It does absolutely nothing. I never even lost one pound. I am not a large person, do not overeat ( I don't eat much at all). This was such a waste of money.

Hi Carla - I am sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your weight loss results. GOLO works best when followed as directed, taking Release with each of your 3 meals a day and following the food guidelines that are included in the GOLO for Life plan that comes with your order. Most customers report seeing some type of results within the first 2-4 weeks with an average loss of 1-2 lbs. per week. Some customers notice inches lost first, while others notice pounds on the scale however, it all averages out to approximately 1-2 lbs. per week.
GOLO is not a quick fix, fad diet; instead, it works to help get your metabolism back into balance so you can lose weight effectively. Depending on past dieting efforts, your age, medications, health conditions, and hormones, it may take a bit of time to get everything back into balance. But that balance is the key to losing weight, getting healthy and maintaining your weight for the long term.
In talking with our customers over the years, we have discovered that those who report not seeing results within the 2-4 week timeframe may not be following the GOLO suggested way of eating. Many times, when people try to diet on their own or with other types of plans, they aren't eating enough food or are not eating in a way that supports weight loss (skipping meals or eliminating food groups etc.). This is why we created the GOLO for Life plan and why we send it with your first order. When followed, it ensures that you are getting enough food and nutrients so that you can lose fat and minimize muscle loss.
You mentioned in your review that you don’t eat much at all. This could be the reason that you have had trouble losing weight. If you don’t feed your body enough food, it will hold on to its fat reserves. This makes it very hard to lose weight. But it’s not impossible. We have had many customers just like you see success with our program. They tend to comment how they are surprised that they are eating more food while on GOLO than they did before but they are losing weight! It seems counterintuitive, but it can happen.
Carla, we want you to succeed… feel free to email us at [email protected] should you have any further questions.

I did lose 25 pounds, however I have gained it back. It's great in the beginning, but hate all the prepping, so I got lazy and failed. I still take release, but am thinking of ending that as well as it is expensive. It was a challenge making things to eat that were different and tasty. I guess with every diet we set ourselves up to fail. Not a magic pill. You have to be committed.GOLO, LLC

Hello *****,
I am sorry you didn’t see the success you wanted to see while following GOLO. When followed as directed (taking Release and following the GOLO way of eating) our customers typically report results between the 2nd and 4th week with an average loss of 1-2 lbs. a week. GOLO is not a typical diet, instead our supplement and lifestyle program help to balance the hormones that affect weight so you can lose fat faster.
I can’t tell from your review if you followed the GOLO way of eating or if you used the Release supplement along with your own way of eating. We find that many people who try to lose weight on their own plan, or with other diets, don’t eat enough food or don’t eat in a manner that assists with weight loss. This is why many diets don’t work and why people find themselves frustrated when trying to lose weight on their own. And this is why we send the GOLO for Life plan with each order. When followed as directed, it ensures that you get enough food and nutrients to help your body maintain muscle while losing weight.
Meal Prepping your food is not necessary. A lot of customers find it easier to plan for the week, but it is certainly up to the individual. You mentioned making things is a challenge. You certainly can prepare your own meals just by using the 2-1-2-1 plan outlined on your SMART CARD.
2 - Proteins
1 – Carb
2 – Vegetables
1 – Healthy Fat
****** there are over 200 items on the GOLO food list – so you have your choice to put together anything you want staying within our guidelines as noted above. Once you meet your goal, you will want to follow the GOLO way of eating. Some customers continue to take Release, but it is not necessary. You are right, the GOLO for Life Plan is not a magic bullet, but following the plan and taking your Release will produce positive results. Always keep a check for our emails….we do run promotions on Release and our other products throughout the year.
Should you have any questions or concerns, reach out to our Customer Support team at: [email protected]
Thank you

Hello Aida,
I am sorry that you didn’t see success when you tried GOLO back in 2023. When followed as directed (taking Release and following the GOLO way of eating) our customers typically report results between the 2nd and 4th week with an average loss of 1-2 lbs. a week. GOLO is not a typical diet, instead, our supplement and lifestyle program helps to balance the hormones that affect weight so you can lose weight faster.
I can’t tell from your review if you followed the GOLO way of eating or if you used the Release supplement along with your own way of eating. We find that many people who try to lose weight on their own plan, or with other diets, don’t eat enough food or don’t eat in a manner that assists with weight loss. This is why many diets don’t work and why people find themselves frustrated when trying to lose weight on their own. And this is why we send the GOLO for Life plan with each order. When followed as directed, it ensures that you get enough food and nutrients to help your body maintain muscle while losing fat.
If you did follow the GOLO eating plan, it could be that you just didn’t give it enough time. Although many people see results in the first month, there are several factors that can affect the time it takes for you to see results on any program (not just ours). Things like past dieting efforts – such as fad diets that cause you to lose weight quickly, age, medications, medical issues, and hormones, all can affect how long it takes to get your metabolism into balance so your body can effectively lose fat. Additionally, when you make a big change to your diet it may take your body a bit of time to adjust. This can cause you to feel tired. However, if this happens it usually passes in a few days to a week and most customers report that they have more energy than they have in a long time.
We would, however, be more than happy to talk to you in more detail to try to assist. Please feel free to reach out to me directly [email protected]Review fromChristine N

Hi Teri,
Thank you for your review and a “Big Congrats” on losing 40 lbs on the GOLO for Life Plan! Our plan works with your metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance and in turn leads to a healthier, happier YOU! The Release supplements help control insulin which then speeds up your metabolism so your body can start to release stored fat. And you are right...no caffeine, upset stomach or shaky feelings. We are so pleased you chose the GOLO Plan, and our team here could not be happier for you. Be Well. Denise M. GOLO Customer ExperienceReview fromChristopher H

When I first started taking it, I did lose some weight, with diet and exercise. Stopped and weight came back. However, as with most supplements, you need to exercise and eat properly. Especially with respect to portion size. Hard to say if there is a significant interaction between the product and lifestyle change. I will say that it made my poops better. Otherwise, it is not a magic bullet. The issue of course is that proper diets often involve a lot of time and effort. Same is true with exercise. If you already have a busy life with work and what not, that extra time is hard to find an sustain forever. I won't say its a scam, but it the product does not work by itself. In the long run, diet and exercise are the key to losing weight. Of course everyone should know that.GOLO, LLC

Hello Christopher,
When followed as directed (taking Release and following the GOLO way of eating) most customers begin to lose weight between the 2nd and 4th week. After that, typically 2 pounds a week. There are also many things that can influence the number on the scale, and you may lose inches before pounds. You are right, GOLO is not a “magic bullet”. We tell our customers it is not a quick fix, or fad diet. Our plan works to help get your metabolism back into balance so you can lose weight effectively. Depending on past dieting efforts, your age, medications or medical 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 your loss long-term. Proper diet (the GOLO for Life Plan) and our supplement Release make weight loss faster. The GOLO Release supplement is designed to be phased out as your metabolism improves and you reach your goal weight. There are some customers that continue to take it or take it at a lower dosage, but it is not necessary to maintain your weight loss. You can maintain your weight by continuing to follow the basic healthy way of eating that you have learned with GOLO. You should continue to eat 3 balanced meals per day. Be Well.

I've been taking Golo for a month. Eating lighter and exercising daily. I've decided I was scammed. hasn't changed anything.GOLO, LLC
Date: 02/06/2025
Hello William,
Regarding the review you sent us, you do say you were eating lighter on a daily basis. We do not recommend that. Instead, on the GOLO for Life Plan we recommend eating 3 meals a day, each consisting of a protein, carb, veggie and healthy fat. These recommendations are outlined in your booklets you would have received with your order back in November. When followed as directed (taking Release and following the GOLO way of eating) most customers begin losing weight between the 2-4th week. After that, usual weight loss is 2 pounds a week going forward. GOLO is not a quick-fix, fad diet; instead, it works to help get your metabolism back into balance so you can lose weight effectively. Depending on past dieting efforts, your age, medications or medical 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 your loss long-term. Feel free to reach out to our Customer Support Team who can walk you through the Plan. Also, with your order, you should have received a “link to your myGOLO” account. We will send that again. Once you sign in – you have access to: over 500 GOLO recipes, informative blogs, tips and so much more. Let us know if we can be of any further assistance. Regards, Denise M. GOLO Customer Experience

On 1/1/24 I decided I needed to do something to improve my life and to become healthy. I weighed in at 180. We were going to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary in August. My birthday was coming up in October and I was going to be 69. I did my research and decided I would give GoLo a try. I am so glad I did! As of 1/1/25 I lost 30 lbs. I still have a little ways to go but now I know I can do it. I'm really proud of myself and so is my husband. Thank you GoLo.GOLO, LLC
