breakfast!!

I am a stay at-home, homeschooling momma of 3 littles and at times so busy I would forget to feed myself!

I would go most of the day without eating and then snack on random things.

I gained 60 pounds the last 6 years during pregnancy.

I have lost 30lbs but recently plateaued and have felt so frustrated.

I’ve tried everything from paleo and keto to the point where I didn’t know what to eat or how much and felt like even eating fruit was bad for me which thankfully it’s not!

What a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing a simple but effective program.

I’m so excited to continue another week with this plan! Thankful Stephanie

  3. WHAT would I do with $1K to Amazon.com?! It’s going to sound awful boring to some . . . I’d go supplement shopping. I have one boy with Autism, and another we suspect has it, and all four of our kids have varying digestive issues, so $1K would go far. Good quality multivitamins, pastured beef gelatin, dried elderberries, probiotics, some good sensory therapy toys . . . that would be completely and totally awesome. :D

    Reply

  4. An Amazon giftcard could be so helpful for Christmas shopping. I have 5 children so I know it wouldn’t be hard finding what to spend the money on. Maybe I’d even have a little left over for myself; I could really use some new slippers. :)

    Reply

  6. Lots of good healthy food stuff you can’t buy in town, like yummy coconut oil!! Also a nice gift for my mother-in-law that watches our kids whenever we ask.

    Reply

  7. I would get a dining room set so we can start having family dinners at the the table and not the couch. We have a baby girl due in March 2014 and I would start purchasing things to get ready for her arrival. I would get her a crib, dresser, breast pump, nursing pads, and crib bedding set. I would start stocking up on diapers and wipes. I would buy my 15 month old son news books and toys. There is so much lol!! I would get a new camera and a kitchaid stand mixer to make baking a lot easier for me. I would also get new pots and pans.

  8. I would buy a new refrigerator and use the remaining amount to stock up on mason jars and pantry supplies.

  9. I don’t ‘really’ need anything for myself (though I do have some wants), but I would love to give my kids a couple of great gifts and then make sure that more Angels from the Angel Tree have a great Christmas… thanks for the great giveaway!!!

    Reply

  10. I just started making the homemade items and am giving this stuff away to my family at Christmas. If I won the gift card, I’d probably get more items to create product for an Etsy shop. I’m really enjoying tweaking recipes into my own creations! Thanks for the opportunity.

    Reply

  11. I would use the $1000 to buy gifts for all my friends and family. If any money was left I would buy myself the list of things I have in my amazon wishlist, most items are what I buy in order to feed my Paleo cooking needs.

    Reply

  12. If I won the $1,000 gift card I would first tithe $100 to church. Then, I’d buy my hubby some bagpipes, because he’s always wanted to learn them. Next, I’d stock up on coconut oil, flour, and manna!! Then, buy a thing or two for the kiddos!

  14. Most likely a new Vitamix as my old one bit the dust finally after almost twenty years, the rest would be for various gifts…

    Reply

  15. Christmas is going to be slim this year. I would spend the 1,000 on my family for Christmas. Just found out my oldest daughter is pregnant!! Even though she isn’t due until July…I want to buy something for my grand-baby! :)

    Reply

  16. My blender is about to die so this prize would be perfect for me to be able to buy myself the Vitamix I am coveting on Amazon at the moment.

    Reply

  18. I have been unemployed for a bit and I am expecting my first grandchild….so, the gift card would be well used and very appreciated. :)

  19. I have NO Christmas budget this year. A win like this would certainly change our Christmas plans. We might be able to have that Christmas feast and tree afterall. AND maybe even bless some others along the way. Thanks for the opportunity even if only to dream! Merry Christmas.

  20. I would purchase some fun items to give away to my visitors on my blog. I would also purchase a Kindle HD for me. The rest I would spend on Christmas presents for my family and friends. Thank you for this opportunity!

  27. From what I’ve seen on the blogs, a VitaMix would be a great addition to a vegan kitchen. For someone new to cooking, I’m learning that the right tool (or toys) make all the difference in making it quick and easy – and therefore something you want to do again. Renovating the house, so there’s a long list there. Thanks for the chance and HAPPY HOLIDAYS everyone.

    Reply

  28. I would add it to my account and use it as needed. Groceries, homeschool curriculum, etc… We buy almost everything on amazon.

    Reply

  29. My husband and I are trying to get healthy enough to have our first baby soon. I would love to spend $1000 on amazon on baby gear like a crib, stroller, car seat, pump, and organic cotton diapers. It’s expensive to start out! Thanks for offering this giveaway, and extra thanks for providing the information on this website!

  30. I would use the prize to buy really wonderful gifts for my family and I would also use it to buy products I need for my healthy lifestyle such as dry roasted unsalted almonds to make my own almond butter, and dates that I use as my only sweetener. Thank you Katherine for this opportunity!

    Reply

  31. I would buy a few kitchen items I need and I would buy the products I need to make non toxic homemade personal care and cleaning products for my family and friends. Thank you for having this giveaway! :) merry christmas

  37. I would immediately purchase a few books that I’ve wanted plus the Little House Books and Anne of Green Gables Books for my little girls and the rest would go towards birthday gifts, anniversary gifts, and other needs throughout the year. We are on a very tight budget so this would help tremendously.

    Reply

  38. I would love to win a $1000.00 gift card for Amazon. There are so many things I see you suggest using from Amazon that I would love to try.

    Reply

  45. I would use this Amazon gift card to purchase a high quality juicer along with as many recipe books as I can find. I know that juicing can have a major impact on my health, I just don’t have the financial ability to persue it. Thank you for this opportunity.

    Reply

  46. I have to agree with another commenter, I would use it buy supplements and other healthy living items. My 3 year old son has eczema and it’s mainly due to gut issues as it get worse with gluten consumption. I’d buy coconut oil and butter as well and raw honey. I’d also get a pressure canner :)

  50. Was unable to sign up for your newsletter. It says that it’s waiting for confirmation but I did not receive your confirmation e-mail in either my inbox or my spam folder.

  57. If I were to be the winner of the $1000.00, it would take awhile to decide just what the best things would be, but 10% would be to God’s work. Then, I’d love being able to give some items to others who so deserve them….many hard times for people these days. And we, ourselves, have had a very difficult year (actually longer) and would feel we could replace a few items that have worn out without the guilt. I make everything we eat and spend much time in the kitchen preparing, so it would be nice to select some practical aids to help.

    Thanks for offering this opportunity and Merry Christmas to all………………

    PS – I’m pretty new at this giveaway thing, and unsure on how to about filling out all the blanks. I clicked to subscribe to several sites, but never received anything from them. I hope it will be alright to just go to their sites and sign up but can’t at the moment, so will have to be later. As it is, this page has been sitting here for quite awhile as I couldn’t get back here. Thanks.

  58. Organic herbs and spices. A zester. Maybe a food processor. The organic conditioner I like and can only find on Amazon…..

  62. Besides helping with my family Christmas, I would use it in my special needs classroom. I spend so much of my own money, especially for a couple of kids who are homeless, and also for classroom supplies. Have a wonderful holiday yourself!

    Reply

  63. If I won, I would buy some bedding for my precious little boy (we are switching him to his own bed soon).

  71. My 18 year old son is going on a mission to Argentina for 2 years this February, so I need to buy him a nice suit & coat. I also have 4 other children & a husband to shop for, so toy, clothes, &/or gadgets would be fun! The kids always enjoy new books. And my 11 year old daughter wants to start sewing clothes for her doll, so a sewing machine would be great for her as well!!

  79. Rain gear! I would buy good rain gear for the family our old ones get us wet and we are very much outdoor folks. Backs would be a good match to. We are super green smoothie drinkers, even my year old grandson loves them.

  91. I would give it to my mom. Ever since her second bout of cancer she hasn’t had any money for herself, anything I give her goes to bills. I would love to give her some money she would have to spend on herself so she can finally feel special.

  105. Wow, what an excellent contest.
    I discovered your blog over a year ago and your work has been instrumental in helping me find my way back to good health. I am in my 50s, so the weight is coming of very slowly–about 3-5 pounds per month but I have not seen my previously disordered eating rear its ugly head and it has been practically pain free to boot.
    I’ve signed up for the e-course and can’t wait to get started learning more.
    Thank you for a beautiful, encouraging blog full of great ideas.
    Merry Christmas!

  109. Gosh what would I buy with $1000 on Amazon?! Probably a really great blender, an outdoor climbing dome for my kids, and books for my lending library. Awesome giveaway…thanks!

    Reply

  110. I would give this gift card to my parents, who both adore reading on the Kindle Fires. I can’t even count the times my mom has told me about a book she can’t wait to read, but she has to “Wait until payday to buy it”; even though between then and payday, she buys countless things for me, my three brothers, and the rest of the family. She could buy all the books she wanted with this!

    Reply

  111. After paying tithes and taxes, I would buy Christmas presents and save the rest, as I have a raise in rent coming and that and other necessities will soon pretty much max out my retirement income.

  120. I would love to win $1,000 toward Amazon! I live in a rural area where I can’t buy a lot of things to eat with my multiple food allergies. I am an Amazon frequent shopper! I also want to buy the grinder/ sausage stuffer attachment for my kitchen aid so that I can make my own safe sausage and I’d love to get a food processor to help with that too and things like making cashew cream and soups and shredded veggies. If you want to see my Amazon wish list you can, lol :) I also really love baking for others who have food allergies/restrictions/limitations, because it is a challenge, but it ultimately makes everyone feel included.
    Cheers :)

    Reply

  122. I could do ALL of my Christmas shopping and buy all those things on my wish list to help us eat even healthier – vitamix, grain free flours, healthy oils, etc… This would be amazing to win and would certainly help us to start 2014 the way that we want :-).

    Reply

  123. $1000 would be extremely helpful right now. I love that amazon.com is selling things like food and nutritional supplements, because that’s what most of it would go toward! With 7 children to feed and multiple food allergies, these things can get pricey.

    Reply

  126. I would use the gift card to buy my supplements for the next couple of years! I would buy Great Lakes Gelatin and some probiotics. I would also buy supplies to make skincare products, like clays, activated charcoal, shea & cocoa butter, and oils. An amazon giftcard would be such a blessing to my health right now. Being a college student, some of these items are a real luxury to be able to purchase!

    Reply

  128. There are some families in need of diapers and other essentials here. I’d buy a huge box of items for those people in my area.

    Reply

  130. I would use half of it to buy things we need and 1/4 for things we want and the other 1/4 for things that someone else needs!!

    Reply

  136. I would buy a few big ticket items I’m currently saving for, like a deep and tall shelf to extend my tiny kitchen into the dining room and a juicer, a dehydrator, a water purifier (Big Berkey) to provide better meals for my family, and Christmas gifts for my family.

    Reply

  137. I would definitely buy a good blender to make my smoothies much more appealing. Right now I’m using a ninja and it doesn’t quite pulverize as much as I would like, so a great blender would be awesome.

  142. Hi,

    I posted yesterday and have just been able to finish getting signed up for all the newsletters I entered for the entries. However, it’s still saying at the top of my posts that my comment is awaiting moderation. I’m interested in knowing if I’ve been accepted for the giveaway or not, as I’ve spent so much time having to sign up by going to each site individually. If you could please let me know, I’d appreciate it.

    Thank you.

  148. I would use my gift card to get nice things for my relatives, teachers, and people who have been so generous to me. (Returning to favor) With the extra money, I would get something I would need later. Maybe I’ll have extra money for the next holiday!

    Reply

  150. I’d love $1000 to spend on BABY STUFF and KITCHEN STUFF! A Boba carrier would make it a lot easier for mama to get things done in the kitchen. (Wow, this sounds way too domestic. I think I’ll also buy a mountain bike for good measure.)

    Reply

  151. I would use some of the gift card on people who really, and absolutely need it. Just like the poor with no home, family, or good clothes. I would donate to help people. I would use some of the money on my grandmother, who has been serving a feast for the whole family every Sunday. Using the money to support a school sounds like another thing I will do. Anything that will do people good!

  168. If I was to win…I would use my gift card to purchase feed for the rescued birds we care for…and to purchase the natural remedies I have been taking to fight Pulmonary Fibrosis so I can keep working with the birds and being here for my family. this was the rational behind setting up my art gallery online so sales of prints would provide for the Wild Bird and Surrendered Pet Bird Sanctuary we made out of our home. I’ve only sold 2 prints in 2 years so if anyone takes a fancy to any of my artwork…please know that the purchase helps feed and house the orphaned and injured birds here. we have ducks and geese, various pigeons and doves, small to big parrots, jays, crows, starlings, finches, shorebirds, marsh birds, songbirds and the occasional raptor who after arriving via local vets or shelters…await their ride by a permitted transport person…to the Birds of Prey Center in SC.

  169. A $1000 Amazon gift card is definitely a dream-come-true wish! I’d love to use it to finally get myself that camera that I’ve been eyeing for so many months now but is waaaay out of my budget no matter how much I keep saving for it.

    Reply

  172. I would use the money to stock up on essential oils and bulk organic foods for my husband and I. We’re a young military couple stationed in Hawaii and the organic/health food situation here is quite disappointing. Getting this money would be a huge blessing!

  191. I would buy a Vitamix Blender but not sure what I would do with the other half of the $ except that it would be something healthy or possibly new computer parts….

  192. This would be the ULTIMATE present for Christmas! I buy most of my presents online anyways (because finding organic/fairtrade is not easy in a small town), and being in college definitely doesn’t make spending money easy. This would be such a blessing.

    Reply

  195. If I won I would buy a Vitamix, Dehydrator and a food processor to complete my raw kitchen! I just bought a secondhand greenstar juicer and have been saving all the pulp to dehydrate! I would be able to share the healthy food with my friends and family and spread the word!

    Reply

  197. This is so nice of you to share a gift certificate when you already are helping so many people become/stay healthy. I want to start by saying that I have been smoothing since last spring. Since last year, I have lost over 110 pounds! I teach Kindergarten, and smooth every day at lunch for myself and three other teachers. With the money, I would like to see if we could get another Vitamix for the teachers’ room. Then, I would buy books for my classroom, and gifts for my family. Thank you for the news letters with all the encouragement for healthy eating. Smoothing has changed my life, given me more energy and a more positive outlook.

  211. I homeschool, make most of our household cleaning products, medicinals and beauty products AND we are all avid readers….the $1000 would go really, really fast. :) Hmmm…stocking up my herbal supplies, container stock and base oils would be the first thing on the list. :)

  218. We would spend this on Christmas and a little something for everyone in the family. Dehydrator for mom, drill for Dad and books for the kiddos!

I would also stock up on almond flour, gelatin, ghee, and bulletproof coffee! (And probably buy some goodies for myself and my doggies, I won’t lie.)

    Reply

  240. I’d use it on Christmas presents for my family. Last year I spent about $700 on my sister alone, so add in presents for my parents and grandparents, and it really adds up!

    Reply

  249. Well, I would love to get a decent Craft Table I saw on Amazon for my ALL of my beading…lol Plus, I would get a Kitchen-Aid machine that would make things a little bit easier for me, as I do have a physical limitation that sometimes makes it very hard on my muscles to co-operate when I want them to….lol But, I just go w/ the flow….if I can do it, I do….if I can’t, it’s gotta wait for another day :) I wish everyone well in the draw & have a wonderfully blessed Christmas :)

    Reply

  250. We’d use it for healthy groceries, like coconut oil, coconut sugar, ghee, etc. (and to help cover all the random stuff my husband seems to keep ordering. :+)

  253. I would pay for the Amazon Prime membership and then finally get all those specialty grocery items that I’ve been dying to buy that are hard to get where I live!! I’ve been wanting to transition to grocery shopping on Amazon for awhile but this would help me give me that opportunity to buy things like Coconut Flour, Aarowroot, real Cacao Nibs, all those cool items I want to cook with!

  261. I would do some extra Christmas shopping, get a better blender, buy some smoothie supplies, and some kindle books for starters.

    Reply

  262. We just started homeschooling and the budget has been pretty tight with 3 kids. This would cover their textbooks, supplies and the reference books I’ve been saving up for! I would probably spring for an Ipad as well so they get some technology exposure and access to the learning apps on there.

    Reply

  264. In the Christmas spirit of giving, I would use the gift card to buy toys and clothes for my neighbors little girls. These past couple of months have been hard on our families and unfortunately none of us have the money for gifts this year. They are upset that they can’t get the girls anything so I would use the gift card so that Santa could make a stop by their house this year.

    Reply

  265. We have 3 girls, 5 nieces and a nephew to get presents for, plus a new house to decorate! Momma also needs some new kitchen stuff for her Paleo cooking adventures :-D

    Reply

  266. All my supplements and health foods as the cost of getting well has been staggering and a serious financial drain on my family

    Reply

  267. I would start off with a BlandTec to make blended drinks….possibly two….one for the family……then healthy staples, i.e., coconut oil, etc…

    Reply

  268. If I won the gift card, I would be able to get a few of the kitchen tools I’ve been needing, buy a wooden play kitchen and a few more presents for my kids, probiotics, supplements, and if I had any left over maybe I would get myself a new pair of shoes which are much needed. The gift card would help out so much!

  327. I am fairly new with the idea of Green shakes and natural foods, but I am convinced and consider myself to be a new convert! I am 59 years old and realized that I have been eating wrong all of my life. Now, I want to teach my children, and yes, even my three grandkids all about this way of eating. I NEED the gift card, because as a single woman, I can’t afford to feed myself even the wrong foods. I want to be able to purchase the fresh foods and other healthy herbal things, that are just quite expensive, especially for me on a very tight, fixed income. Thank you for this opportunity.

  331. I’ve been the solo caregiver to my elderly, disabled parents for about 5 years. I’d love to be able to purchase a Kindle for my visually-impaired mother, so she can read her beloved books again. I’d also like to be able to pick up some supplies from Amazon, I’ve recently started a journey to try and lose weight, and with all the dietary requirements of the household, it’s been a lot tougher than I thought to make time to eat properly. (ESRD, Diabetic, gluten-limited, sulfur-limited. It excludes a lot of veggies, fruits, salt, sugar, gluten, eggs, and all Alliums.) Would be nice to stock up on stuff the whole family could enjoy!

  358. My Amazon wish list is getting quite long, as I am trying hard to be frugal while unemployed. If I win the gift card, I’ll review my wish list first for “necessity” items. If none seem urgent at that moment, I’ll just go crazy & buy whatever I want instead; perhaps I’d start with a food dehydrator & a pressure canner!

    Reply

  360. I’m going through a major weight loss and would use some of this card to get myself some clothes that actually fit! I would also purchase some items to donate to Operation Kindness, the oldest nonkill shelter in Texas, and right down the road from us!

  387. A $1K Amazon gift card would be a gift for my son AJ, my brother, Marty. My son AJ has developmental disabilities and recently graduated from high school. He had had to move to KY with my brother because my work schedule was conflicting 2 days a week and his father wouldn’t help 2 days a week so that AJ could cease the oppurtunity of attending a transitional program at UofM for free, where he’d be able to learn life and job skills, grow socially, as well as educationally, so that he’d be able to maybe one day have as much of an independent adult life as possible. It hurts to have had to allow him to move away, but in KY he is surrounded by family and will hopefully be able to enter into school there. I’m so blessed to have a brother who loves his nephew so much and thankful for him helping when we had no one else to help me help my son advance in life with disabilities beyond his control. The gift card would truly help with supplie.
