Be Careful If You Have GERD

I tried the Program for 2 months and found that the amount of food recommended at one sitting aggravated my GERD and made me extremely uncomfortable and bloated. I tried smaller meals and ended up with blood sugar issues. FYI - I am not diabetic and have never had blood sugar issues. My PCP told me to stop GOLO and all the issues went away. I did lose a few pounds, but it wasn't worth the discomfort. BEWARE

The servings suggested for each meal are laid out in the booklets however, also included are suggestions on how to customize your meals should you find that you are not able to eat the regular portions. We would never want to give advice that differs from your physician, however, should you decide, you would like to discuss in more detail please reach out to me: reviews@golo.com Denise, GOLO Customer Experience

Be careful

you can lose weight if you stick to the plan. I did find however that it would drop my blood sugar quite a bit so I can't take it 3 times a day. I think it's the berberine.

Hello Mary, We are happy to hear that you were able to lose weight with GOLO. Our supplement, Release, works to help regulate the hormones that affect weight, so you are able to lose weight faster. Low blood sugar is not common, but everyone’s body is different. It sounds like you were able to determine what works best for you by taking it less often. Additionally, we recommend, as is stated in the dosage instructions, that anyone who has a health condition or takes medication should consult with their physician before starting the program. If you have further questions, please feel free to reach out to us: reviews@golo.com Denise GOLO Customer Experience

THE GOLO PLAN/ BEST PLAN THERE IS!

The Golo Plan is the best program out there. If you do not lose weight it is because you are not following the plan they provide for you. The Release help me not to crave sugar and I was never hungry. I lost a 124 lbs in a year.I would take Release half way my meal and then I would eat the rest of my meal. I would just always prepare my meals and I was very satisfied! I just love Golo program cause it changed my life!
I actually started Golo back on March 8,2017 and by March 8,2018 I had lost 124 lbs. But I wanted to write a review to share my wonderful experience with Golo Plan. I don't care what no one says its the " BEST PROGRAM"you follow the program and stick to it. You can't think that just taking Release you are going to lose weight. You have to eat the proper foods that are on the plan. GOLO IS NOT A SCAM. THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BEHIND THE PROGRAM ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE! I never regret doing this program.

Hello Phyllis,
What a wonderful testament you have given GOLO and congratulations on losing 124 lbs!! YOU are right…you have to do the work as you did back in 2018. You do have to follow the GOLO for Life Plan, and that involves eating 3 meals a day from the four food groups. While on the GOLO Plan our Release supplement works holistically from the inside out. Our plan helps restore balance while also increasing metabolic efficiency, improving digestion, and gives you more vitality, more energy, and helps reduce stress. Our plan helps you experience steady weigh loss the healthy way! Many congratulations again Phyllis from the Team here at GOLO! We are so appreciative of your remarks about us! Be Well.

Hello Timi,
We are sorry to hear you did not see the results you were looking for while following the GOLO for Life plan. 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. 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, 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 makes 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. Should you have any questions or comments, GOLO Customer Support can be reached at: support@golo.com Denise, GOLO Customer Experience

I rated this a '1' star only for their prepared meals. They are horrible. The consistency of their prepared meals is like dog food. The flavor was OK once I added a LOT of other spices.

Hello Karen, I am so sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy your GOLO Foods purchase. They are intentionally lightly seasoned to allow customers to add their own spices to their liking. We have many customers who truly love them, but everyone’s tastes are different. It is true that we don’t offer refunds on perishable food, but I can see that you have been a valued customer since 2022, and we truly appreciate your business. I am going to email you directly so that I can further assist in this matter. Denise, GOLO Customer Experience

Hello Dale, I am sorry that you did not see the results that you were hoping for. When followed as directed (taking Release and following the GOLO way of eating) our customers report that they start seeing weight loss somewhere between the 2nd and the 4th week with an average loss of 1-2 lbs. Keep in mind that there are many things that can influence the number on the scale, and you may lose inches before pounds. 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. GOLO has helped millions of people lose 20, 40, 60, 80 and often well over 100 lbs while following our plan.

At GOLO we stand behind our products with a 60-day money-back guarantee that applies to the first order of each of our products. To inquire about a return, all you need to do is send an email to support@golo.com

We are also proud to feature real customers and trial members on our television commercials. Unlike many other companies who use actors or celebrities, GOLO only features real people who have lost weight with our program and who tell their story in their own words.

Sincerely,
Denise, GOLO Customer Experience

GOLO IS A BIG FAT NO-GO!!!

After about 4 months on this program,the only thing that lost weight was my bank account. The pills did absolutely NOTHING to reduce any "cravings" for food. I only have time for one meal (at the end of the work day) so it wasnt the amount of food I was eating. ABSOLUTELY NO FEEDBACK from this website on what or why/ GOLO IS A COLOSSAL FAIL AND A RIPOFF!!

Hello,
We are sorry you are disappointed with your results. When followed as directed (taking the Release supplement and following the GOLO for Life Plan) our customers report weight loss between the 2nd and 4th week.
You mentioned that you only have time in your schedule for 1 meal a day. GOLO recommends 3 balanced meals a day. This is probably the reason you did not see the results you were hoping for. You want to follow the GOLO Smart Card that was sent with your order. What we have found in speaking with customers is typically when people don’t lose weight within the first 2-4 weeks, it is because they are not eating enough or are not eating in a way that supports weight loss. This is why the GOLO for Life Plan is included with your order. It is easy to follow, and when combined with the Release supplement, most customers report losing an average of 1-2 lbs per week.
GOLO has helped millions of people lose 20, 40, 60, 80 and often well over 100 lbs while following our plan. Our “customer testimonials” are proof! They are all “Real people with Real results.” Included on our website for our customers are meal plans, over 500 GOLO recipes, informative tips, blogs and much more.
Our GOLO Customer Support Team is always ready to assist our customers. Unfortunately, you did not send your review with an email address so that I could look up your order, otherwise, I would have had them reach out to you. Please feel free to call us at 800-730-4656 where our staff is happy to review with you how to follow the plan as recommended. Thank you. Be Well. Denise, GOLO Customer Experience

Hello Pat, Our GOLO chefs and nutrition experts work extremely hard to craft our line of GOLO FOODS. Each meal is minced and expertly blended to create that perfect balance and harmonious taste. They are purposely blended, which ensures each is nutrient-dense to optimize fat loss while helping you to maintain muscle. All ingredients are carefully sourced, cooked, and snap-frozen to ensure high quality and safety standards.

We believe this is an isolated incident and will report this review right away to our Quality Control Department. It is our hope you will try our GOLO meals again. GOLO has had much success with the GOLO FOODS line since its inception two years ago. Be Well. Denise, GOLO Customer Experience

So I have taken this for at least a year. I haven't lost a pound. I do not think it's effective for that at all, However I keep buying because the hormonal effect is wonderful. I feel Very balanced. I'm wondering about the golo go3 plus effect. I can't find independent reviews.

Hello Karen, we are sorry you are disappointed with your results. When followed as directed (taking the Release supplement and following the GOLO for Life Plan) our customers report weight loss between the 2nd and 4th week with an average loss of 1-2 pounds weekly after that. You did not mention if you followed the GOLO way of eating. Did you follow the GOLO Smart Card recommendations while preparing your meals? How you prepare your meals is vital to losing weight while on the plan. Did you take your supplement with each of your 3 daily meals? The ingredients in the Release supplement help support your hormones and metabolism. Combined with the GOLO for Life way of eating, you can expect to see steady weight loss, more energy, reduced stress levels and anxiety, and even sleep better. You mentioned our new product, GO-3 Plus, which just launched today, so we do not have any reviews on it yet but have had very good feedback from our pre-sale participants who tried the product. Feel free Karen to reach out to us should you have any further questions. You can send us an email at: support@golo.com Be Well. Denise, GOLO Customer Experience

Good food BAD texture

Ordered the GOLO foods line to try as I have multiple food sensitivities and these are limited ingredients. The ingredients are good, the food was fresh, but the texture of the finely minced food was gag inducing. If you have ever seen commercials for human food diets for dogs - it's the same texture as that. I have no idea why they chose something so off putting. It's a shame too because the food didn't cause me any issues with sensitivity.

Hello, thank you for your comment. We are sorry to hear you find the texture not pleasing to your pallet. This would certainly be a personal preference. GOLO FOODS are crafted by chefs and nutrition experts who understand weight loss. Each flavor is packed with 10 oz of 16 carefully chosen “superfoods” that do not contain any preservatives or fillers. GOLO chose vibrant ingredients and expertly minced and blended them. This was done to ensure each meal is perfectly balanced and has a harmonious taste and is easier to digest. GOLO has had much success with the GOLO FOODS line since they were introduced.

Golo, a plan to live by forever

There are many restrictions and I find that the weight loss is very slow. I have lost 27lbs but it has taken me 8 months to do so. I will continue with the golo plan however because, even though it is slower than I would prefer, it has been eventually effective. Prior to this diet, I was unable to lose anything. So slow and steady will win the race.

Hello Annette, thank you so much for the review and congratulations on losing 27lbs, that is excellent! On average – most customers lose between 1-2 lbs per week, and this can depend on age, medications, and activity. Typically, you begin to lose weight between the 2nd and 4th week of starting the plan. So, it looks like you are losing approximately 3.85 lbs per month if I calculate that right. That is pretty good! What you can do that may very well “speed up your loss” is to follow the RESET 7 Plan for 1 or 2 weeks, then resume the GOLO for Life Plan. Log into your myGOLO account and choose the BLOG tab. Type in Reset 7 in the search bar. GOLO's Reset 7 is a one-week jump-start that can be used at the beginning of your weight loss journey, but it is also a great way to help you break through a weight loss plateau or speed things up a bit. Sometimes our systems get accustomed to a certain way, and we need to change things up. I might also recommend when you follow the Reset 7 not take Release. Then after a week or two – resume your normal dosage. This is only a suggestion if you are happy with slow…that is fine and does work as you have proved! Be Well. Denise, GOLO Customer Experience

Hi Gregory,
I am sorry that you are disappointed in your results. You lost 20 lbs. since you received your first order in March 2024. That is actually great!! GOLO is not a quick fix or fad diet. Instead, it works to get your metabolic health back into balance to that you are able to lose weight effectively and for the long-term. Depending on past dieting efforts, what you were eating before, medications you are taking (or have taken), your age, hormones, or other health conditions your body could have been out of balance for some time; and therefore, it could take a bit longer to get back into balance. The key is getting it there because once it is, you will be ready lose the weight and maintain it long term.

You mentioned that you changed your eating habits, but you didn’t include if you were following the directions that we sent with your order. We have found that most of the time when people don’t see the results that they want, it is because they are not eating enough or not eating in a way that optimizes weight loss. This is why the GOLO for Life plan was created, including our simple way of eating. When combined with the Release supplement, customers report losing 1-2 lbs. per week. I am happy to help you with the plan and will be emailing you.
