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

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.
