    The cost of Alizonne "treatment" must to be hard to explain as nobody can come up with how much it costs from start to finish.

    The overall cost of Alizonne depends on individual needs. There is no gagging order and it's not difficult to understand, it's just that the price varies from person to person.

    The first week costs around £450 and this includes your first consultation, bloods, a full medical, food and two treatments. Thereafter, the weekly price is £220.

    That cost is the same for everyone. It is the length of time on the diet that differs, hence the fact that a general price from start to end cannot be given. Some people may be on the diet for 12 weeks, some for 22 weeks. It all depends on the amount of weight you have to lose.
  • Does anyone know if it is possible to get financial help from anywhere to go on the Alizonne plan? I have about 10 stone to lose and am really at the end of my tether. Trouble is financially it is out of my reach.
  • Hi I have my first appointment in August I have around 4 stone to lose so will keep you posted as to how I get on. I have done a lot of research around the cost and it is clear that the more you have to lose the costlier it becomes as it is £220 per week for food, then there is the weekly blood tests so you are looking at around 300 per week.
    I am going to the Nottingham clinic as they do not offer any sort of interest free credit on the weightless treatments.
    Well done lynnechapman you have inspired me to go for it

    Far cheaper to eat more healthily and increase your exercise. You are also far more likely to keep the weight off this way.
  • However, I have a very special "thing " coming up near Xmas and was kinda hoping to look gorgeous for it, so a quick fix will start me off on the road to a more healthier lifestyle. :j

    Oh Jesus. Why are people ripped off so easily. this diet looks dangerous and doomed to fail long tern. save your money and buy good nutritious organic food and take up a bit of mild exercise if you can.
    I like to give people as many choices as possible to do what I want them to. (Milton H Erickson I think)
  • Please explain why it looks dangerous. I am about to start it myself and am very cautious about the dangers of it. I am starting as it's supervised by an NHS doctor and is regularly monitored. It looks like the right diet for me as my willpower is rubbish - on the other diets I've tried, I always seem to turn a blind eye to portion sizes etc. or have too many mistake days. On a diet like this (costly and with meal replacements) it has just enough 'sting' by the look of it. I understand what you mean about good food and exercise - I do eat good wholesome food and mild exercise but that is ok for maintaining weight and feeling healthy. If you are very overweight/obese, you need to lose weight and get down to a weight that is worth maintaining. I see nutritious food/mild exercise as an ending target, unfortunately not the means to that ending for me. I've lost significant amounts of weight in the past through dieting and/or exercise, but never enough to be a 'normal' weight, so it's always come back on as I always felt that I was still the fattest one if that makes sense. If a 20st guy loses 4st, he's still 16st right? With this diet, I hope to reach normal weight for my height, with the whole change of wardrobe etc, so I will want to stay that way.

    Sorry for the long post, I've lurked for years but I thought it's important as it costs a fortune and more importantly I want to root out any risks or trolls :)

    Somebody I know (can't mention names as they're a success story/photo on the Alizonne website) took a course of treatment and was successful.

    However, they have since put the weight back on and more besides. That's a lot of money, just to go putting weight back on.

    I think that the confidence, happiness and freedom it can bring is wonderful but I feel that this person's downfall, was they were never able to change their food habits.

    Alizonne would really be onto something if they could help with the psychological side of weight-loss.

    That said, if they have changed their methods and it brings more long-term success, fantastic news for all involved.
    Make it happen.
  • Thanks C4Tim that's really helpful. The place I've attended do offer counselling alongside it, and the different phases are supposed to get you back into normal eating.
    I plan to get down to a weight worth keeping and try and hold it there. If I start to lapse, I'll just remind myself of one of the less-than-nice sachets I'm eating instead of food... at least that's the plan. Not sure how well it will go when I meet a kebab and a few pints again...

    I'm sure that you'll be really great at keeping to the plan. :)

    When do you start the plan? I know that you'll get support from all of us. You may even help people without realising it.

    Keep us posted of how you get on! I, for one, would follow with interest (being of a larger stature myself) :T
