Over the years, I had been eating ‘on the run’ by frequently grabbing a diet soda and protein bar. With Linda’s help, I am now back on track to eating healthfully with real foods. All of my aches and pains disappeared with my successful completion of the 2 week Smoothie Shakedown™ followed by Linda’s personalized clean-eating plan. Amazing.

Linda is truly professional, knowledgeable and caring. Her personalized advice and help over the internet is a unique service since I was unable to find this kind of help in my local area. It is definitely like having one’s own personal food coach to work with. My whole family is benefiting from Linda’s assistance with food choices and meal planning!

I have been able to lose 13 pounds and 18 1/2 inches on the Smoothie Shakedown! It was incredibly easy to do when I had Linda (the Meal Planning Maven) planning everything out and coaching me along the way. I have PCOS & Hypothyroidism and thought it was going to be a lot harder & extremely slower to get this weight off.

I loved the Shakedown! I was never hungry between the meals and snacks as the shakes are so filling and long lasting, not to mention they taste awesome and gave me incredible energy! And with Linda's easy to follow menus, recipes & shopping list for the other meals and snacks, I have really felt like I haven't had to do anything other than cook & eat! Her recipes were simple to make and the food is so delicious. She was always quick to answer any question and offer encouragement when I needed it. I've still got a ways to go, but with Linda's help, making my goals will seem to take much less effort. I've recommended Linda to all my friends, and I know I would not have gotten this far without her!

I am a small person at 5’3” so any extra weight shows up almost immediately. Recognizing I needed to do something different with my diet to lose the few pounds and inches that had crept on and would not go anywhere....no matter what I was doing. So, I was surfing on the web at the Fat Flush websites and “met” Linda Shapiro, a.k.a. Meal Planning Maven. I immediately gave her a call since I could speak to her about my issues which was a blessing.

I began the Smoothie Shakedown on November 16, 2011 and began Food Coaching with Linda. After 2 weeks, I lost 5 inches and 2.5 pounds. I was so surprised and very motivated that something was happening!!! After the 2 weeks, I transitioned into Phase 2 of The Fat Flush Plan with Linda's support. Even though I was a little reluctant to start adding more foods to my diet, by December 30th, I lost 1.5 more pounds and 3.5 more inches!!! I was ecstatic!!!

I feel so much better, clothes certainly fit better and I'm happy with my progress on the Shakedown and Fat Flush. I will always stay with the plan because I know it works even when you slip up or have a bad day....I can always get back on the Shakedown for a couple days and everything is back to normal.

But the best part is working with Linda, who is fabulous....I feel like I've known her all my life....always look forward to our chats. If it wasn't for her, I would not have been successful. I've learned so much, and always want to know more. She is the BEST!!!

In just 2 weeks, I lost 6 pounds and 6 3/4 inches on the Smoothie Shakedown! I suffered with bloating, moodiness, night sweats, cramps and irregular periods for months. The Shakedown took care of all these symptoms.

Meal Planning Maven made the Shakedown a CINCH! Having the great tips from Linda Shapiro, while I was doing the Smoothie Shakedown was priceless! She gave me simple tips that my busy and simple mind could not think of and found each conversation to be filled with so much great knowledge that I could use before, during and after the Shakedown. Glad I let Linda lead the way and highly recommend her!!
