Great Program!

By Cynthia W. , Austin, TX

I started 9.04.21 and am down 63 lbs. That being said, if unprocessed healthy eating is not your thing or if you think you can use the program like a magic wand in one hand while you order McDonald's with the other then this is not you. There has to be some accountability for your mindset and actions. That being said, the support is incredible and I haven't felt the compulsion to eat in a hot minute.

Bad headaches

By Lashanda S. , Chicago, IL

I actually lost 3 lbs within the first week, but I got really bad headaches the first time taking it. I thought maybe it was just a blow to my system. After I kept taking it, the headaches didn’t stop, they continued and got worse. I had to stop taking them. Just knew this would help. The side effects for me are not worth the headache.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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

Company Response from Golo, LLC

Mar 9, 2022

Hi Lashanda,

I am sorry that GOLO did not work for you. 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 a headache in the beginning. Most of the time headaches are caused by removing processed foods, sugar and/or excess caffeine from your diet. Some people don’t go through this at all, and others may just experience a feeling of tiredness for a few days. These symptoms are usually temporary as your system adjusts and are generally from the change in diet rather than the Release supplement.

Release, is all-natural, contains no harmful ingredients, chemicals, caffeine, or other stimulants. It is considered safe to take with medications or supplements and historically has no known side effects. Release helps to balance the hormones that affect weight gain so you can lose weight faster. When taken in combination with the GOLO way of eating, customers report that they have less hunger and cravings, more energy, better sleep, less stress, and an overall calmer demeanor.

GOLO is proud to offer a 60-day Return Policy on all first-time orders. A return authorization has been emailed to you. If you have any questions, please contact our customer support team at support@golo.com

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

Company Response from Golo, LLC

Mar 8, 2022

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.

Waste of time and money

By Susan D. , Madison, CT

Don't waste your time and money. Only works for a short amount of time. When you realize this, you have gone past 60 days for a refund and may even stupidly have bought more so now you are even out more money. Again, don't waste your time and money.

Feb 22, 2022

Hi, I am sorry that you did not see the results that you were looking for. When followed as directed people start seeing weight loss somewhere between the 2nd and 4th week with an average loss of 1-2 lb. per week. The Release supplement works to help regulate the hormones that affect weight gain so you can lose weight faster and our eating plan actually teaches you how to eat not only to lose weight, but also explains how to maintain once you get to your goal.

Without more information on how you were following the program, it would be hard to pinpoint why you felt it stopped working for you. We offer free support and coaching to all GOLO customers. I would be happy to set you up with a coach so that we can speak in more detail and try to get you back on the road to your ultimate weight loss goal. Please reach out to me if you are interested at help@golo.com

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.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Company Response from Golo, LLC

Feb 24, 2022

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.

Here you can explore the possibility of other influences of tinnitus: https://www.ata.org/understanding-facts/causes

GOLO does offer a 60-day money-back guarantee, please contact help@golo.com if you would like assistance with a return request.

Release works!

By Mark J., Omaha, NE, Verified Reviewer

I started 12 weeks ago, I pretty much stick to the meal plans and the 2121 system but I do live life, aka cheat now and then. I take 1 Release with my meal and 2 if I’ve made a poor choice. I’m down 45lbs! My sugar cravings are virtually gone and I do not crave soda, which previously was a huge crutch. I view Release as free because my grocery bill is lower because I don't buy garbage anymore. The Facebook support page is top-notch. This works!

A life-changer

By Kim D., Mount Vernon, KY, Verified Reviewer

My name is Kim D, I'm 52 years old and have been overweight most of my life. I have dieted and starved myself over the years and lost only to gain the weight back, plus more. There wasn't a day that went by that I wasn't in pain. It was all I could do to go through my daily routine.

I knew I needed to get the weight off and keep it off, but was at a loss what to do. I was sitting at the kitchen table watching TV and the GOLO commercial was on. I thought, what do you have to lose?

So I got on the site, read the information, ordered my kit with the Release, and now here I am, 13 weeks in and have lost 30 pounds. It's unreal how much better I feel, my energy level is up, and I don't take acid reflux meds anymore. I can touch my toes without not being able to breathe, and this is only the beginning of my journey.

If you are looking to change your life for the better, GOLO is your ticket to success. The tools and resources, and the coaches, will guide you along this journey. I can't say enough good things about GOLO and all the support they have given me. Thank you GOLO for changing my life!

Still undecided, but trending positive...

By Michelle L., Danville, CA, Verified Reviewer

I started this a few months ago. I am 63.

On my 4th bottle, I think.

I really did not change my eating habits, as suggested. I have continued to exercise 3-4 times a week - walking, light aerobic. At times, I have lacked discipline for 3 times per day, although this last month improved. I have probably lost 3-5 lbs total, slight fluctuation. I do feel a change in my body and my approach to eating. I believe I have experienced a more balanced mood at times, and a decrease in craving "bad" foods like sugar, etc.

My one suggestion is I would love to see more reviews across the frontier, and a comparison to similar items on the market. Even though there might be minor changes in the formula, it would be nice to see that more products attempt this route. It would give your line more credibility and it would properly inform.

This month I am going to be stricter, and see if I can measure a notable change. I continue to reorder because even though the loss isn't monumental, I feel better. I feel lighter. I feel more balanced.

Side note, in my lifetime I have tried almost everything, so indeed I am a harsh critic.

Success is yours, one meal at a time

By Vicky B., Inverness, FL, Verified Reviewer

GOLO has provided a sound and achievable way to lose weight, inches, and above all, energy. Their guidance has been positive and clarification on the guidelines is fantastic. The Facebook group is motivating and the success stories that keep anyone willing to put the effort into eating correctly, really pay off. Thank you!

I've been on GOLO for 3 weeks, and immediately I noticed more energy and I've lost 10 lbs and 2 inches from my waist. I love to cook and the recipes I've tried are excellent.

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.

Weight loss

I lost 19 lbs in 10 weeks on GOLO. It was an easy plan to follow and I was never hungry. I am halfway to my goal and know I will make it there. I exercise for 20 minutes a day along with the plan. I admit I was skeptical at first, but after seeing how easy it was, and the support they give you, I knew I could do it. I no longer have cravings for high-carb foods.

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.

Hi Paul,

I am sorry that you are disappointed! GOLO is not a quick fix, fad diet, but rather one that will work to get your metabolism back in balance. Depending on how you ate before and past dieting efforts. plus your age, medications, health issues etc., 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 people will lose inches first. A couple of ways that you know that the plan is starting to work for you is if you have more energy or are sleeping better.

We do offer free coaching to all GOLO Customers. If you are interested in working with a coach, please reach out to me at help@golo.com and I would be happy to help you.

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.

Gained weight as soon as I stopped taking it

By Kay W., Vancleave, MS, Verified Reviewer

I started with your plan. Took the pills and even used a low-carb diet. I lost about a pound a week. After stopping the low-carb diet and following your meal plan I was losing nothing! I stopped taking your pill and now I have gained more weight than I lost. It has made it impossible to even lose weight now. I was not on insulin. I just thought it would help me lose. It’s just not for me.

Product arrived on time

I am not sure if the ingredients turned my fat burning clock off

Company Response from Golo, LLC

May 5, 2021

I am sorry to hear that you gained the weight you lost back. If you were switching from low-carb to the GOLO plan, it could take a bit of time for your body to adjust to a new way of eating so that you could continue your loss. Depending on how extreme a change it was and how long you were doing it, the timeframe for adjustment can vary however, if you stick with it you should see a change and start noticing a loss of about 1-2 lbs per week.

GOLO is designed to be phased out as you reach your goal weight however, in order to maintain your loss you should continue to eat in the balanced way that you learned from GOLO. You won't have to be as strict as you were during your weight loss journey but if you go back to your old ways of eating you will, unfortunately, gain back the weight you lost.

We would be happy to discuss with you how to reorder at a discounted price so that you can lose the weight again if you would like. Just send an email to customer service and we can assist you! support@golo.com

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!

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

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.

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,

Buyer beware

By Joan W., Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

Although they claim a 100% refund if you are not satisfied, they withhold a significant portion for shipping costs. So it costs you to return it as well as their ‘free shipping’ costs.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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

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
