GOLO for life!

By Donna S., Oklahoma City, OK, Verified Reviewer

Like so many of us, I had been on every diet and even though I lost weight on most every plan, when I went back to my old habits, I would typically gain back everything I’d lost and a few more. I always went back to my old eating habits because the diet plans I tried weren’t sustainable. I thought I knew how to eat right and that I didn’t need help from any program. Then I was in my mid-60s with high blood pressure, borderline diabetic, felt terrible and weighed almost 210 lbs, way too much for my 5'2" frame! I figured I’d never be able to lose weight at my age much less get healthier.

Then I saw a segment about GOLO on TV and GOLO member Dawn Duty, who was my age, talked about her weight loss journey. The GOLO spokesperson talked about how the program was developed, all the work that went into developing the program and the Release Supplement. I ordered and I’ve never looked back. GOLO is not a diet for me. It’s a new way of life. It’s healthy eating, balancing proteins, carbs, fats and veggies. You eat whole, natural foods, not prepackaged or highly processed foods. You can eat bread, pasta, potatoes, proteins, things that many plans limit or omit completely. I’ve been GOLO for just over a year and have lost 65 pounds which may not sound like much but I’ve gone from wearing a size 1x-2x (18-20) to size small and 6-8. The transformation in the inches I’ve lost is remarkable. But the best things for me are the health benefits. I’m no longer in danger of needing to start diabetes meds and my blood pressure is no longer in the 190/90 range. This morning after a 3-mile walk, my blood pressure was 112/71! Yes, this former couch potato takes a 2-3 mile walk every day!

Another fantastic thing about GOLO is the support system. There are coaches available to answer questions and help you navigate through the program and there is a Facebook group full of members who love to help encourage each other, offer suggestions, recommend recipes, etc. I am GOLO for life! If you are serious about improving your health and losing weight, I hope you will give GOLO try!

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Total health transformation

By Michael A., Atlanta, GA, Verified Reviewer

While struggling with weight gain since childhood, GOLO has transformed the way I eat, the way I feel, my weight and shape, and has transformed my health.

After seeing the TV ads, I began GOLO in late February 2020, with a need to lose 30 lbs. I followed the plan closely and took the Release supplements. By late April 2020, I lost my 30 lb need. I already had an annual physical scheduled with my physician. The results were that all my blood work was improved from the year before, and my doctor took me off my blood pressure medicine.

Additionally, I felt so much better from eating clean, that I have restarted my exercise regimen, which now includes running and cycling multiple times weekly.

For literally the first time in my life, I’m not eating processed foods, no more sodas, and I’ve been learning to cook with the suggested meal plans that GOLO provides.

In every area, my life has been bettered, and I have the experts at GOLO to thank. I couldn’t be more pleased with the way I feel and the way I look.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A Plan for Life

By Deb Slough Nusbaum, Verified Reviewer

My husband and I have been on GOLO for a little over a year now. What an amazing product. I have lost over 70 pounds and my husband has lost weight also.

Not only do we eat better, but we sleep better and have so much energy. We look better and we work out and run circles around our friends who want all the preservatives and nonsense they add to our food.

Personally, when I started GOLO my A1C was 10.0 and in less than a year it dropped to 5.7. All the lab work is great and I was able to share with my physician about the GOLO way of life. I have lost over 10 inches off of my hips, 8 inches off of the waist.

I feel alive, and love all the recipes that are available on the Website. And I must give a shout out to the awesome coaches at GOLO. They are very supportive. I have a whole new Facebook family with the connection to GOLO.

It feels great when people say “Wow you look great”. It radiates from the inside out.

I have been struggling with my weight my whole life and this had worked for my husband and I.

You also must do your part to make this successful, it is not enough to just take a supplement and do nothing. The weight did not go on overnight and it will come off in time.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Bad side effects

By Rebecca M., Knoxville, TN, Verified Reviewer

I had to stop taking GOLO Release as it gave me tinnitus. My ears started ringing and my head felt like it was in a vice. When I quit taking the GOLO, it went away. Kind of scary.

Hi,

GOLO has no clinical or ingredient historical evidence that would associate GOLO’s Release® to tinnitus. There are, however, other factors that can cause this condition both short and long-term. Although we cannot offer medical advice, the link below offers more information.

Horrible hot flashes

By Jessica D., Battle Creek, MI, Verified Reviewer

Ever since starting GOLO, I have had unbelievable horrible hot flashes. Yes, I am following the diet and exercise recommendations. There is a private group on Facebook that they recommend you join to see others' stories and to get advice. I asked if others got hot flashes and if they got better. The moderator posted my question, but then deleted comments and stopped others from commenting.

That is not a good look GOLO! This company seems extremely scammy. Just look at the response others have gotten in the reviews on this page. It's actually quite disgusting. I will be getting my money back because the hot flashes are just not worth it. Especially if hot flashes are very common, but we are not allowed to talk about them or anything negative. Stay far away from this dangerous pill.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Private Facebook group scam

Company Response from Golo, LLC

Apr 26, 2022

Hi Jessica! I am sorry that you feel that you had a bad experience in our private Facebook group. Because this group is a GOLO managed page, we cannot allow discussions that give medical advice. This is the reason that the comments were turned off on your post after the GOLO answer was given. We do this to keep our members safe. I can give you more information about hot flashes during weight loss, but we always recommend that you consult with your healthcare provider to discuss your personal situation. Hot flashes are most common in women before, during, and after menopause. There is evidence that they are a result of hormonal changes in the body. According to various studies - obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and other health problems are thought to increase incidences of hot flashes. As you are losing weight with any program, and your hormones adjust, there is a chance that you might notice a difference in your hot flashes. Most of our customers report that the hot flashes they had before starting GOLO are less frequent or less severe than they were before starting the program. We have had some people in our group mention that they had an adjustment period where they saw an increase in the beginning and then a significant decrease. Everyone’s body and hormones are very different and can react in different ways. I wouldn’t say that hot flashes are common with GOLO, but they are very common in women over 50 who are hoping to lose weight. A large percentage of our customers fall into this category. GOLO is proud to have helped countless people gain control of their weight and health with our program but we do offer a 60-day money-back guarantee, so if you have decided that our program is not right for you, simply send an email to support@golo.com and we will send you the directions to return for a full refund.

No results

Hi Samantha,

I am sorry that you are not seeing the results that you were hoping for. When followed as directed, most customers report seeing results sometime between the 2nd and 4th week. I highly recommend that you contact us so that we can discuss with you in more detail. Without knowing how long you have been on the plan, what you were eating, and a few other factors, it is difficult to know why you have not seen results. Eating healthy is good, but following the instructions listed in the GOLO for Life plan that came with your package is most important.

Commonly, when people are not losing weight, we find that they are simply not eating enough. We have been fooled into thinking that we have to starve to lose weight but this is not true. Eating too little can put your body into starvation mode and further slow your metabolism.

GOLO is not a quick fix, fad diet but rather one that will work to get your metabolism back in balance so that you can lose weight effectively. Depending on how you ate before and past dieting efforts, it may take a bit of time to get everything back into balance before you start seeing results on the scale. But that balance is the key to losing, getting healthy and maintaining long term. Some ways that you know that the plan is starting to work for you is if you have more energy or are sleeping better.

Hot flashes are most common in women before, during and after menopause. There is evidence that they are a result of hormonal changes in the body. According to various studies - obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and other health problems are thought to increase incidences of hot flashes. As you are losing weight with any program, and your hormones adjust, there is a chance that you might notice a difference in your hot flashes. Most of our customers report that the hot flashes they had before starting GOLO are less frequent or less severe than they were before starting the program. However, we have had some customers mention that they noticed an adjustment period where they saw an increase in the beginning and then a significant decrease. Everyone’s body and hormones are very different and can react in different ways. I wouldn’t say that hot flashes are ‘normal’ with GOLO, but they are very common in women over 50 who are hoping to lose weight.

GOLO offers free coaching to all of our customers. If you are interested in talking to a coach, please reach out to customer support at support@golo.com or 1-800-730-4656.

Love feeling steady all day!

By Cori Sivils, Lafayette, Indiana, Verified Reviewer

I love this program! I was skeptical like with any other informercial but the science behind it is what prompted me to order. Plus, I like eating clean. The supplements are all natural which was a big plus for me as well. They do what they say they are going to do which is keep your insulin/metabolism steady throughout the day. This is the most sensible “plan” out there. Breakfast is now my favorite meal of the day and I never ate breakfast unless it was for dinner.

Also, the staff/customer service is wonderful and supportive! The Facebook group has started doing exercise challenges each month which are very nice! I never would have tried yoga had it not been for them. I love GOLO!

Amazing From the Get

By Dana Vee, Pittsburgh, PA, Verified Reviewer

So at first I was super skeptical, you know all the things you hear about a lifestyle plan working? Well I will be the first one to say that I have been working at this for a while and I am seeing changes. What I keep in mind is that change does not happen overnight, weight did not appear overnight, change takes time. Inches are dropping and foods that go into my body are much better choices. It's all baby steps, and that is what I am taking.

Learning what to eat is the most important part of change and the education process of GOLO is amazing. Their customer service reps are helpful, always a call away and NO question has gone unanswered. Will I see my final loss goal? You bet because I am committed to GOLO on the scale and in my cholesterol, etc. This lifestyle that GoLo has created fits into my crazy schedule every single day. I am so happy I have found GoLo.

GOLO is a health plan for life

By Dennis M., Sebring, FL, Verified Reviewer

Before joining GOLO, I'd tried just about every diet plan in the world and even though some of them helped me lose weight, none of the weight loss experiences were long-lasting. GOLO is different. It's not a diet, it's a health plan designed to bring you back to clean eating and actually changing your health. I have diabetes and as a result of this clean eating plan, GOLO has helped me select the right health choices designed to maintain a healthy blood sugar level. My A1C dropped from 8.6 to 5.5 and my doctor has reduced my medication by over half. The RELEASE supplements are designed to help keep your blood sugar steady and this eliminated both sugar and hunger spikes. I highly recommend GOLO. GOLO is for men and women of just about any age. I'm a senior citizen and it's worked wonderfully for me. It has helped me change the way that I look at food prep and healthy eating.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

RELEASE supplements help me go through the day without feeling deprived or constantly think about food

Their website has many resources designed to help you make this program successful, like recipes designed to make meal prep easy and consistent with guidelines of program

FOOD MATRIX is easy to follow and flexible, it's designed to be fool proof and allow you to plan a menu that best suits your individual needs

If you have questions about certain prepared foods or ingredients, GOLO counselors are available to help on the GOLO Facebook Group

Certain food restrictions, for example bottled dressing

Sometimes I miss the convenience of just being able to pop a prepared meal into the microwave and not have to cook from scratch

Poor customer service and potentially bad side effects

By Stephanie S., Richmond, VA, Verified Reviewer

I have been on GOLO for a month and when I experienced bad fatigue I tried to taper off but had withdrawal symptoms. I have called 3 times and waited so long I had to hang up. I also have emailed with no response. Some of the ingredients must be like stimulants for that to happen.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Company Response from Golo, LLC

May 5, 2022

Hi Stephanie,

When starting a new diet, many people can feel tired or fatigued. These feelings may be caused by the change in diet and/or sudden reduction in sugar and processed foods. Studies show that sugar can be more addictive than opioids and that withdrawal symptoms caused by a dopamine deficiency can create a similar brain state to those patients with depression. (See link below for information on this study). This can be very disconcerting and stressful, however, if you can push past these feelings, most customers report feeling better than they have in years! Of course, we always recommend that anyone who has a concern about their health, consult with their healthcare provider.

Our supplement, Release, contains no caffeine or stimulants of any kind. There are no known side effects in Release; all of the ingredients have been properly assessed and have peer-reviewed studies to confirm their safety and efficacy.

I am sorry that you have had trouble reaching us. We do sometimes have heavy call volume, but our system will only allow a customer to hold for a max of 3 minutes before you are sent to voicemail. Our greeting states that we will call you back within 24-48 hours if you leave a message. When you send us an email, you get an immediate auto-reply that states we will return your message within 24-48 hours. We have been running ahead of time on both voicemails and emails this week.

We were unable to find you in our system to determine if we have been in contact with you but please feel free to send an email to help@golo.com for additional assistance with your return.

Took it for the full 90 days, lost zero ounces, let alone pounds.

By Aaron L., Cool, CA, Verified Reviewer

I followed the guide and lost 0 ounces, 0 pounds. I contacted support and they said I had to contact them in under 60 days to receive my refund...so lesson learned. I took the pills after a few bites of each meal, suggesting it's some sort of appetite suppressor, I even cut down on portion sizes and ate slower, still no weight loss. Save your money, buy something else.

Company Response from Golo, LLC

Jan 6, 2021

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that you did not achieve your desired results. When followed as directed, on average people start seeing weight loss between the 2nd and 4th week and lose approximately 1.5-2 lbs. per week. It is also common for people to lose inches before pounds so we always tell people to both weigh themselves and measure their waist once a week to track true progress.

GOLO works to improve the performance of the hormones connected to your weight and for some, this can take a little bit of time. It is important that you are following the recommended servings and portions to put your meals together as laid out in the directions that came with your package in order to see the best results. You may have noticed that you are sleeping better, have more energy or are losing inches. These are signs that things are changing in your body and GOLO is working!

We do offer free coaching for all GOLO customers. Sometimes tweaking your diet a little bit can make a big difference in your results. Please email support@golo.com to set up an appointment.

GOLO is proud to offer a 60 day money back guarantee. It is listed on our website under terms and conditions which you agreed to when you purchased,

By Jerry S., Kimono, IN, Verified Reviewer

Started this program over a month ago and was a little skeptical of my achievements. But wow, it's been great. I have now lost 20 pounds and am starting to feel great again. Not much for getting on scales so I do the clothes test. I pull out items in my closet I haven't been able to wear for over 2 years so I am making progress. Also don't have the snacking issue I had.

Definitely not a believer

By Nancy B., Walnut Creek, CA, Verified Reviewer

The commercial states that this will curb cravings for sweets, increase metabolic efficiency, assist in hunger control, and that this is the "way to NOT diet." None of those could be further from the truth.

I took this three times a day for months and didn't lose more than 3 lbs. Apparently, there is no way to lose weight unless you actually go on a diet. Possibly, this will assist you but I do not believe that even if you went on a diet while you take this you would lose any more than you would if you just went on the diet alone.

Common sense tells most people that you cannot lose weight without going on a diet and their statement about this helping you lose weight without dieting is just really misleading and untruthful. I should have followed my gut.

Company Response from Golo, LLC

Hi Nancy,

I am sorry that you did not see the results that you were hoping for. Based on your review, it sounds as though you followed your own way of eating. For best results, we do recommend our Metabolic Plan that came with your order. On average, when followed as directed, most people lose 1.5-2 lbs. per week and start seeing results sometime between weeks 2-4. We find that most people don’t eat enough when they are trying to lose weight, and this actually slows down your metabolism making it harder to lose weight. This is why we created the GOLO Metabolic Plan. It was designed by a team of doctors and nutritionists to ensure that you get enough food to burn fat and not muscle during your weight loss journey. On this plan, you are able to eat real whole foods and not “diet” foods. We see this as a lifestyle and not a diet.

The Release supplement helps to balance the hormones that affect weight gain so you can lose weight faster. Customers report that when taken in conjunction with the Metabolic Plan that they have less hunger and cravings, more energy, better sleep, less stress and an overall calmer demeanor. And according to Health Canada, Release maintains the body’s ability to metabolize nutrients, supports cognitive function-such as mental focus and mental stamina, protects cells against oxidative effect and cell damage caused by free radicals, supports connective tissue formation and energy metabolism, helps to maintain normal DNA synthesis and maintains healthy bones, hair, nails and skin.

We recently conducted a double-blind placebo trial. In this study, there were 2 groups of people - both of them followed the plan, but one group took Release and the other took a placebo. Both groups lost weight, but the group that took Release lost 79% more weight and twice the number of inches around their waist than the placebo group in the same period of time.

Controlling

Company Response from Golo, LLC

May 19, 2022

Hi Sheryl,

When you start any new way of eating or supplement, your body can go through an adjustment period and some people may experience mild detoxing symptoms such as bloating, gas, diarrhea, or constipation. This is usually because your body is not used to the additional protein and/or fiber provided when following the recommended servings in the GOLO Plan. It can also be a reaction to removing processed foods, sugar and/or excess caffeine; it is almost as if your body is rebelling against the good you are trying to do for it. I wouldn’t say that it is common but because many people are simply not used to eating this much fiber, it can happen in the beginning. This is usually temporary until your system adjusts and as said above are generally from the change in diet rather than the Release supplement. Comments are turned off on subjects that might cause other customers to give medical advice because legally we cannot allow that type of information to be shared on our page.

We are proud to offer a 60-day money-back guarantee, if you are within this time frame and would like to return, simply send an email to support@golo.com for instructions on how to return for a full refund.

GOLO capsules are a placebo

By James S., Lake Stevens, WA, Verified Reviewer

The capsule does nothing. All you were doing is giving a booklet on a diet, which anyone can do. Good thing you’re cheap and it’s only one payment because if this is a subscription that should be a major lawsuit. Can’t believe you were getting away with this. GOLO works if you eat your low cal vegetable diet. I could’ve done that without the pill the pills. A gimmick and I can’t believe you’re not sued.

Hi James,

I am sorry that you did not see the results that you were hoping for. GOLO is proud to have helped thousands of customers reach their weight loss goals. GOLO is a two-part system. 1) The GOLO Plan – this is our simple way of eating that will ensure that you are receiving the proper amount of nutrition and fuel so that you are able to lose fat and not muscle during your weight loss journey. 2) The Release supplement – it works to help regulate the hormones that affect weight gain so that you can lose weight faster.

We know that Release makes weight loss faster because we recently conducted a study to determine this. It was a double-blind placebo trial that contained two groups of people. Both groups followed the GOLO for Life Plan, but one group took Release, and the other took a placebo. Both groups lost weight, BUT the group that took Release lost 79% more weight and twice the number of inches around their waists than the placebo group in the same amount of time!

We are proud to offer a 60-day return policy that begins on the day that you receive your order. If you are within this timeframe, please contact customer support at support@golo.com or 1-800-730-4656

Taking my life back

By Denise B. , Downey, CA

I have done many diets in my life and have always gained the weight back. I was at my highest weight ever and working from home. GOLO gave me my life back. I’m down 62 lbs and have so much energy, and I know I can lose more. It’s a lifestyle I can live with. Even on days that I eat something wrong, I don’t beat myself up, I just go back on and I do it. I feel empowered now. I love gold. Thank you so much for everything.

Junk

By Ella M., Nampa, ID, Verified Reviewer

I have been taking GOLO for some time, almost 2 bottles, no weight loss. This is a fad, a waste of money. They promised weight loss and there is none.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hi Ella, I am sorry that GOLO didn't work out for you. You mentioned in your review that you used almost 2 bottles of the Release supplement, yet our records indicate that you only purchased 1 bottle. Without knowing if you followed the recommended plan or not, it is hard to know why you did not lose weight. When followed as directed, most people start seeing results sometime between the 2nd and 4th week.

Keep in mind that there are many things that can influence the number on the scale, and some will lose inches before pounds. GOLO is not a quick fix, fat diet but rather one that will work to get your metabolism back in balance so that you can lose weight sustainably. Depending on past dieting efforts, your age, medications, health issues or hormones, it may take a bit of time to get everything back into balance. But, that balance is the key to losing, getting healthy, and maintaining long term.

Some ways that you know the plan is starting to work for you is if you have more energy and/or are sleeping better. GOLO is proud to offer a 60-Day Return Policy. It looks like you did take advantage of that as we emailed you a return authorization on 3/2/2022.

We will see!

By Linda F., Mount Arlington, NJ, Verified Reviewer

I am a 59-year-young woman with four amazing children! Even after my fourth child, I was always thin. Then the word every woman hates happened - MENOPAUSE. Everything just stopped. My metabolism was actually moving backward! I tried every diet under the sun. Nothing. If I took a breath I gained weight! I found GOLO through research and was desperate to try it. Sounded perfect for me! What they didn’t tell you well advertising for their product was how much was involved...strict diet and scoopers and stuff. My diet plan came with the medication release. I am totally committed. I’m ready to put in the work. I’ll let you know how I make out! I’m very optimistic!

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Proof GOLO works!

By Melissa R., Rome, NY, Verified Reviewer

In June 2021 I saw the commercial for GOLO on TV. It caught my attention when it started talking about helping with insulin resistance. My doctor had just told me a few months prior that I was insulin resistant. She said I would lose weight and gain back the same weight over and over again and that’s exactly what I did for many years. Since having kids 20+ years ago I always carried extra weight.

I started my GOLO Journey on July 1st, 2021 at 320.8 lbs. Right away my cravings for sugary sweets ended, and I started having all kinds of energy. I followed the plan for 30 days and lost 16.8 lbs. This was great! After that my weight loss slowed at times but I was still losing between 1/2 lb to 3 lbs a week, and not once did I ever gain any weight. I was happy with that!

Now, fast forward to October 14th, 2021 and I now weigh 282.0 lbs, I have released 38.8 lbs! I am thankful that I took the chance on GOLO. I can’t say enough positive things about it. They have taught me how to eat properly and that’s what I needed all along! My goal is to lose 120 lbs and to get to 200 lbs. When I started, 120 seemed like such a big number, but now the 82 lbs remaining, feels very possible. Thank you GOLO for helping me reach my goals and becoming a healthier mom.
