ALIZONNE THERAPY?

(70 Posts)
Just seen this advertised in National Press.

Has anyone ever tried it?

Is it pricey?

More to the point, Does it really work?

I'm intrigued..... I had never heard of this programme before...

I have had 7 treatments now and I have noticed a difference. My husband noticed first, the comment was my bum felt like sponge cake! I think it was a compliment! That was after the 3rd week, now I have lost over 2 stone and have no baggy skin which on previous diets I would have by now. I didn't like the hoovering (think i've said that already!) but was told it gets better and actually this week I really enjoyed it, like a deep massage.

Only been going for 8 days so just had the 1 treatment so cannot honestly answer that but the treatment's are quite nice, the Ultrasound does produce a beeping noise which sounds like its coming from the back of your head but it doesn't hurt or anything (just feels slightly warm). The skin tightening is like being attacked by a dyson but again doesn't hurt.

Anyway good luck and keep us posted.

Hi MJN,
Thankyou so much for taking time to reply.
You are correct the more weight i gain ,the longer it will take to reach my goal,hopefully i will think about that for the next week.

You said that the food is nice,how about the treatment itself,have you noticed any change in your body shape and tone?
How many treatments have you had to date?

I going to a clinic in Brentwood ,Essex,i don't know if anyone else is attending that particular clinic.

Good luck eye13.

I honestly cannot believe how easy it is! No hunger, no cravings (apart from wine last weekend!), I really am impressed, even the sachets taste nice (except the pizza which I messed up and it was like slop!).

As Christmas approaches you will be feeling so much better with your figure you will not mind missing out, trust me it will be worth it.

Which clinic are you attending? All the other people on here seem to be at Glasgow, Leeds or London,I am at Congleton so it would be nice to know if anybody else is.

Anyway, good luck, don't eat too much prior to starting, just think of the extra money it will cost to lose that additional weight (I find that works really well when I get tempted)!

Hi MJN,

Good to hear from you and congratulations on losing 7lbs already!

I'm attending the Glasgow clinic and got started on the diet right away. They seem quite confident that I will lose about 21 lbs in about 6 weeks. Just in time for Christmas!!

Will get a better idea tomorrow of what the sachets are like.

It's good to know I'm not alone. Keep me posted on how you're doing. Good luck.

Hi MJN and Smiley,

Thanks for all your information it is greatly appeciated! I've phoned up the London Clinic today and I have my consultation with the Doctor on the 18th of November. I am very excited! I want to lose at least 1.5 stones in 6 weeks just in time for Christmas!

This is a really great forum for exchanging information about the treatment!

Keep up the hard work everyone that is on the diet!

Angel

Hi Lady07

Good luck today, I am sure you are very excited about starting, I know I was!

It has been just a week since I started and I have lost 7 lbs already and feel FAB!

The sachets are very nice, I must admit I am very surprized about how easy it has all been, I have found that I am not hungry AT ALL! In fact I am actually having to make myself have another meal (as it has been 3-4 hrs since the last one).

Saturday was the hardest day so far, we had a firework party for my daughters and I was cooking burgers and hotdogs for all the children and after they all had cream cake, it was hard (also resisting the wine, which I must add WASN'T for the children but my Sister!!) The thing is though, the next day you feel so much better, I was really proud of myself on Sunday morning!

Which clinic are you attending?

Hi All,

Just joined this site and delighted to find this discussion.

I am starting the Alizonne diet on Monday. I had my consultation on Thursday 5th November - 2 days after my 52nd birthday. My periods stopped 3 1/2 years ago and since then I have found myself with fat in new places and unable to shift it! I have about 1 1/2 to 2 stone to lose. Just wondering if there is anyone else around my age who is also post-menopause who has tried this diet.

Woud love to hear if it worked for you.

PS should explain what I call the hoovering sessions are the skin tightening treatments! blush
