ALIZONNE THERAPY?

[oinker]

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...

Great ZAKO8. Ok what samples did you try. I took the chocolate desert and i made it up thick and put it in the fridge for me to have as my last meal later on tonight. I started today as yesterday was my sons birthday party. I feel ok except that you have to time all the time that you eat, i went out today and i had to bring a shake with me cause i knew that i would not get home for my next meal. I had a meal at 7am,10am,12 45,4 45,8 45, trust me it is not easy trying to fit all the meals in in one day. I pee like crazy and right now i am hungry but not long before i eat again. i do need to get some peppermint tea and some sweetener so that i do not feel so hungry . I was told after about a week i should not feel hungry i really hope not. But my motivation is looking in the mirror and seeing how fat i am. It does not help that i am due in a week and at that time i get water retention and bloating. I do not feel that i will lose alot this week due to that reason but hope that the following week will be a bigger loss.

So do you start the next day after your first treatment. We should support each other and keep track of our losses on here.

I started at 14 stones 2lbs

5ft 4in

and goal is 10st 4lbs

Time given to loss weight 16 weeks.

Hi Supermummy,

I have the tomato soup, the tea and peach drink and the potato pie. I havent tried any of these yet. I was also given some recipie leaflets and I think you can end up getting quite creative with the packs and vegatables.

I am have a few work meetings which have been planned for a while so need to get them out of the way and it will then give me a few clear weeks to get moving with the foods etc. So my first treatment planned for Friday and then will make a start on the packets on the Saturday morning.

I am 5ft 9in and need to lose 6 st. Goal being 12.5 st.
Time to reach goal 26 weeks.

I told the doctor I would love to be a Size 16 and he said we can get you to a 10/12. I was like wow dont ever know what that feels like or whether I have ever touched clothes which were 10/12!!!!

Do they do the treatment all over or just focus on certain areas at a time.

I agree we keep in touch and motivate one another to get to our goals!!

HI All, hows it goin? Ive just finshed my first day...heres a run down of events;
breakfast - chocolate with cereals....Nice
midmorning - orange drink...needs to be left in fridge to cool first! would have definitely tasted better me thinks (oh well only learning)
lunch - mushroom soup and salad, i added 5ogs of mushrooms that i blasted in the micro for 1 min and added to the soup - nice!
teatime - margherita pizza and salad with aubergine chips (from alizonne website recipe) very nice, although my hubby whose doing it too was very nearly sick re the pizza, which goes to show each to our own i suppose
Final treat (I was really struggling to get it all in) hot chocolate - really lovely!!

Ive drunk two litres of water and black coffee too, its all eat eat eat, oh and drink drink drink lol!!

hope your all doing ok, I feel a little more confident now ive got day one out of the way, here to day two.... night night!

oh p.s zaco8 re the treatments, i had the ultrasound on my tummy area but they do move it around from time to time apparently, and the contouring all over...it wasnt tooo bad the ultrasound made some bleeping noises in my ear which were ok to bear, and the contouring was just like a deep massage.

let us know how you get on, as my hubby said it felt fine :-)

Hi SunnySam

Information was very useful re the treatments.

Glad you got passed Day 1 and wish you onward success.

Very nervous about starting on Friday..

Have you all tried the Alizonne forum from the Alizonne website. That also has great support and also has a section dedicated to recipies.

Hi there
after reading all your post i am thinking joining the talk of alizonne but i fear the lost of money as i want to loose 5st in case it wont work i have booked a tour @ the leeds surgery please reassure me that it really works i am a bit scare i havr lost a lot o n those sslimming stuff thx for ur support

Hi Ulriane

I know what you mean about being scared and yes there is a cost.

I have tried many diets and have seen the results with Alizonne and also have done plenty of research so feel confident this will work. I am sure when you go to the Leeds surgery you can discuss any queries with them and also be more confident once you have met the team.

I know I felt more confident once I attended the clinic

Good Luck

hello everyone.

Today is day 3 and i have tried different things. I got myself some sweetener and some rhubarb and some herb teas. I will cook the rhubarb and have it with my dinner tonight as a desert . You can eat as much rhubarb as yo can stand but i must admit it is quite filling. I noticed that i have been eating the meals wrong so i will correct that today. I had the snack as my last meal when it should be snack then dinner. But i am not used to eating dinner so late that means that i will be having dinner at around 8 at night.

I weighed and already lost 4lb in tow days which is not bad and yes as i guessed i came on so to be at the time of the month and still lose to me is quite good at least i know that at my weigh in i will have lost 4lbs which to me is great.

My meal plan for today is
choc desert for breakfast with peppermint and nettle tea

Snack caramel drink
Lunch
omelette with salad peppermint and nettle tea

snack
vanilla desert

dinner
omelette with broccoli mushroom and tomatoes rhubarb stewed with canderel and cinnamon with peppermint and nettle tea

That should hope fully carry me through the day i was going to exercise today but i feel that i should not as it is the start of the fact that i am on and that i need to get through week one. Sunday will be my official week one day.
got to go and weigh and get treatment on Thursday which i am looking forward to. the ares that i am focusing on at the moment is the backs of my legs and my back as i have a load of back fat there. i would love to see all that gone my back fat i hate it so much.

So here's to another day and i feel ok but last night i was starving had another sachet as it was so bad but now i have sen my mistake i guess i will be ok tonight.

hello ladies, i start with my consultation today and really excited-i have 2 stones to lose and hoping this should take not more than 8-10 weeks...just keeping my fingers crossed-all your posts have been very inspiring and i think i can do it too - these 2 stones have stayed with me for years now and the weight doesnt budge!so heres the last straw...i will keep you posted on my progress hope to start tomorrow after my consultation today as i already did my blooods yday to avoid losing a day...

Hi all
Thx Zak08 4 ur reply it really helps
i am waiting for my finance to be sorted then i start with alizonne hopefully in two weeks i shall be in and gud luck to u all

my treatment got canceled i hope that it does not affect my weight lost. but now i am so hungry.

Just on my way to the clinic to get my first treatment!!

Had a tough couple of days at work so hope that does not affect me mentally!!

I will make a start on my packs from Sunday so here goes !!

How is everyone else so far.

good luck zac i hope that you have a good treatment well i weighed today and i have lost 8lb. so i am happy about that and i am now in a routine. i will weigh again at home next friday as i do not go in for treatment until the 11th. But i am screaming out for some pizza. Your treatment will be fine and on sunday just stay focused as the first week is the most challenging but you just have to keep going to the forum and on here where there is alot of support. You will be ok the scales at home keeps me motivated as long as i do not put on i am ok i cannot see the difference yet but i guess when i get to 13 stones 2 lb i may see a difference as then i will have lost 14lbs. but i start the gym on monday so that may make a big difference to my weight loss i just want out of phase 1 and i worked out that i will not complete this diet until the 17th of december.

Hi Supermummy,

First of all well done 8lbs is a great loss!! Keep it up. What times do you eat? I need to plan what to eat when as I think this will help my daily routine.

I agree the first week will be the worst and hopefully all will be ok and I can keep strong. I will want to complete this diet asap!! I think if I go by the weeks
predicted for the weight loss the I will also finish by the end of the year!!

Well I had my first treatment today. Was very surprised. The Ultrasound was ok apart from the beeping noise which was annoying and the "hoovering" was actually like a deep massage so I didnt mind it. Collected my foods and my supplements although I have to change one of them as it has gelatine in it and I cant take it. So the clinic is looking into it and will exchange this for me but it means I wont be able to start with the foods until Monday. Oh well can only prepare myself psychologically a little more until then.

Oh that is sad. The sooner you start the better . Then we can both be done in time to enjoy christmas and the new year. Just imagine at the start of the year the mags are full of diets and plans for people to lose weight and we would have already done it and what s more at the new year we will be able to fit into that little black dress. Oh and i know that i will be going to karen millen for the tightest dress and the highest heals thaT I can find. And whats the best is that we can shop for our knew clothes in the sales.

i am going rock climbing with my son tomorrow so that should be good as i am 8lbs lighter. i really cannot believe it 8lbs in 6 days thats so weird. Next week i have a mad week exams to revise for house hunting and forms to fill in ect but i feel good about it all because i know that-it will take my mind off eating and keep me focused so that the time flies by. i treat every day like its my first day and just put the prevouse day behind me knowing that i have done it. If some weeks i lose no weight i am not bothered just so long as i do not put on but i noticed with this diet you lose every week even if its half a pound.

The first week just take your time to get into the routine of taking the sachets on time then try and get some exercise in even if its 30mins this should speed up the process so that you can like me fly through phase 1. Oh and eat rhubarb as its unlimited and its keeps your bowls regular and i read today that it also speeds up your metabolism. (ib read that on the internet so do not quote me)but it does fill you up.

THE FIRST DAY
you may find that you get really thirsty and please stay near a toilet as you will wee alot well i did. but with me once i done day one i knew that i could do it and there is no turning back.

sorry about the long post but anything to keep me out of the kitchen

I agree to the shopping part so much I will join you ahhh the thought alone brings a smile to my face!

I have already started the regime of drinking more water.

I may do some experimenting with some veggies on sunday as I plan ahead.

I forgot to ask you which clinic are you at? I am at London and the tube probably made me lose a few pounds before I got to the clinic as it was so
hot!!

I am at the london clinic and i do agree. I am going to bed now as i am still hungry and tired . I notice that i get hungry at night time. The calcium tabs is like a treat.

Tummy feels a bit sore today

Has anyone else had these symptoms following treatment.

Althought it could be first treatment combined with TOTM

I think it is where did you have the plates put. I guess its the time of the month as well hope you feel better. And good luck for tomorrow. I am on here and check all the time so any support you need i am willing to give you and anything that i do find strange i will let you know

.i did not get a treatment this week as my therapist was sick so i hope that does not affect my weight loss but i have one on the 11th i am doing my back and sides and the back of my legs . Then on week 4 i want to do my tummy and my hips for 4 weeks and if there is still fat on my back i will do my back again for 4 weeks and another part of my lower today. The thing is my treatment is at 8 oclock on thursday so i am going to really adjust my meal and have six in one day as i will also be going to the gym in that day as well.

I have the plates on my tummy area

My problematic areas have always been big boobs and tummy but as they cant put the plates on the boob area I am hoping with the diet they will shrink. I live in hope.

How do they apply the plats to the back and tummy. I guess not at the same time.

Day 1 - Or I guess progression into day 1 is going OK.

Breakfast - I had the vanilla desert - Not going to be my favourite I can tell although smells nice so may have to reinvent this

Snack - Peach Drink. I would have preferred this a little colder than I made it was bearable. I drank it quickly just so I can get past it

Lunch - I was out so had a large salad which was nice as it made me feel part of the squad.

I am not hungry but I know I am not drinking enough water so I have to muster a plan that each time I go to the kitchen I drink a glass of water.

Roll on Dinner - Brought a nice selection of veggied so will pile them high with the potato pie

try put the desserts into the fridge what i do is make up the desert then put it into a glass in the fridge and leave it until your next meal it tastes totally different. you can make it thick. and let it set.

i am so hungry going to have my dinner and as i am going to work out set a desert to have later.

Hi all, I am starting the diet on Friday at Southampton clinic. I can't wait to get started but at the same time I'm very apprehensive! I have been reading the chat for a few weeks and I like how every one supports one another. I'm not very adventurous where food is concerned so will be very appreciative of any tips. Looking forward to Friday, I think!!

Good Evening All,

I made the potato pie. I dont think I prepared it properly and the smell really put me off so I ate it in the thought of my Size 12 dress I will be getting into in a few months!! I had a big bowl of vegetables which were nice. But might have to add plenty of flavours or chilli to hide the smell and taste.

Welcome to the forum Lindylou2 - Good luck for Friday. Treatment is fine. i am on Day 1 so just getting started but there is a lot of support here and at the clinics. Kepp in touch and we will all get through this togetehr.
