I have a cousin who is looking to start IP but not living close to me. He asked me what my start up fee was and he was totally shocked because the place he had inquired about was almost 2x what I paid and the weekly food (3 boxes) was also more than what I had paid. I guess there are some differences in what some clinics charge. BTW the place I the Dr. said he was giving me a after holiday discount of $350 which included the starter pack (one week of different packets, vitamins, shaker, salt, journal and a bag) and then weekly food of 3 boxes was $82. I'd like to see what others are paying so I can advise her. Thanks guys and gals..
My first week cost was $300 and included everything that your clinic did (packets, vits, shaker, salt, journal, bag) and then the weekly cost was $84. Vitamins were $18/bottle.
My first week was $162 which included coaching fee for the duration, one week food, bag, journal, one free packet, shaker, and potassium only. I then purchased my own multi vitamin and cal mag (that I took with me and coach approved) for an additional $50. So overall it was $212. My coach normally charges $100 for the fee but had run a 50% off special in a magazine that I saw.
I think my clinic is pretty cheap though... I looked at another one that is run out of a chiro office and it was either $350 or $450 to start. I can't remember. And then both clinics are $84 a week for food.
My first month was $440, that included 1 months food supply, shaker, salt, and all supplements. Then multiply that by 2 because my husband did it for a month and then went to phase 2
The initial "one time" consultation fee at my doctors is $300, however since I have been going to her since Feb for other reasons, she only charged me $250 for the one time administration fee
Then I paid $112 for 28 packets of food that I did not pick, they picked a sampling of 28 for me. Then $84.16 was the cost of the vitamins/pills,sea salt, shaker.
My first visit was $250.00 which included consultation, one week food and vitamins. No shaker, no salt. (bought my own). A journal was never mentioned. I paid $94.00 per week for 3 boxes of packets that I chose. I have since went to alternatives and am ecstatic. More food choices, better tasting, and around $35.00 a week instead of $94.00. Still in ketosis, still feeling great, and still losing weight.
My consult was $280, this included one weeks food, supplements and shaker. I pay $87.00 a week for my food (this includes a bottle of WF dressing each week).
I went last night to my local clinic and it was $294 for me. This includes 7 days worth of food. I received a slight discount because my husband signed up as well. My mom went to a different clinic and she was $320 or so I believe but she was given a number of tests and receives daily emails from the coaching staff.
For me it was $260 for the first week (included consultation, food, vitamins, salt, journal, shaker, etc). Each week since has been between $80 and $85 for food.
Average cost to start the IP program?
