When your body decides to slow your metabolism it’s all about one thing: survival! It’s not about your body trying to conspire against you and ruin your life. It’s your body making a wise decision to sacrifice long-term health for short-term survival because it’s being told to do so (usually through food/nutrient scarcity). The slowing of the metabolism allows your body to go longer on less food. The body also tends to hold on to fat as a protective mechanism, which isn't exactly what most people are going for! Ready to learn what is slowing your metabolism and what you can do about it? Subscribe below to get access to my FREE Metabolism Report: Why Your Metabolism Was Fast, But Now It's Slow:

CJ says
December 6, 2013 at 12:36 pmHaving recently taken wheat out of my diet, I’m in the process of completely retooling not only what I eat but ultimately me in the process (this excess weight has got to go)! I have discovered that I am definitely not getting in enough good fruits and veggies on a daily basis. For starters, I’d like to incorporate juicing into my daily routine and so I would like to put the money toward getting a juicer. Just taking the wheat out has been an amazing first step of many to come. I’m looking forward to continued progress toward my goal not only of weight loss but to balancing my hormones, eliminating this joint pain and living life instead of being sidelined by it. Thanks for doing this 🙂

Lauren Barchi says
December 6, 2013 at 12:38 pmThanks for such an awesome giveaway! I would likely use the gift card for the Le Creuset set, although a new vacuum cleaner is quite tempting as well!
Jannah Meredith says
December 6, 2013 at 2:44 pmThanks so much for putting up this offer. The things you guys talk about are hard to come by here in Australia, so Amazon is a life saver in being able to pick up obscure healthy items.

December 10, 2013 at 7:03 amI’d continue working to kill my H. Pylori infection naturally (here’s hoping I won’t need the antibiotics) and get some things to make life easier – like kitchen tools. Perhaps also some of the fun things that can build some craft skills that have not been in the budget! : )

Amber says
December 10, 2013 at 8:02 amThere are so many kitchen appliances that I would like to have to make cooking easier. I would love to have a sous vide, but would probably start with something less expensive like a good toaster/convection oven.
Deveney *ICanDoTheBobCatPretzel* Choquette says
December 10, 2013 at 8:18 am$400!!! Holy Shnikies…THAT would be flippin awesome. First off…I NEVER win anything (did I just jinx my chance of winning?). No, seriously. I don’t. Scratch that…one time I won a HAM at BINGO…but before everyone claps, I don’t like ham and honestly, the women sitting at my table were so angry that I won, I ended up giving it to them. Apparently when someone wins who isn’t a “regular” and doesn’t have any “lil lucky trinkets,” it’s an issue. So winning $400? I’d probably faint. Literally. Or at least scream at the top of my lungs while doing some jumping jacks. True story. Secondly, $400 would buy A LOT of cool NINJA TURTLE merchandise…I have what they call a little bit of an obsession. I’ve LOVED those green turles since I was in 2nd grade. Raphy is my favorite…clear choice for me as he is the “bad boy” of the group. Now I know most everyone else who entered said they would spend the money on something affiliated with your blog – be it a juicer or a blender or what-have-you. I’d like to think I would too…I just got into cooking and eating healthy so this is all new to me BUT I am enjoying myself. I haven’t told my family that I’m cooking yet for fear they will start asking me to bring something to family events. Right now, they don’t ask me…why? Well let’s just say because I USED to be a horrible cook. If it wasn’t burnt, it tasted like crap because I put sugar in it instead of salt or baking powder instead flour. Who knew there was a big difference? Well I do…now. BIG difference. Am I getting off topic? Whoah…probably. I do that a lot. I’m a DJ and well I write like I talk…in way too much detail and before our conversation is over I’ve told you way too much about the time my Uncle wore a YELLOW TU-TU to Christmas dinner…don’t ask. Back to the task at hand (focus Deveney), winning would be pretty flippin amazing. I would try my very best to use the $400 wisely (a stand mixer and good blender would be awesome and practical) but I wouldn’t be surprised if the NINJA TURTLE bikini and life-size Chris Farley cardboard cutout (LOVE Chris Farley too) I’ve had my eye on for the last few months wound up making it’s way to my house…don’t judge. 😉 THANKS!!!! FINGERS CROSSED! 🙂

Anna says
December 10, 2013 at 11:00 amI would buy a Gronomics Rustic Elevated Garden Bed to get a jumpstart on a mini garden for next year and finally buy a new set of pots and pans that won’t potentially leech harmful toxins into our food…that’d be wonderful : )
Torre says
December 10, 2013 at 11:10 amI would love to buy my husband a Christmas present with this. We got married in June! But have been in court to get custody of his daughter all year (and did get custody but will have to go to court again soon) so this is going to be a really small Christmas.
Cindy M. says
December 10, 2013 at 11:25 am$400 is alot…I would probably buy food related products (like Great Lakes Gelatin, Kotinos Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Meat tenderizer, Juilenne peeler, etc.) as I believe that taking care of our bodies gives up the ability to do more for others.
Erin Thompson says
December 10, 2013 at 11:32 amI would use it to buys healthier options for my family. I am really wanting to get everyone converted over to clean eating but i am dtill using what i have availablr to me in my house. It would really help the trasition
