I’ve used their product and followed their plan for three months and haven’t lost a pound. Unfortunately, I threw away my money for another two-month supply before coming to the conclusion that this stuff is snake oil and I’m throwing away good money for bad product.

Hi Roger,
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 for Life plan, most customers report that they start seeing weight loss somewhere between the 2nd and the 4th week with an average loss of 1-2 lbs. Without knowing more about what you were eating, I am unable to speculate why you did not see results. We have found that most people who don’t see results are not eating enough or in a way that supports weight loss.
If you would be interested in giving GOLO another try, I would be happy to support you. Please reach out to me at help@golo.com if you are interested.

Took daily for 3 months, absolutely didn't know I was taking anything. Zero results. Would not recommend. Was just as if I was not taking it. Very disappointing. A lot of money for nothing.

I read the booklet, prepared several meals for the week, which were good, but hot flashes and a sluggish feeling were felt. Please do not blame it on menopause; I am 65 and have been over that for over 15 years. I called for a refund, which I received very quickly, and was not asked to return the product. This is not for me. I know how to portion my meals and eat right, no pill necessary. I am giving 3 stars because of the outstanding customer service, but I do not promote the product.

Hi Concetta,
I am sorry that you felt GOLO was not right for you, but I am glad that you were happy with the return/refund process.
GOLO is a two-part system that contains the Release supplement and the GOLO way of eating. Release works to help regulate the hormones that affect weight and metabolism so that you can lose weight faster. The GOLO eating plan ensures that you are eating enough food in the correct balance to support fat loss and ensure that you are not losing muscle.
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 what you mentioned. Some people don’t go through this at all, but if it is noticed, typically it only lasts for a few days as your system adjusts.
If you have any additional questions, please reach out to support@golo.com

Hi Nancy,
I am sorry that you did not see the results that you were hoping for. 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. This is usually temporary until your system adjusts and is generally from the change in diet.
GOLO offers a 60-day money-back guarantee. Our records indicate that, you received a refund from us on 10/27/2022.

I have lost a total of 45 pounds and 7 inches off my waist over a 5-month period of time. The GOLO Release capsules have decreased my appetite, provided energy, and allows the feeling of fullness, therefore decreasing the amount of food consumed.
I am a firm believer in this product and will continue to buy and promote this product. This product has contributed to a customer for life.

Once I received my order I began the program. I keep track of my weight each day. I walk 1.5 miles each day, I also go to water aerobics at the YMCA three times per week. I monitored my food intake as the program requires that I do.
After 45 days I went ahead and ordered another 60 days' worth, even though I had not lost any weight. At 75 days or so of taking the GOLO I still have not had ANY weight loss.
I called customer service for a refund. They of course advised me that ONLY my initial order was eligible for a refund and since that was past 60 days I would not get a refund.
I can't say the effects this may have on other people but it did NOT work for me at all. I would have to advise people considering weight loss options to look elsewhere for help. While the product has not appeared to be harmful to me yet it certainly has not been helpful in any way.
I will be reporting my findings to my doctor at the next appointment. I will also be leaving reviews according to my experience!

Hi Robert,
I am sorry that you did not see the results that you were hoping for. Based on what you wrote in your review, it is hard for me to determine whether you followed the GOLO for Life Plan or followed your own way of eating. Many times, we find that when customers are trying to lose weight, they don’t eat enough food and this can make it harder to lose weight. This is why the GOLO Plan was created, it ensures that you are getting enough food to fuel your body AND burn fat during the weight loss process. Because you are so active and also a male, we recommend that you add extra servings to your meals. If you were not adding this additional food to your daily meals this could be the reason that you did not see results.
I would like to speak to you in more detail to see if I can assist you further. I am sending you an email to the address to the email address that you provided.

I keep seeing reviews of people quitting after a few days because they "feel jittery and sick" and "didn't lose any weight".
First of all, the whole point is so that you change your eating habits over time, you are making a whole lifestyle change! This does not happen quickly, and just because you are taking the Release capsules it doesn't mean you won't have any cravings and you are going to lose weight right away, you have to put in the hard work to change your habits.
Also, there are no stimulants in the capsule, so if you're feeling jittery and sick, it's most likely because you consumed something else that made you feel that way.
I think the program is great! I was so confused as to what to eat and I was jumping from diet to diet. It's been a little over a month and I am starting to notice that I'm having more energy, and yes, I have lost a couple of pounds and I have a long road to go still. But you can actually call and talk to a real person when you need support! What other diets do that? I mean really, they give you all the tools but if you don't put in the work you won't see any results! It's as simple as that!

Hi Ed,
I am sorry to that GOLO did not work for you. Our 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. Because there is no caffeine or stimulants in the supplement, what you describe is not common at all.
GOLO is proud to offer a 60-day return policy. We offer free standard shipping when you place an order, but if you choose to return the shipping costs are the responsibility of the purchaser.

Hi John,
I am sorry that you did not see the results that you were hoping for. When followed as directed, most customers report that they start seeing results somewhere between the 2nd and 4th week. GOLO is not a quick fix, fad diet, but rather one that will work to get your metabolism back in balance. 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 energy and/or are sleeping better.
We do offer free coaching to all GOLO customers, and we would encourage you to try the plan again. We also offer a 60-day return policy that starts the day that you receive your order. Please contact customer support if you are interested in either coaching or returning your order at support@golo.com or 1-800-730-4656.

I have been taking GOLO for 3 weeks now just because my metabolism has been off for quite some time. I'm prior military and work out on average 3 days out of the week. Since taking GOLO I have never felt better and have since lost 10 lbs slowly. GOLO does work, if you control your plate and eating habits. I'm not as hungry anymore and have absolutely no cravings and my concentration is so much better now and I sleep soooo good at night now! I am looking forward in the next two months to see how much more I'm going to lose. Thank you GOLO!

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.

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.

Hi Alisia,
I am sorry that you did not see the results that you were hoping for. GOLO works to restore your metabolic health and depending on a number of factors, this could take a bit of time for some customers. Things like years of yo-yo dieting, health conditions, medications, and age can make the process take a bit longer for some however, once you get there the benefits are great!
If you were following the recommended GOLO way of eating, it would be very hard to gain actual fat weight. Our plan is personalized based on age, gender, lifestyle, and exercise. In order to gain just 1 pound of fat, you would have to consume an additional 3500 calories above and beyond what you were eating before starting GOLO. Although we don’t count calories, it would be pretty much impossible to eat this much and still be on plan. What you were most likely experiencing is normal weight fluctuations. These can be very frustrating but common. We do offer free coaching to all GOLO Customers. I would be happy to coach you if you wanted to continue with the GOLO Plan. If you are interested, please email me at help@golo.com

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

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.

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.

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.

Hi Connie,
I am sorry if you have not seen the results that you were hoping for. Release helps to balance the hormones that affect weight gain so you can lose weight faster. When taken as directed, in conjunction with the GOLO for Life Plan, customers report that they have less hunger and cravings, more energy, better sleep, less stress, and an overall calmer demeanor. Without knowing what you were eating, it is hard for us to determine why you continued to have sweet cravings however, in most cases this is caused by the other foods you are eating (or if you are not eating enough).
We do offer free coaching to all GOLO customers if you are interested in speaking with a coach in more detail.

The GOLO weight-loss plan is, on the face of it, an effective and safe plan. However, it offers nothing new from other plans that advocate healthy eating and exercise. The "Release" supplement contains ingredients that may have some health benefits but the company offers little information regarding clinical studies that demonstrate the efficacy of the supplement itself to promote weight loss over and beyond the healthy eating and exercise recommendations.

Our supplement, Release, works to help regulate the hormones that affect weight gain so that you can lose weight faster. We know that it works because we recently conducted a study on this subject. In this study there were 2 groups of people – both of them followed the GOLO 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 than the placebo group in the same period of time. Information about this and other studies that we have conducted can be found on our website https://www.golo.com/pages/golo-studies
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.
From your review, it is hard to tell if you actually tried Release or the GOLO for Life Plan for any period of time. On average, when followed as directed, our customers report a loss of 1-2 lbs per week and usually start seeing a loss sometime within the first 2-4 weeks.

This product is exactly what it says it isn't – a diet. The capsule is probably unnecessary as one can lose weight with the diet alone. Or any other similar low-calorie, low-fat diet.
Length of Use: Less than 3 months
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Pros and Cons
Outlined diet quite well
Arrived quickly
Is just another diet
Expensive

Hi Laurie,
I am sorry that GOLO did not work for you. Our supplement, Release, works to help regulate the hormones that affect weight gain so that you can lose weight faster. We know that it works because we recently conducted a study on this subject. In this study there were 2 groups of people-both of them followed the GOLO 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 than the placebo group in the same period of time.
I hope that you will reconsider and give the GOLO Plan a try. But if you decide that GOLO is not right for you, we do offer a 60-day money back guarantee that begins on the day that you receive your order. Should you decide that you would like to return, please send an email to help@golo.com

I'm very happy with GOLO, it's really opened my eyes to how and what I was eating before. GOLO has really helped me with my cravings for junk food and now when I want something sweet I have healthy options to chose from.
I now know how to prepare meals that are nutritious and delicious for me and my family.
The GOLO group is very supportive and has all kinds of resources and information to help you along the way, which has been super helpful.
I think the best part is that this isn't really like a diet because you still get to enjoy all types of different foods but in a much healthier way.
I would definitely recommend the GOLO lifestyle for anyone who is like me and just felt stuck or has already tried many different dieting methods with little or no luck because this has been a game-changer for me. And it's so easy to follow!
Length of Use: Less than 3 months
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Pros and Cons
Very supportive
Easy process for ordering
There's no hidden agenda, it's truly about helping people get healthy
I wish I could get a recipe book with all the recipes so I didn't have to print them out
An updated app would be nice

GOLO proved to me that it actually works and is a real-life change experience, not just a fad diet. With the help of Eden and Jamie, my FREE coaches that were awesome and able to help me create my delicious everyday meals. It was foods that I didn't have to buy and I had already in my pantry and fridge, that was even better! My overall experience from the Release to Customer Service to coaching has been amazing! I even recommended it to my aunt who is excited to try it.
Length of Use: 6–12 months
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Pros and Cons
Release – which released lots of fluid and weight
Free program – coaching, customer service, and FB group
Easy to follow and provides lots of recipes and information
Not being able to automatically renew subscription for when I run out
GOLO app would be nice, however, I know it's in the works

Golo has been a life-changer for me. Started it on August 1st, 2021 and it took me three months to lose 25 lb going exactly by the meal plan. When Christmas came I did cheat some but I did not gain any weight. I finally started losing weight again in February 2022 and now I am down 32 lb.
This is the best plan I've ever been on. I have less gas my blood pressure has gone down I am off of my diabetic medicine and I feel so much better looking forward to losing another 25 lb in the next 3 months. It is slow but slow is better than nothing at all. I do recommend this plan if you are only willing to change the way you are eating and start eating healthy.
Length of Use: 3–6 months
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Pros and Cons
I'm not hungry like I used to be
I eat real food not diet food
And I'm coming off my medications
