It was THE best program that I have ever done - I literally could write a book on what not to do with regards to weight loss because I’ve tried them all but the small tweaks that this program offers made all the difference. Have highly recommended it to friends and will follow the plan ongoing!

The Aston RX 28 day program weight loss really works! As long as you stick to the program. I reached my goal weight after the 4 weeks and planned to lose the rest on the maintenance. It is such a simple process to follow and understand with lots of yummy recipes to keep you motivated. There were definitely tough moments but having the support on the community support forums and extra guidance helps pull you through. Apart from being nearly 10kg lighter, I feel a sense of clarity and am loving the healthier version of me. Thanks Aston RX team, I will definitely recommend your program. Dianne

AstonRx claim to provide a gut health program which after 28 days will leave the participant with improved gut symptoms and less inflammation through diet, prescribed medication and a customised program while being supported throughout.
None of these things took place for me, as someone who has suffered with gut issues for more than 15 years and has tried everything, the program offered by AstonRx is not customised, it is generic and no due diligence is done to understand their clients individual circumstances, of which a 15 year history is significant and it’s actually pretty negligent not to ask.
At the end of the 4 weeks I obtained no real improvement, and I learnt I probably wasn’t going to have any improvement anyway due to the chronic nature of my condition - but I wasn’t told this to begin with.
The team reached out to see how I was progressing at the end of week 1, when I asked a few searching questions I was immediately passed onto the business owner. Our interactions were respectful and I gained some insight, we left it there and I expected to hear back maybe the week after to check in, seeing I was conversing with the face of the business and had raised a few grievances.
There was no contact at all, I waited one week until after the program ended which was almost a month later. So I contacted again to express my frustration at which point there was admission someone with longer term issues such as myself is very unlikely to experience any improvement at all following the program - great to know, maybe you should have told me a month ago? Why would you have left me be for so long when you knew my history and that I was not experiencing any improvement? Also, can you imagine how I felt after completing my 28 days and then be told by the way this was never going to work for you?
My concerns were responded to promptly enough but not really addressed, just simply noting I was ‘unhappy’, and issued a refund without me asking for it, but through my interactions with the business I felt they seemed keen to move me on, making their claims of support ‘in health’ seem very insincere.
The program would give results for weight loss - I lost weight - the diet of eating 3 times a day with 150gms of protein and 2 to 3 cups of veggies a day makes sense, but it’s hardly science. Anyone who eats like that will lose weight and it’s hardly worth the value. I also didn’t feel the diet was catered at all to me personally with foods I have tried and potentially may not agree with me, the diet just turned up one day. They do a test prior to you beginning but there is no conversation about your history.
So for anyone who suffers any long term or degenerative issues avoid as AstonRx aren’t equipped to help or support you. AstonRx put everyone in the same box and if you don’t fit the mould they can’t assist, and when you question the methods they just move you on - the notion of health and support for this organisation only apply when things are working in their favour.

This diet has really changed the way I want & Ithink about eating.
I have lost 8: 5 kg in that 28 days amazing!
I have signed up for another month to loose a few more kg.
The support is a phone call away, forums from Donna is a must to watch. The recipes are yummy, filling, so delicious.

I really enjoyed the 28 day program and found all the support from Donna and her team incredibly helpful. I am well on my way to getting to my goal weight and it has been the easiest to stick to of any that I have tried (and I have tried a lot!) Any time I had a question that was not covered on the forum I could email and the response was always very quick and helpful. So yes it is an online program, but you are so not alone on the journey. There is a large amount of information contained in the program on your daily dashboard as well as a LARGE video library full of information on health & nutrition, exercise and recipes and more! Understanding why I am eating (or not eating) certain foods and the science behind the program makes such a difference - yes "Donna says no" is part of the program - but you understand why she says no and the consequences of ignoring her advice. It is a lifestyle not a diet and definitely sustainable moving forward.

I had been wanting to try Aston RX for years & I was thrilled with the results. Website was really easy to follow (these things are really important in high disciplined times!) & full of information.recipes, videos to keep on track. I was full after every meal, & although it was hard to break old habits the first few days (addicted to chai & almond milk & banana yogurt smoothies were hard to let go of) once committed & understanding how the process works, it was not hard to maintain. I lost 5 kilos in the 28 days which has been the headstart I needed. It's strict, 3 meals a day, no snacking or alcohol, (I started in December 28 peak feasting season & it was doable) but once you understand the science behind it, the discipline to stay on track is natural & weekly results are obvious. Preparation is key, buy the full shopping list, all the veggies on your list, view all the recipes & make up the harissa, mayo, & a few other condiments to have with your veggies daily. I was able to prepare the same base meals for my husband & 17yr old son by adding extra things to theirs & happily sticking to my version. I feel much healthier & lighter in general after the 5 cups of veggies a day & organic protein. It's impossible to not feel better in general & want to maintain that. I was slow on the 3x weight training per week (sooo easy to do at home) which set me back a little bit by the end of the 28 days. Also despite walking dogs daily, I probably walked under the recommended 8000 steps per day. I was already naturally skipping a few meals a week from feeling satisfied so when the allocated meal skips were introduced it wasn't an issue except it would have been super helpful to be able to see these in advance on a 28 day grid rather than have to scroll through each day to find them -I would have been able to prepare myself better to do them & fit into my work, social & appointment schedules. As it turned out I had to switch it up myself- if I couldn't skip one on the day I did it the next day etc but I think its optimum to stick to the planned skips. I have reset the way I eat, stopped grazing, always eat veggies with every meal & anything I do want extra I eat with the meal. It's a welcome relief to calorie counting which i was SO OVER after years of doing this to not much avail.
3 weeks after the 28 days I have maintained my 5 kilo weight loss despite carefully adding back into my diet some of the things I ate before because once you've stuck to the basic principles of ASTON RX & worked hard for the 28 days - its much easier to be disciplined & keep going. I have another 10 kilos to lose & am staying on the maintenance program & starting the weight training & increasing my steps for a month to slowly lose than amount over 3 months. Take advantage of Donna's no nonsense approach, best & most effective reset Ive ever done, staff were there to answer questions anytime & were lovely & helpful through the process. I don believe in diets philosophically but I believe the body struggles carrying excess wight, Ive tried every healthy weight reset available over the past 6 years of peri & post menopause developing Hypothyroid & Hashimotos & a range of immune issues which didn't need to happen & made it really hard to lose the extra weight gained during this time - I wish I had done this 6 years ago, the blood tests would have picked up my thyroid issues instead of them being dismissed as menopause issues & although I was a healthy eater in general, the ASTON RX routine could have prevented things developing as they had. Cant recommend it highly enough. The cost did hold me back when I first saw it years ago & I kept trying to just do it on my own but results were WORTH EVERY CENT & the ongoing ability to maintain the principles worth it. Truly cannot recommend highly enough! Anna.

To be honest, before starting the program, when I looked at myself in the mirror, I was a little sceptical that I would ever be able to lose my Covid lockdown weight and feel healthy again.

After the first week I stepped on the scales and had already lost 5 kilos, which really motivated me to keep going.

Overall I lost 9kg and was almost back to my regular pre-pandemic weight. It feels good to be free from my daily sugar addiction and constant snacking.

I would highly recommend this program to anyone wanting to reset from their bad eating habits and get themselves feeling lighter and healthier from the inside out!

Thanks Donna and team x

A bit of a system shock, but only because I had so many bad habits. A great program for those that need help with accountability and self-discipline. The forum is great to ask questions and for participants to share tips. Lots of recipes provided, so my cooking has also improved. Useful articles and videos. Webinars to hear aspects of the program explained and the chance to ask questions.
My aim was to lose 5kg in the 28 day program, so I was very happy losing 6.7kg. I will move forward with some good habits and feel positive that I do have control if I choose it.

This program has been life changing. I have been supported by the team with replies to any questions I have asked. This program starts you with other new members with their own weight loss goals and allows you to share and read their questions and answers along the way. I haven't quite reached my goal weight yet, however I am very proud that in 8 short weeks I have lost 14.7kg. It is not only about weight loss, however also to give myself the time to be kind to myself by reading and listening to the information provided each day which can be used to motivate or simply remind me "why I am doing what is suggested to me'. Donna Aston and her team are available to support you on your journey, the real question is - Are you happy with how you feel in your clothes and if not, are YOU ready to make the commitment?

I don’t see this as a diet. I see it more as a program that help you to learn how to live a healthy life and become the best, healthiest version of yourself that you can be. I not only lost 6 kilograms, I also gained knowledge that will continue to assist me. I’ve just moved over to the maintenance program so that I can continue to access the support, tips and recipe ideas the ASTON RX continues to offer.

Making the decision to do the program is the hardest part but once you commit you will not regret it. If you follow the advice and use all the tools they give you it is easy to do. The food and recipes are so tasty and easy to prepare. I’ve lost a total of 12kgs in 9 weeks and have learnt so much about my body. Feeling great and know this program is sustainable for life long change. Would highly recommend.

AstonRx has been remarkable
The support and information shared gives you the tools to manage your food intake, exercise and health The science makes sense
I’ve lost 3-4kg here and there over the last 10 years by following Paleo, keto, low carb and pushing physical exercise but AstonRx is a game changer and allowed me to lose 8.5kg and feel bit like my former self.

Wow is a bit of an understatement when speaking about my results after doing the Aston RX 28 day program! It only took 5 days to see some amazing results and by the end of 28 days my health, fitness and weight loss were on an awesome new path that I know I can now keep on doing for life! Thank you Donna) I am blown away with my results and also the incredible caring and support I received from you and your staff. I totally recommend this program for anyone who wants to get their health back on track for all the right reasons! Cheers Claire

Life changing - worked so well and it was easier than I expected. Tried WW, Noom, you name it. Donna Astons program was great and set me up for long term life style changes. Highly recommend.

I cannot recommend the Aston RX program highly enough. I lost 7.3kg in four weeks and lost 10.5cm off my waist despite an injury having interrupted one week's exercise regime. More importantly, my overall health has improved and the structured approach that comes with the program along with the daily education has provided me with a valuable blueprint moving forward - a new approach to food and consumption that never leaves me hungry. In fact, despite controlled portions and restricted foods, I now get full a lot more quickly and my gut health has noticeably improved. Sure, I occasionally reminisce about inhaling spaghetti carbonara but the power of the weight loss results helps to fade the appeal of that memory.

It's not the cheapest of programs but it's certainly worth every cent when considering what it offers and what you walk away with, not to mention Donna and her staff readily answering every question swiftly. I have absolutely no regrets or misgivings about the program save for not having started it earlier. Needless to say, I've moved onto the maintenance program which comes at a monthly cost of a decent cocktail. Do the maths people!

The Aston RX program is truly transformative and a keeper. Thank you Donna and team!

Very happy with the results, you must be aware that this is a self managed system and must be dedicated to the cause. Whilst I lacked a little in the exercise due to work commitments I stuck to the food intake and lost a total of 9.2kgs. It has definitely changed my eating habits and I look forward to what’s ahead. FYI the first 2 weeks are hell! Thank you.

I was nervous to start this program. I didn't know what to expect and when you see the results people have acheived I assumed it was going to be tough. Really tough. NOT AT ALL! Not for a second did I feel hungry or that i was 'missing out'. The recipes are delicious and really easy to prepare. A lot easier than those ready made meal kits you can buy. The support, guidence and advice was invaluable. Not only did I lose weight, but my biggest acheivement as a women heading into menopause, was to reduce my waist by nearly 20cm in 28 days. Now, that is an accomplishment. I am in the healthy range now around my middle. If you are thinking of doing it, do it. The on going maintence program means that you are not left to wander in the wilderness after your 28days are done. The support and guidence (as well as the receipes!) are all still there for you going forward. Get on it, you will not regret it.

This program simply took the guess work out of weight/body fat loss. I had a pretty sound knowledge of exercise and nutrition but not enough to put it all together. This program 100% works and I have new knowledge that I can continue to use.
