I am so excited to tell you that my first ebook is finally complete! I have been working on this diet plan for a long time and have finally just finished formatting it so it’s all looking pretty and easy to follow. My most frequent request is that I provide a detailed diet plan for people to follow so they can lose weight and improve their health.
This book is great for people who have some weight to lose but it’s also perfect for those who have reached their ideal weight and simply want more energy and to reduce health problems and feel amazing!
My 7 day diet plan will get you back on track with a delicious, sensible eating plan that you can follow as long as you like as it’s extremely healthy. This is not a faddy diet! This book includes the kind of foods that I eat all the time to lose weight, maintain my ideal weight and feel extremely healthy.
The meals are specifically formulated to help you lose weight and not overeat, but with options for those who need to eat more calories and don’t want to lose any more weight.

7 Day Diet Plan Contents
My 7 Day Diet Plan is an 80-page full-colour ebook made up of the following:
- Q&A Section: All your questions answered about the diet including: how to save time and money while following the diet, why whole foods are ideal, what to drink and whether you need to exercise. It also includes a section on how to make the entire diet from scratch if you prefer to use whole foods for everything. I also explain how to do this diet long-term.
- Shopping lists for all the meals.
- Guides: How to make a Green Thickie, lunch, dinners and snacks.
- Recipes: Green Thickies, salads and evening meal recipes
The Green Thickies 7 Day Diet Plan is made up of the following meals:
Breakfast: A Green Thickie (Filling Green Smoothie). These are all new recipes that have never appeared on the blog before.
Lunch: The choice between a Green Thickie or my versatile salad with different daily options.
Dinner: A different cooked vegan dinner every evening served with a salad.
The diet plan is vegan, dairy free, oil free, whole foods, high raw and gluten free (with wheat options). It includes ingredients that you should be able to easily find in your normal stores without shopping in speciality shops or online.
I need YOU to test my diet plan
I am now looking for some testers for my book before I put it out for sale. I will give each tester a FREE 7 Day Diet Plan ebook in return for the following:
- Be able to complete the 7 Day Diet Plan in the next 4 weeks
- Stick to the diet exactly trying very hard not to make any modifications (and being honest about any deviations from the diet)
- Weigh yourself before and after the diet
- Complete a quick questionnaire after completion of the diet (includes a one line comment which I can publish on my website)
If you think you can commit to the above 4 criteria, then please leave me a comment below with the following information. Ensure you use your correct email address as this is the email address I’ll use to send you my 7 day diet plan. I need the following information from you to ensure I get a range of different people completing the diet.
- How much weight you have to lose (It doesn’t matter if you have no weight to lose, you can still do the diet)
- Whether you feel your health needs to be improved
- Which country you live in
- What type of blender you have. If you don’t know the brand name just tell me whether it’s a high speed blender or not
Don’t worry what type of blender you have. I need people with both cheaper and more expensive blenders to test my diet.
Recipe Testers will need the following equipment to make the food on this diet:
- Blender (to make the smoothies and sauces, any type of blender will do, the higher speed the better)
- Chopping board
- Sharp knife
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Colander or salad spinner (to wash greens and drain pasta)
- Pans of different sizes (Including a wok or large frying pan preferably and a small frying pan)
- Baking tray
- Smoothie Containers for taking your smoothies/ lunch out of the house if you need to
- Food processor (Preferable but not essential as a blender could be used)
- Potato peeler
- Potato masher
I look forward to seeing the amazing results you are about to have. If you can commit to a full week to test my diet plan, I’d love you to be a tester for me. If that sounds like something you can commit to, leave a comment now!
The deadline is Sunday 21 July 2013. I will decide my testers on or shortly after that date. Thank you so much for your comments and I’ll be in touch with everyone who expressed an interest in becoming a tester before the deadline within the next month to let you know one way or another. Thank you so much for all your interest. I really appreciate your enthusiasm for my new diet plan and I can’t wait to make it available to everyone.

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

Hi!
I would love love love to be a tester! Your recipes are always fantastic! I drink smoothies daily and am a Certified Holistic Practitioner and have run 2 Smoothie Challenge Groups recently. I am a vegetarian who leans towards veganism and have recently been experimenting with going gluten free so your meal plan sounds perfect!
1. I would like to lose 5-10 pounds.
2. My health definitely needs to be improved. I’ve been undergoing some tests recently to see if I have an autoimmune deficiency. About a year ago I had Shingles. I’ve recently been diagnosed with Raynaud’s. I need to get my white blood cell count raised. Amongst other things, I’m extremely fatigued and stressed.

Kerry Perrault says
Hi! I’d like to try your diet for a week because I enjoy thickies and vegan food. I am a 28 year old female from Canada. I need to lose about 40 pounds (I have recently lost 10 and want to lose a total of 50 pounds). I have been struggling with my weight for about ten years. I started gaining weight during university and then I had my son when I was 24 (gained quite bit during pregnancy) and didn’t commit to a healthier lifestyle until recently. I own a food processor, a Nutribullet, and a Kitchen Aid blender. I have wanted to try a smoothie diet for a while now. I feel like this is my chance!
Penny H says
I would love to try your diet plan!! I love Green Thickies!!
jacky says

I want to loose about 20 pounds. I have a nutribullet and a ninja blender. I live in the US. I feel I am fairly healthy, but would like to overcome craving scrappy food choices.
Fiona Ben Dror says
I have been following your delightful thickies for ages! The Chaos in my life at present with a massive move and holiday coming up I could do with having a food plan so I dont forget to eat and make up for it last thing before bed. I’d love to be a tester and have all the equip :)
Kimberly says
Hi, I’d love to give your e-book a whirl, and will happily give you feedback. I want to lose about 15 pounds, and hope to do it in a healthy and happy way. I’m very gluten intolerant and have been gluten-free for the past year, so I’m healthier than ever before, but know that I need to eliminate dairy as well if I’m going to really move beyond my lingering sinus problems. I live in England, and have a Blendtec blender.
Rebecca Allan says
Hi, i am 33 ,5ft 6 and nearly 14 stone so have about 3 stone in weight to lose to get to my ideal weight, my health definitely needs improving as I am starting to have problems with my back and problems with eczema due to my awful diet. I live in the north east, uk and have a juicer, high speed blender and a stick blender so am able to work with a variety of fruit and veg. I would love to test your diet as I am in desperate need for a kick start to healthy eating. Many thanks
Rebecca

Hi, I would love to be a tester. Just one thing might be a no go for us both ;) I cannot find any mangoes here :) Nope, nothere.
Debi Wilburn says
I would consider it an honor and privilege to be offered this opportunity. I have another 27 pounds to lose and seem to have reached a plateau after losing 60 pounds. I do have an Oster high speed blender which I currently use for my smoothies, both green and fruit, and have been very satisfied with it. I live in Jacksonville, Florida, USA, and I am 62 years old. Having lost 60 pounds I have been taken off of my insulin pump and have amazingly normal blood sugar tests for the first time in decades!! My goal is to lose at least an additional 27 pounds to be able to possibly come off of high blood pressure meds and to relieve the possibility of having total knee replacement….not to mention overall better health. I have already noticed a tremendous difference in my knees and other joints having lost the 60 pounds.
As far as the equipment list needed, I have everything on the list!!
Thanks for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Phyllis says
I have 50 lbs to loss. I have a Ninja professional 1000watts blender . Looking forward to hearing from you and would be thrilled to be part of the study!!!

Hello! I have been an avid follow of yours– but have not committed 100% to any strict diet. I am READY!!
1. 10lbs
2. My health is good- but like any female in her 30’s I could use some modifications. I know that some things I am putting in my body are hindering my overall health/well being, etc… I need a diet overall, and think a 7 day plan of lifestyle/diet change would be beneficial.
3. USA
4. Vitamix Blender & a Hamilton Beach to go cup smaller blender.
p.s I am willing to post before & after photos, testimonials, etc.. if need be.
p.s.s I have all of the required equipment.

Thanks for the consideration, and great work on the book!
Courtney Dunham says
I would love to be a tester! I have an Oster 12 speed blender and I also have all of the other neccessary equipment as well. I have recently lost about 20 lbs but seem to have hit a plateau. :( Perhaps this will help kick things back into action so I can lose another 20! My health has improved with the recent weight loss but there are still areas that could improve. I love smoothies, especially green ones and I like to try new recipes. I live in the US.
Nanette says
I would love to be considered as a tester. I just stumbled to your website looking for meal replacements. I’m looking to lose at least 15-20 pounds. I just purchased the Ninja Professional Blender so I’m really looking forward to trying a lot of the recipes. I live in PA and I believe my health can be improved greatly using these smoothies.

My husband and I have recently started changing our diet and added in Green Smoothies. We both are loving the Smoothies and would be glad to be part of your test group.
Jamie says
Hi! I would like to test for you, if you think that the diet is appropriate for a nursing mama. I have to snack all throughout the day so I don’t feel light headed, but so long as the diet gives options for that it shouldn’t be a problem. I have 15-20 pounds to lose to get back to pre-baby weight, I live in the USA, I feel good health wise, and I have a cheap blender but it gets the job done, if not as irresistibly as a vitamix.
Molly says
Hi!

Adriana says
I am a busy mom of 4 (3 1/2, 2, 1, and newborn) I not only want to lose weight, but am desperate to get healthy again and I know this can only come from a change of diet and lifestyle. I need to lose about 50 pounds and need a healthy kick start to my weight loss. I also feel that if I eat right and become healthier, this lifestyle and healthy habits will spread to my husband and kids. I live in the United States in sunny South Florida and would like to regain my bathing suit figure. I am a proud owner of a vitamix, which I use daily and can’t imagine my life without it.
Lonnie says
Hello,
I have recently been looking into to changing my lifestyle to raw foods/clean eating and have been doing a lot of research on smoothies and juicing. Juicing wastes too much of the healthy fiber in veggies/fruits, so my goal is more smoothies. I have lost 60 pounds, but need to lose another 60. I am 49 yrs old. I would love to be a tester.

Hannah Amora says
Hi there. Been promoting green thickies to my friends after trying it out with my son. He gained 1 kilo in just 24 days after months of trying to put him back on the weight chart pre and post open-heart surgery. Almost 1 year post open heart surgery, he’s still on green thickies for his breakfast.. :) And it’s doing him really well. :)
I would love to be one of your testers for the following reasons:
1. I myself need to lose 30-35 lbs as I am now overweight for my height.
2. Whenever I run, I feel some numbing pain at my back, it’s like some nerves are pinned due to the excess weight, which is the reason I can’t do running for now. My uric acid is also on the high level and I am lactose-intolerant to a certain degree. Lately, I’ve noticed that my energy level is low since I can’t tolerate a day without taking a nap. I can’t drink coffee that much as I am hyper-acidic as well.
3. I live in the Philippines.
4. I have a 500 watts blender.
Question, what is the baking tray for? Will there be baking done or will this just be used for preparing the ingredients? I’m asking since from the items you listed, I do have a baking tray but I don’t have an oven.
I would love to test your 7-day plan after our big move on the last week of July. Thanks!
Kirsty Cook says
Hi , I would love to try your diet. I have a big race coming up and need to drop some weight. It would be nice to try something new . Thank you x

Shari Hayden says
I would love to test your plan! I already often do smoothies and eat well most of the time, but up until a few weeks ago I was working 3 jobs and my food choices were not the best, to say the least! I would love to spend a week on this diet to kind of detox or reboot my system back into healthy mode! Weight wise I am currently 145lbs and would love to be able to lose at least 5 pounds! I have all the materials needed!
Gina says
I am a 32 year old gluten free (for medical reasons) and vegetarian. I have 10-15lbs to lose and have the ninja blender. I live in massachusetts. If you are still looking i would love to try your diet.
Thanks

Kelly Macy says
I would love to be a seven day tester. I (and my 3 daughters) usually have one of your green thickies daily. I would like to loose about 10 lbs otherwise I am healty. I use a vita mix for my thickies, carry them to work mason jars to work, have a freezer full of greens that I prep weekly for the thickies and have a smoothie counter in my home with all the tools and supplies to make a daily green thickies. Although my girls won’t be on the diet they are great testers for the recipes and I can privdie your with their feed back as well. They always give me feedback. I am from the US . Thanks Kelly
Valeah says
I would LOVE to be a tester! I’ve been on the Simple Green Smoothie Challenge since June 1st. The Green Thickies will help me get closer to my goal of 3 green smoothies a day.
I am able to complete the 7 Day Diet Plan in the next 4 weeks.
I need to lose about 60 lbs.
My main health concerns are weight loss, lower my blood pressure, and treat PCOS as naturally as possible. I hate taking medication.
I live in the good ol’ U. S. of A.
I’ve had a VitaMix for about 12 years. LOVE.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Christiana says
Hi! I would like to be a tester please!! ^_^ Here is the info you asked for:
How much weight you have to lose: At least 80 pounds, my goal is 100 pounds.
Whether you feel your health needs to be improved: Absolutely. I have asthma, which I’m on 3 different medications for, as well as some anxiety and mood stabilizer medications. I would love to be able to be healthy, have energy to play with my kids, and not be on any medications anymore! (Obviously not quitting them without doctor’s supervision.)
Which country you live in: U.S.
What type of blender you have: Ninja. It has 6 blades (3 doubles).
I’ve been drinking green smoothies on and off, but I don’t seem to have a “plan” to stick to specifically for weight loss. I feel that this would be greatly beneficial! My weight is mostly baby weight too (I gained 100 pounds with my 1st son, even though I was always sick – I don’t understand it.) and I’ve been struggling with my weight for 14 years. If you can help, you’ll be my hero. :)
Thanks,
Christiana
Sherri says
How much weight you have to lose (It doesn’t matter if you have no weight to lose, you can still do the diet) —- a minimum of 50lbs. ( I currently weight 225)
Whether you feel your health needs to be improved — of course! In the last 3 weeks I have lost about 5lbs eating “whole foods” and I continue to look for additional info on how to continue this lifestyle
Which country you live in —USA
What type of blender you have. If you don’t know the brand name just tell me whether it’s a high speed blender or not —Vitamix

Lisa Hodson says
I’ve been trying to move toward vegetarianism/veganism for health reasons over the past 6-8 months, and am finding it a challenge trying to get going from shopping and planning meals to finding recipes I like. I’m an all-in person, and I think the Green Thickies plan will give me the kickstart I need to lose 100 lbs over the next year or so. I’ve been slender and fit in the past, and want to get there again. Living in the U.S., my state is one of the most overweight in the country. At the moment, I have an Oster blender that I’ve had for years, and it’s high powered but used primarily for smoothies and pureeing soups and such. I’d be ecstatic to be a tester and kickstart a new lifestyle I’ve been struggling to implement. Thanks so much!
B Lauder says
I would love to be a tester. I am 70 years young, have been eating plant strong for 1-1/2 years, lost 30 pounds, but would love to lose 10 more and have had no luck. I am not big on exercise, but am very active in my garden and around the house. My biggest problem is that I love to eat, so surely don’t like to be hungry or feel deprived.
Amanda says
1. I could lose between 15-20 lbs. I’ve been exercising more this past year, and I’ve gained about 8 lbs of muscle but haven’t lost any fat (my pants are actually getting tighter). I’d like to kickstart some of the fat loss to see some progress.
2. My health definitely needs an improvement. I’ve been slowly trying to make better changes in my life. However there have been serious health/medical issues that have occurred in my family recently, and I would like to start living a healthier life for myself and to be an example for the rest of my family.
3. I live in the USA
4. I have an Oster blender, decent but old.
Lisa Rangel says
I would love to be a tester. I need to lose 50 lbs. For health reasons i have to lose this weight. I have a ninja blender, food processor.
Patti says
I would like to try your diet plan. I have 40 pounds to lose. I suffer from chronic pain, exhaustion and fatigue, migraines, and irregularity. I enjoy a vegetarian lifestyle, but still consume dairy and gluten. I have been considering changing my lifestyle to a vegan and gluten free lifestyle.
I have a cuisinart blender and food processor.
Thanks for considering me.

I would like to be included as a tester, please. I need to lose 70 lbs., I would like to feel more energized, I live in the US, and I own a Vitamix.
Thank you for your consideration!
Alexis says
I am a mother and preschool teacher who tends to gain weight as the school year goes on. Treats abound and I give in, because I am busy or hungry. I’d love a meal plan that I can stick to, as a part of my on-going lifestyle.
Summer is the best the best time for me to commit to a new routine, as I am able to adjust and stick to one more easily while I am not working. While I make other green smoothies, I have had the same issues with lack of satiety, and recently came across your site. I absolutely love the idea of mixing oats in smoothies for Green Thickies! I think they may be more palatable for my kids, as well!
All that to say, I would love to be a tester!
1. I would like to lose about 30 pounds.
I’m most concerned with toning up, so it’s more about my size (how my clothes fit) and less about the numbers on the scale. Simply put, I would like to be firmer and less flabby; lower numbers on the scale are a nice bonus! :) Also, I am getting married this fall and want to look my best for that day and beyond!
2. My health could definitely be improved. I suffer from migraines, skin problems, joint paint, abdominal pains, low energy, fatigue, etc.
3. I live in the United States.
4. My blender is the Ninja Pro System 1100 (1100 Watts).
Thank you for your consideration!
Lisa Laborde says
I need to lose about 60 lbs. I live in the US. I have a Blendtec and could definitely stand to improve my health. Thank you.
Tara Durant says
Good afternoon,
I am a new vegan (about four weeks), and found your website after I purchased a Vitamix blender. I live in Virginia, US. I’d like to lose ten pounds, but more importantly I’m looking to start taking really good care of myself. I’m a 40 year old mom of three, two girls and a son, two of whom (the girls) have rather challenging needs. After focusing on taking care of my family so long, I realized I need to take care of myself as well. I started making smoothies in the morning, and found that my two daughter also enjoy them. I want to strive for getting all the nutrients I should be getting every day. I want to stop feeling really tired, and sleep better at night. I want to start exercising again. So many goals! I like the idea of subscribing to a structured four week plan, because I would definitely not want to let anyone down. Too many people would like the same opportunity. Thanks for your consideration! Kindly, Tara
Deb says
Hello!
I would love to be a tester of your new book. I can definitely do it within the four weeks. I am already vegan, so no worries about cheating on that part. I would like to lose about 20 pounds, I could always be healthier, I live in the United States of America and I am the proud owner of a Vitamix.
Jeremy says
I would love to be a tester! I am a physician and my wife is a stay at home mom who also runs a home based business. We have three kids and have been married for 10 years. We are leaving on an anniversary trip to Mexico in two months. We would love to be a part of the test group so that we can look our best for our trip. Please let us know.
Jeremy says
Sorry, I forgot to list the answers to the requirements:
1. I would like to lose about 10lbs, I don’t know if my wife has a number goal in mind, but I do know that she wants to improve how she eats.
2. We both know that we need to improve our diet in general. I work 60-80 hour work weeks and with 3 kids and a home based business, my wife has so much going on, that we both are just exhausted at the end of the week. We know that better nutrition would help.
3. We live in the US, Omaha, Nebraska.
4. We have a Vitamix, the newer next generation 7500, plus all of the other required kitchen equipment needed.

Adriana says
I am a busy mom of 4 (3 1/2, 2, 1, and newborn) I not only want to lose weight, but am desperate to get healthy again and I know this can only come from a change of diet and lifestyle. I need to lose about 50 pounds and need a healthy kick start to my weight loss. I also feel that if I eat right and become healthier, this lifestyle and healthy habits will spread to my husband and kids. I live in the United States in sunny South Florida and would like to regain my bathing suit figure. I am a proud owner of a vitamix, which I use daily and can’t imagine my life without it.
Melanie says

I eat smoothies almost every day but need better ideas and accountability where my eating is concerned, for both me and my kids.
3.US (South Carolina)

Hi,
I would love to test. Still on my lifestyle path, need to continue to lose (25-30 more), goal is a healthy pregnancy. I have a Ninja blender (high end one, and hand blender) as well as a Nuwave personal blender (similar to a nutribullet). No stranger to juicing and smoothies. Can start anytime.
Thank you!
Shaz Cordner says
I would love to have the opportunity to be one of your testers. I’m a 40 year old mum of 4 currently living on the Isle of Man and I have about a stone and a half to lose. I was using your Green Thickie recipes a while back and loved them – I’d been on a low-carb plan for a few years but I’d gotten fed up having to cook everything and with the green thickies, I could leave half of one in the fridge and have it during the day when I felt hungry. And I felt fantastic on them. I have all the kitchen equipment needed though I only have a basic cheapie blender but it works just great on your recipes. Can’t wait to hear if I’ve made it :)
Angela says
I think being a tester for your 7 day plan would benefit us both! I am a 27 year old Canadian female with about 150 pounds to lose over the course of the next year or two, which means that committing to your plan will allow for quick weight loss in that seven days compared to those with less weight to lose. I am a teacher and have the summer off so shouldn’t have any issue following the plan. I love green smoothies (thickies!) and have enjoyed having them as the basis of my diet previously. I love that your thickies are easy, healthy, and vegan! I hope to follow the Eat to Live lifetyle during/following your plan and would be willing to keep you up to date on my progress following the 7 days! (It would also help keep me accountable!)
I currently use a cheap 8-speed Oster blender (which works better than the Magic Bullet I used to have and costed much less!) and have had no issue incorporating things like kale and oatmeal into my smoothies with it.
I hope to hear from you soon!
Best of luck!
Andrea says

Deb M. says
Hey there:
This is FATE. I just made a commitment to myself to begin a new way of eating that incorporated Green Thickies as a key component. I’ve been looking for an eating plan that could work for me as I try to lose some weight. Here’s the not-so-skinny on me:
1. 56-year old Female in U.S.
2. Want to lose 50 lbs. and get back to being a healthier size.
3. Have new VitaMix 7500 Pro specifically bought for Green Thickies.
4. Also have all the requisite kitchen equipment and know-how.
5. I’m very compliant when it comes to food plans — especially if it’s new to me. I’ll follow it to the letter AND keep a food diary and report back, as requested.
6. I’ve already tried several of your Green Thickies and love them!
7. I have no problem with vegan.
Finally, I’m a freelance writer and editor, and I think it would be wonderful to have a chance to help an author in this “behind the scenes” way! I’m all about supporting other writers.
Thanks, Katherine, for all your site has brought to the community so far. I hope I’m one of the lucky ones selected for your test!

Rena says
This sounds so great!
1-I am a mom of 3 small children and have 30 pounds to lose. I am working on losing that weight and this sounds like a great way to do that!
2-I need more energy to run after my little ones!!
3- I live in Israel. Therefore there are some products which we do not have here that others might have so i would need to find substitutes, but we do have mostly everything.
4- I have a magic bullet and a large smoothie blender, not so high power, but it works pretty well.
I also have a healthy eating blog and would love to share this experience with my reader, this would be so great to try!
Thanks so much!

Hello there!
As a 48 years young lady, I feel it gets harder and harder to keep fit and healthy all the while taking care of 3 kids, homeschooling and part time job!

Wishing you the best…
Caroline A. says
I just recently found your website and have wanted to try your recipes.

Elizabeth says
I would love to be a tester for your new book. I have about 50 lbs to lose. I am very interested in improving my health. I’ve been trying to increase the amount of vegan food in my diet over the last few months but I’m finding it hard to convert all the way. Your 7 day plan sounds like a great way to jump start a healthier lifestyle. I live in the USA. I own a cheap blender, nothing special. Thank you for this opportunity.

Tami says
Hi – I would love to be a tester.
I have about 20 lbs to lose.
My overall health is okay (my numbers are always good – cholesterol, bp, etc), but I don’t feel my best. I’ve been vegan for 9 years, but need to eliminate crappy vegan food. I’m tired and don’t have enough energy – I have four kids.
I live in the US.
I have a vitamix.
Emily says
I’d love to take part if you want me! I’m 27, mother of 3. I’m a long time vegan but have been struggling with it of late due to lack of control with food! Feeling pretty annoyed with myself. Feeling much older than I am. Lacking motivation in all aspects of my life. Want to do better and be happier.
1. Around 20kg
2. Yes, big time! been stuck in a rut and can’t seem to get out of it! Feeling horrible and tired all the time. And my “fat clothes” are tight on me :-( Really don’t want to have to upgrade my fat clothes…
3. Australia
4. I use my mini food processor, its a braun. I found it works better than my cheapo blender for smoothies so I got rid of my blender and just use the food processor for everything.
Karen Goslin says

Laura Gaylord says
Greetings! I have followed for site/blog now for several months as I have been trying to incorporate more green foods into my diet as well as lose weight and get fit. I would love to be considered for testing your diet. Currently, I am striving to following a more plant-based diet while limiting or eliminating meat, dairy, and wheat, although I do not have any known allergens. I already feel amazingly better.
I am 42 years old, have 2 awesome kids (6 and almost 3), work full-time as a veterinarian while I am participating in a part-time clinical nutrition residency (small animal focus). As you can imagine, time is always in short supply for me, another reason why the thickies help me out to get the nutrition I need.
Your questions:
1. My goal weight is 125 lbs. and I currently weigh 155 (have lost 6 pounds.)
2. Although I am feeling better since my current loss, I strive to feel more fit, have more energy, be more mentally fit/alert, and have the best numbers at the dr.s office (cholesterol, blood pressure, etc.) In these ways, I can improve my health.
3. I live in USA, North Carolina
4. I have a Ninja Professional and love it.
If you select me, I will follow the plan and let you know my honest thoughts. I am a student of nutrition for humans and also for our animals, and I want the best for both of us.
Regards,
Laura
Trisha says
Howdy! My name is Trisha and I would love to test your recipes and diet plan.
1. I am 5’3″ and I would like to lose 27 pounds.
2. I know my health needs to be improved. I have tried vegan off and on and keep wanting to stick with this, but get sidetracked constantly.
3. I live in the USA, in California.
4. I have a Cuisinart blender. It has a low and high speed, but I’m not sure how its high speed compares to a Vitamix. I make my own smoothie recipes with no difficulties with this blender.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sara says
Hi!!!
I have at least thirty pounds to lose, possbily 40. I am much more about health so it depends on my fat to muscle ratio once I lose the 30.
I am definitely about improving my health. I began living a mostly vegan lifestyle about five years ago and I have seen a dramatic decrease in my asthma and allergies. However, that did not stop me from getting a tumor I had to have surgically removed this past December and I’m still trying to figure out some joint pain issues that seemed to have cropped up. I have seen how changing parts of my diet can improve my life and I am ready to take it to the next level.
I live in the US and I own a vitamix. Although my favorite thickies do happen to be your dessert ones (key lime pie and gingersnap cookie), I am ready for a change and can commit to your plan. I will most definitely answer any questions for your survey.
I am so pleased you finished your book and I wish you all the best!
Sarah says
I would LOVE to be a tester!
My husband and I are both working hard to eat healthier to feel better inside and out. We are new to your green thickies. Yum!!
I am able to complete the 7 Day Diet Plan in the next 4 weeks
I am a 54 year old mother of two and Grammy of three sweet blessings
Weight 198, Height 5’9″
I need to loose about 40 lbs
I have always been blessed with good health until recently. I am going through menopause so my system has been doing summersaults. I have all the symptoms: Hot flashes, fatigue, crazy weight gain, depression, headaches, fluctuating sleep patterns and a feeling of overall BLUK!!!
I live in Alabama, USA
I have a Back to Basics Smoothie Jr Blender and all the necessary supplies.
It would me my pleasure, Should I meet your requirements.
Thank You

Natalie says
I just found out about your site, but I would definitely like to be considered for testing the e-book.
1.How much weight you have to lose (It doesn’t matter if you have no weight to lose, you can still do the diet)
I am looking to lose about 20-30 pounds (or whatever the equivalent of that would if generally getting more fit through diet/exercise). I will be 27 this week (Happy Birthday to me)–new life year, new start?
2.Whether you feel your health needs to be improved.
I definitely need to make some changes in my health. When I was younger and in sports, I wasn’t required to make any effort in terms of additional exercise, healthy food choices, or portion control to stay very slim. Now, suddenly, I’ve put over 30 pounds more on the frame/height I arrived at in high school. I’m still young, so it’s not too late to develop some different habits.
As a teacher, summer is a season when I have the time to prepare meals and run errands so that I can plan my eating. With the outside structure of your plan, I think I would be very successful because I appreciate being coached when doing something new as opposed to making up my own non-expert/non-tested plan.
3.Which country you live in.
I live in the Midwest of the USA
4.What type of blender you have.
I have a personal-size Hamilton Beach blender, but I have been considering getting something with a bit more “oomph.” Then again, I can represent for all the possible future readers with wimpy blenders… Eh? Eh?
Natalie says
Either way, I think that this e-book is going to do really well. Good luck!
Sharon Barnwell-Doncheva says
I would love to be considered, I have just started on smoothies today I have a duronic 1200 watt blender. Many thanks
Amber says
I would like to be a tester. I would like to lose 20 pounds. I think my health would be improved. I live in the US and have a ninja blender. I have lost 10 pounds in the last two month but think my current diet plan has plateaued so I would love to jumpstart it by testing your book.
THanks!
Laura Hohman says
Hey there!
I still have about 15-20 lbs I’d like to lose. I feel like Ive been on a health kick the last year and would like to continue feeling healthier. I live in the USA. I have a high speed blender, but not anything fancy. No Vitamix here :( Thanks!
Alison C. says
Interested in being a tester!
1. I have 10lbs to lose.
2. Yes, my health needs to be improved.

I would love to try your 7 days programme
I need to lose 20 kg.
I do not have major health conditions but I have IBS associated with lactose intolerance which is getting better after I became vegan
I live in Sweden
Yes I have a smoothy blender, not vitamix but it is good enough.
Abby says
Hi, I would love to test your ebook.
1. I would like to lose 5-10lbs – especially around the tummy area (who doesn’t!?)I exercise daily which should help.
2. I have no health problems, but am looking to get pregnant in the coming months so really want to clean my body up in preparation.
3. I live in the UK.
4. I have a Kenwood high speed blender
This must be a really exciting time for you – the blog is wonderful, so congratulations on getting the ebook out there as well.

Rebecca says
I hope I’m not onboard too late. I would love to participate as a tester.
I am 58 years old and need to lose 60 pounds. I have low energy, high cholesterol, and have had breast cancer three times (thought thankfully the last recurrence was 10 years ago now). I also suffer from migraines.
I live in the US and have a Nutri Bullet that I currently use to make green drinks. I don’t consume dairy, so that part’s easy. I’ve never tried the vegan lifestyle, but I think it would benefit my cholesterol.
Hope to be chosen!
Thanks,
Rebecca
1.How much weight you have to lose (It doesn’t matter if you have no weight to lose, you can still do the diet)

Deb says
I would like to lose around 40 pounds. I would love to have more energy and less aches and pains. I own a vitamix and live in Camden, MI
Barbara says
Hey Katherine… Yes! I would so love and appreciate the chance to be a tester for your diet plan! I’ve incorporated some of your recipes into my life and I love it. I am 58 and I only have a few pounds to lose but I have some issues which have made me realize I may have some insulin resistance.
I am not diabetic and even tho I have a clean diet I realize there are some additional changes to be made. What we eat makes all the difference in the world as I have reversed some issues before with just diet changes. This is exciting…I believe you may hold the key…..I take care of both of my parents so I need a lot of energy to get it all done.
I live in the South, in the USA.
I have a VitaMix which I use daily and adore!
Thank you for your consideration. I love your website and all you do! (Your story is awesome.)
Susan M says
The main reason I would like to be a tester is for accountability. Myself is just not committed enough, but committing to others is something I take very seriously. I do not like to let people down. I love your blog and I find green thickies delicious and satisfying. I feel addicted to sugar and have a difficult time feeding my husband and four children without at least one person complaining at every meal. That stress is making it more challenging for me to eat a healthy diet (I realize I eat to escape and feel better)and feel my family with everyone enjoying good food and mealtimes. I have been slowly gaining weight over the past few years and can’t believe that is my stomach rolling over the top of my pants. I want nice abs again and to feel good in my body. I want to eat a cleaner diet and be a good role model for my children. I want to feel excited to have a green thickie instead of craving coffee and cookies. I have a vitamix and this is great timing since I wanted to lose my “teenager” weight while you lose your baby weight. Let’s do this together and support each other! I am not on facebook, no blog or website and have never left a comment anywhere before. Do you think this was too long? Susan from Orlando, FL USA going for ten pounds by the end of the year.
Maggie says
I would LOVE to do this! Recipe tasting is a favorite activity of mine, and this’ll get me back on the smoothie track! I could start it right after my half marathon as a recovery week diet.
1. I’m pretty happy with my weight but I wouldn’t miss 1-5 pounds if they decided to flee. They’ve fluctuated from time to time but I’ve never detected a pattern.
2. I need more energy some days. I’m a vegan but I’m currently at a job I don’t love, so a nutritional boost would help.
3. I’m in the US.
4. I have a Magic Bullet. Also some $3-from-goodwill contraption that I rarely use.
I would be willing to test this from the point of view of an athlete (running 4-7 times per week) and a vegan. I won’t be running as regularly the week that I would plan to test the recipes, though, which means I can report back how it is for an athlete recovering from a race (half marathon). Let me know – I love testing cookbooks!
Melissa says

Forgot to say that I live in the US!
Beth Owens says

Hello my name is Emily and I am 16 years old. I would love to be able to take part as a tester for the diet. Since all of the green books cost tons of money. I overweight and exercise everyday for 4 hours. I lost 20 pounds but I need to loose 80 by December and 30 by September. Can you please help me? I am tired of people making fun of me and saying that I can’t loose the weight I want to prove them wrong
Paloma says
I would love to be a tester.
I would love to lose around 15 pounds by my 50th birthday in September.
I am new to green smoothies

Thanks
Lauren says
I just found your website while looking for smoothie recipes and I’d love to try your new 7 day plan! I probably need to lose about 15-20 pounds of fat, but more concerned with inches lost than a number on the scale… I’m generally healthy but struggling with a lack of energy. Would love to improve health and increase energy to be more active and exercise more often. I live in sunny Australia and own a blender (garage sale purchase so I’m not really sure if high speed? nothing fancy) Thanks! :)
Lisa Goudy says
Hello, thank you for your generous offer and I would be honored to test it for you. I want to lose 52 lbs and become healthier in the long run. I am a single mom of a beautiful daughter that I want and need to be healthy and around for. I have been trying to get on the green smoothie kick for a while now but without a plan I find myself lost most of the time. I live in America in the state of Colorado and I own a Blendtec blender. Thank you again and I hope I get lucky enough to test out your plan and if not I would love to buy it when I can afford it.

Jenn says
I want to lose 30-35 pounds. I do feel like I need to incorporate more veggies into my diet. We aim to eat healthy, but I find, at the end of the day, I could have eaten more veggies ! I live in Canada. I have an Oyster 16 speed blender . I’m very motivated to test run your Green Thickies diet plan!
Melissa says
Hi there,
My husband and I have very different views when it comes to eating. I am a vegetarian who tries to eat as vegan as possible with a husband and 2 kids(6 and 8) who love meat, butter, eggs and cheese. Although he understands my choices, he wonders why he is 50 pounds overweight and I am not. We have done smoothie diets and “cleanses” together with much success and he is totally on board with trying another to help him shake off some of the weight he’s put on since last summer (the last time we cleansed). I simply want to keep my health on the right path and give him some support in making better life/health/food choices. I definitely don’t want to change who he is. I just want my husband to live a long life and feel strong and vibrant as I do.
Our status:
-I don’t think I need to lose much weight, maybe 5 pounds. My husband, 50-60 pounds.
-My health is pretty good. I do crave sweets sometimes and I love french fries, but on the whole eat healthy and feel good. My husband is often tired but doesn’t sleep well. He is over weight, definitely not obese, but feels much better and more confident when he loses pounds.
-We live in Massachusetts, USA.
-We have a Ninja and an Oster.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
Priya says
Terrific Idea! I am starting a smoothie club at my office and the timing couldnt be better..

I am a vegetarian, and love smoothies. I would love to see your book and be a guinea pig :) I am from India and ache for spicy savory food, is occasional eating permitted? :) I am preparing for backpacking/hiking adventure next month and could do with more energy and carry less weight!
Uli Cotter says
I would love to try out your Green Thickie diet plan. I would like to loose that last 10 – 15 lbs I can’t seem to get rid of. I live in Pennsylvania, and have a regular blender not a vitamix ( I am dreaming of one though.) I feel I am pretty healthy, although I admit to a sugar addiction. I hope this would help. Thanks for your consideration!
Stephanie says
Hi there! I’d love to help test this diet! I just purchased my Vitamix and am PUMPED to put it to work.

I have wanted to start being healthy and losing weight. I have planned to go away next month and from april have not been able to start a diet as I have had no motivation. Browsing around looking for something that interests me and will get me started I recently stumbled on your site. I found your site very interesting as i like some fruits and vegetables and never even knew you could combine them to make nice smoothies which could sustain you. I would like to lose about 2 stone as I am 5’4 and should be at an ideal weight as I am getting older. I live in London, United Kingdom. I have a blender called Kenwood. It would be absolutely amazing if you choose me as it will give me that boost to get started but if not when you have time if you could just give me some tips I would really appreciate it. Thanks You!

2) Whether you feel your health needs to be improved: I am over 300 lbs. now and I know I need to do something to change my life. I would love to have the opportunity to test out your 7 day diet plan. I have all the kitchen products needed and I will keep both a video and written log of my progress. I don’t have any food allergies and love trying new food. I only wish I didn’t love it so much (joking but not really lol).
3) Which country you live in: United States
4) What type of blender you have: Oster BCCG08-RM1-000

amanda says
I would love to participate in this. I’m 32, live in the US, and I have 25 pounds to get to my goal weight, 15 to be much happier with my state. My health definitely needs to be improved; I just came off a 15-day cleanse, which helped, but still have a ways to go. I have chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia and have been struggling to get healthy despite recently taking on the most demanding job of my life as a high school teacher. The blender I have right now is the Cuisinart SmartPower Duet, though I am planning to buy a Vitamix in the next week.

Amanda says
Hey, I would love to be one of your testers! I’m looking to lose about 10 pounds for my wedding in a couple of months. My fiance is trying to lose about 15. My health certainly needs to be improved. I find myself eating a lot of junk food out of convenience and from not having good options to take to work for lunch. This results in me feeling tired. I also suffer from fairly regular migraines, and am curious to see if changing my diet will help with these. I live in the US and have an Oster BVCB07-Z 600 watt blender.
Natalia says
This could not have come at a better time! I was just speaking with a friend about how next week I wanted to do strictly smoothies!

2. I am relatively healthy, but would love to boost energy and maintain a consistant level of energy
3. I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I am 61 years old and have an Osterizer blender. I ate raw once for 3 days and never felt better…but then my willpower waned. I do smoothies for breakfast 2-3 times a week. I exercise 2-3 times a week and need to lose 15 lbs. I am diabetic so that makes it difficult sometimes. I would love to be considered for your 7 day program.

I would love to try out your new e-book. I’m 49 years old, 5’2″, and weight 240 pounds, so I have a good deal to lose. Been losing slowly just doing my own thing the last few months, but would like more structure and a more healthy approach. Definitely, various areas of my health need to improve. I live in the USA, and I have the Ninja complete system.
Thanks for allowing me to try this out for you – I can’t wait to get started!
James Carroll says
Hi
I found your site while researching green smoothies to help me lose weight and get my type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure under control.
I would love to be a tester for you.
I need to shed 4 to 5 stones of weight. I live in Northern Ireland, U.K. and use the blender on my Tefal Kitchen Machine. If all goes well I will upgrade to a better blender.
Fair thee well.

Thank you
Nick & Dana says
Hi
We are a 29/f and 32/m couple getting married at the end of September, and are both working hard to get in better shape. We are both strict vegetarians and drink occasional smoothies now with our Ninja blender so we think we’d be great candidates for the test program as it wouldn’t be as big a leap as it would for most people. And due to the wedding you can believe we will stick to the plan!
1. She’d like to lose 5-10, he’d like to lose 15-20 pounds over next 2.5 months.
2. We arent in terrible shape now and are strict vegetarians, but there is definitely room for improvement. We both have sedentary jobs and need to adapt to better dieting that takes that into account.
3. Richmond, VA USA.
4. We have the Ninja with all extra attachments.
We hope to hear from you!!
Eddie says
Hi,
I’d love to be a tester. I’m male and have about 1/2 – 3/4 stone I’d like to shed – mostly around the abdomen :))
I live in the UK and I’d love to have better energy and clearer skin, I also have hypertension so I’d love to see if the numbers come down.
I have both a Vitamix and a Nutri Bullet (which I bought to take with me on holiday at Christmas).
Thanks!
Sydney says
Hi! I have just recently returned to my vegan lifestyle after straying for a while and packing on a ton of weight, so I have about 30 – 40 pounds to loose overall. I feel like i need to get back into my exercising and eating raw foods, because to ease my way back into the vegan life style i’ve been eating a lot of different foods ranging from raw to cooked/processed foods, which I know is not good for me. I live in the USA and I have a ninja blender.

I need to lose atleast 30-50lbs. i have been having hypothyroid and pcos which are both prone to slow your metabolism down. i am looking for a way to turn my health around before im medicine dependent. I also just had a major back surgery and will probably have to have another one in the next year. I am hoping with weight loss it will help take some the pressure from my back. I have a five speed blender. I live in the US.

Hello, I just found your website today via Pinterest. I have about 80 pounds that I need to lose. As far as my health goes, I want to have more energy, and I want to be a good example to my 2 boys. I live in Florida, United States. My husband and I just bought a Vitamix blender last month and have been making mostly fruit smoothies in the morning. I would love to add more veggies to the smoothies and to our diets. My husband has been doing research and we are trying to adapt to a vegan lifestyle. I would be so thrilled to be apart of this study. I would like to lose weight, detox, and learn more about smoothie & vegan diets, as well as new recipes.

I have about 15 pounds to lose, I definitely need to improve my energy levels and eat mush healthier especially more veggies, I live in Canada, and own a blendtec. I really look forward to hearing from you.
Samantha says
Hi, I’d love to be considered! I’m getting married at the end of September, so have been hammering the gym for the last 4 months every day, but still don’t seem able to shift some of the weight I’d like to lose! I’m 11 stone, size 10, and would love to be down to 9 stone by the wedding, but anything would be better than nothing! My health is generally ok, but have been getting really spotty recently which apparently is because of problems with digestion, so a smoothie diet could work wonders! I live in London, and have a cheap and cheerful blender from Robert Dyas.
Hopefully hear from you soon!
Thanks
Kirsten says
Hello,
I would say I could do to lose about 5 to 10 kgs but I am more concerned about getting my health on track and setting up good habits, I currently eat McDonald’s every day for lunch it’s like an addiction but I usually have a healthy dinner but no breakfast. I have very low iron and vitamin d levels and get flare ps of th skin condition psoriasis which is an inflammatory condition so I believe changing my diet would make a drastic positive impact on my life.
I live in Australia and I am expecting my new Froothie Optimum 9400 blender on Monday and can’t wait to start changing my life!
Kath says
I would love to be a tester! I’ve moved towards a vegetarian lifestyle in January but would love to move towards vegan now. I need to lose 20-30 pounds. I’d like to try this to improve my health and see if it improves my energy level, which is always very low. I live in PA, USA. I have a magic bullet as well as a ninja. Hope I get to do this!!
Kaaron says
I would love to be a tester for your plan. I have a Vitamix and I’m in the habit of having a green smoothie most mornings for breakfast. I have 80-100 lbs to lose and I would love a regimen to give me a kickstart. I lost about 25 lbs in anticipation for a cruise I went on in March, but I’ve sputtered with fits and starts since then. I exercise 4-6 days a week so it’s really nutrition that I really need help with. I hope you will choose me. Thank you :)
Kaaron says
BTW: I live in Florida.

Andrea says
Hi. If it’s not too late I would love to be a tester for your 7-day diet plan e-book. My partner and I both need to lose 3st and can commit to all your requirements. We would be able to start in August. I have a Kenwood Multi pro blender. We live in Devon, England. I don’t think I have any health issues per se, other than having found it very difficult to lose weight, but my partner has a persistent hive-type rash and permanent indigestion/heartburn which we’re hoping a kick start with healthy eating will cure or at least help. Hope that’s all the info you need, and hope we’re not too late! My parents came to visit and I wasn’t able to reply until today.
Stephanie says
I would love to participate. I’m new to green smoothies and would love to
learn how to use them to lose weight and be healthier,
I have about 40 pounds to lose. I live in the USA. I have an Oster blender

Thanks for your consideration.
Julie says
I read your request for testers and would like to give it a try not only for my success but for yours also. I have tried just about everything else and now would like to try smoothies.
I meet all of your qualification requirements. I live in the U.S.A. I must lose weight (and would like to lose up to 30 pounds) for my health. As I have aged my weight has increased and my health has declined. I need to learn a more healthy lifestyle for my heart, thyroid and overall physical wellbeing.
Would love to hear from you!
sara says
Hi I am a dairy-free vegetarian. I could stand to lose the extra five lb so i think this 7 day diet would be perfect for that. I also have experience doing smoothie + juice fasts (my longest was 11 days).
I am in Seoul (South korea) and i have a regular blender I make my current smoothies in. That being said, my blender is able to crush ice relatively well but not as well as a Blendtec. (I have access to a high-speed Blendtec – a relatives but I do have to commute about half an hour for that. I can use this if it’s necessary.)
Dana says
I would love to test your 7 day diet!
1. I have 10 pounds to lose.
2. I am hoping that improving my diet will give me more energy and help me sleep better at night.

I have 35lbs I want to loose I have tried various diets such as fasting, food delivery, weight loss clubs and find them had to stick with as I find them too easy to “cheat” on and since having green smoothies a little more recently I would love to find a diet incorporating this and that I can enjoy! I have all the necessary bits I just need the right direction to do it! Would love to be considered!

Ashley vH-C says
Hi there, I am so happy that I found your blog today, right on the deadline!
My husband and I are vegan and looking to improve our health.
I don’t need to lose any weight, but I wouldn’t mind losing a maximum of 5 pounds. My health could be improved just a tad, as I am a sugar addict. We live in Germany and United Kingdom (sort of at the same time…).
We currently have a no-name, run of the mill blender, but it seems to do the job quite well. We do have all of the items that you require and can definitely practice the diet within the next 4 weeks.
Cheers,
Ashley
Shona says
I have around 50-60 to lose in order to be within a healthy weight range for my height.
I have previously list weight following Weight Watchers which worked, but I felt as if I was eating constantly to use my points.
I am worried that my weight is affecting my fertility and generally, I just want to feel healthier.
I am from Scotland, UK.
I have a Tefal kitchen machine blender, which is (I think!) 900w.
**fingers crossed!**
Neeko says
I would love this!!
1-I have at least 20lbs I’d like to lose.

3-I Live in the USA
4-My blender/food proccessor is a Ninja.
I would love to be able to try this before college starts back up next month!
Melissa says
Hi – I’ve been reading your website for the past several weeks and made my first green thickie this morning – I’m hooked! I have an extremely busy lifestyle (mom of 4-yr old twin boys, work full time and my husband is a pilot who’s gone often). I need to lose around 25-30 lbs, but my primary goal is to feel better. I constantly feel tired and have little energy and also have some depression and anxiety issues. I feel that many of these issues can be overcome with a healthly lifestyle. I really like the idea of green thickies as I can eat (drink) something that’s really healthy, it can be made very quickly and will accomodate my hectic schedule. I also want to establish healthy eating habits for my boys. I live in the USA (Missouri) and have a Cuisinart high-speed blender. Thanks for your consideration.
Jennifer S says
I am a middle aged female residing in the USA. I have a great deal of weight to lose. I own a Ninja Kitchen System 1200 which as the capacity to juice, process foods, make smoothies, etc, i also own all of the additional items required to follow your meal plan. I have specific health concerns that I would like to improve including those relating to weight loss, improving side effects relating to menopause and a desire to possess more energy. I am fully prepared to strictly follow your 7day plan and provide you with honest, thorough and reliable feedback. Thank you for your consideration.
Juanita Becerra says
Hi I am a student athlete currently training for triathlons. I am looking for a weight loss of 5 to 10 lbs, but at the same time I want to keep my body healthy and strong so that I can perform during practice. My team has daily practice (2 1/2 hr per day), so I could provide good insight into the portion-size necessary for people who have an intense exercise regime.
I live in the US and I have a slow-speed blender. However, getting a high speed blender has been in my to do list for a long time – this might be the right motivation to go ahead and buy it!
Jennie says
I meet the criteria, have all of the necessary equipment, own a Vitamix blender, would like to lose 5 lbs, and live in the Northwest, United States. I just sat down to write out my smoothie detox plan for this week and stumbled upon your website! I would LOVE to be one of the testers, and would give great feedback! I am a health, fitness, and nutrition enthusiast, and am in pretty good health. We eat fairly clean, no dairy/wheat, limited gluten, green chia seed smoothies most days. My husband and two little ones and I just moved across the country, and have been pretty overwhelmed lately with several big life changes coming up, as well as coming down from a very stressful past two years. I have been consuming more dairy, gluten and alcohol than normal these past two months, and am feeling it. I can’t get enough sleep, am chronically exhausted, and my IBS, migraines, eczema, and allergies are out of control. Looking to increase my energy, and ease some of my symptoms. Again, I would LOVE to be a part of this!
Trudy G says
I would love to do the diet. I need to lose 15 to 20 lbs. I have an Oster blender and all the other items you have mentioned. I live in North Carolina and am 56. I struggle with fatigue and think your plan is just what I need! Please let me be a part of your trial. Thank you
Doug Radtke says
I’d love to try out and be a tester for your 7 day plan! I been studying for my CPA exam and been packing on some pounds as accountant and would love a 7 day plan to “kickstart” health again.
Amy says
1) I probably have about a stone or more to lose.
2) I feel my immunity and energy levels need improving, which I have heard green smoothies can be very good for!
3) I live in New Zealand, having recently moved here from the UK.
4) I have a regular blender (i.e. not a specific high speed one).
Thanks for considering me to be a tester as I start out on my green smoothie/thickie journey! :)
Jennifer Swan says
Hi! My name is Jen. I have about 70lbs that I need to lose. I do feel that my health needs improving overall. I need more energy and want that healthy feeling. I live in the USA and I have a Vitamix Blender. (high speed) Thank you for considering me!!
Deb says
I know that I’m a day late, but I’d still love to be a tester if you have room!
1. 15-20 pounds to lose
2. I have a few chronic conditions (IBS & migraines) and I feel certain that changes in my diet could help alleviate both.
3. I live in the USA.
4. I have a regular blender.
Tricia says
I am so grateful to have found you today! I realize the deadline has passed but if there’s any way to still qualify for your trial, I am sooo ready for it. I am a breastfeeding mom of a 7-month old and I need a kick in the butt with my diet. I have about 10-15 pounds to loose and have relied too long on caffeine and sugar to keep my energy up through the day. I know better, I know smoothies make me feel great and energized, but I’ve gone with convenience telling myself “I’ll start being healthy tomorrow”. Well 7 months later, I’m hoping this plan is my “tomorrow”! So absolutely, I need to improve my health for my sake and my baby’s. I live in Canada and have a standard Oster blender. It’s an inexpensive one, but has always been up to any smoothie challenge I provide. Thanks again for your consideration :)

I want to loose around 35pounds but most of all want to improve my health and increase my energy…I really struggle to eat enough fruit and vegetables in my day to day diet and think that the green smoothies sound perfect for my new healthy eating lifestyle.
I am willing to commit fully to the plan and hope you will consider me…
Thank you
Adele

Hopefully, I’m not too late. I just found your site & you have answered a lot of questions from me just from your journey. I need a step in the right direction since I am just making the commitment to this lifestyle. I have 100 lbs I need to lose to be back i within my normal BMI and healthy weight. It won’t be my goal weight but I want to be healthy. I have been experiencing fatigue, headaches, joint pain, and more. I just want to be happy with me again. I’m a stay at home mom of two little girls and the wife of a wonderful husband and father. I just want to be more for them.
I’d like to be a part of your tester group if possible. I live in the USA and I own a nutri-bullet and ninja blender.
Thank you!!!

Hi,
I just stumbled across your site, but looks like I’m 2 days past your deadline. If you are in need of more testers, I’d love to particpate! I am the mother of 3 – 19, 16, and 5 and would like to lose 10-20lbs. I’ve been following the paleo diet off and on for the last year and a half, but have found I don’t eat enough greens/veggies and consumer too many nut products which has elevated my triglyceride levels (not much, but enough I noticed). I just recently tried my first green smoothie and was surprised how tasty it was. I also try to be gluten free as much as possible.
Thank you!

I currently live in New York, USA. I have an oyster blender and all the other tools you listed. Hope to be a tester as I love your recipes!

Hi Katherine. I replied to your post back on 7/14 and was wondering if you had selected your testers or if you still needed people? The best of luck and I’m looking forward to your book and hopefully having a transformation of my own drinking green thickies.

I’ve been trying your smoothies since stumbling across your blog in January. I was looking for smoothies to help with colds and flus and yours were my favorite. I have a smoothie based on your basic green thickies almost every day. I would love to be a tester for your e-book. I’m trying to make the switch to full vegan ism and your book would be a great kick start for me and my family! I have about 60 pounds to lose. I’m in the US. I have a waring pro blender.

Saw this a little late but am certainly interested in testing what sounds to be a fantastic plan – congrats in advance and I wish you much success! I am in Toronto, Canada, a most-of-the time vegan, midway through my weight loss journey – have lost 25lbs and 25 more to go. I exercise regularly and believe in plant-based fuel for fitness :)) I am in good health and am on a quest to GREAT health! My blender is a Vitamix and I do have all the other tools you have listed. Thank you so much for your inspiring website!

Hello,
I just saw this and would really like to participate.
How much weight you have to lose-25 LBS
hether you feel your health needs to be improved-Yes
Which country you live in-United States
What type of blender you have. If you don’t know the brand name just tell me whether it’s a high speed blender or not-No I don’t think it is a high speed, but it has done well with my green smoothies so far.
I have already lost 35lbs drinking green smoothies and eating whole foods, but I seem to be at a plateau and need something to kick start the rest of my weight loss.
Laura says
I know I’m a bit late with my response but I truly need to try a diet that is nutritious. I have had a migraine 24 hours a day, 7 days a week since March of 2012. Although I have been through countless treatments one thing I have yet to try is a nutritional change. I hope you consider me in your challenge as it would be interesting to see health wise what the benefits would be….I’m a chapter all by myself!!!!!!
Darsh says

Green Thickies are a nutritious and healthy meal replacement which should give you all your daily nutrition requirements if eaten in conjunction with one healthy main meal each day. For this reason they are safe to eat long term as they aren’t a fad or very low calorie / fat. There is a lot more information along with nutrition content and a basic green thickie recipe here.
