Didn’t work for me

By Bruce P., Bay Area, CA, Verified Reviewer

Been taking the tablets for 2.5 weeks, gained 2 pounds and feel bloated! Very disappointed. I eat a low carbohydrate diet, I lost 15 pounds since last August and I decided to go for another 7 to 10 pounds using GOLO. It didn’t work! I do not recommend GOLO to anyone. Complete waste of money! Having a very difficult time trying to post my review!

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

GOLO

By Marylou M., Florida, Verified Reviewer

My experience with GOLO was very disappointing. The product doesn’t work, and even though they guarantee a full refund, they always find a tiny flaw to not give your full refund back.

Product doesn’t do what they promise to do.

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

GOLO changed my life

By Mildred C., Tampa, FL, Verified Reviewer

After reaching 173lbs at 5'2" I knew I had to make drastic changes to my life, I was unhappy with myself, didn't feel good, was always tired, had stomach issues, bit my nails. I saw GOLO as my last hope, and a tool to learn to live a healthier life. GOLO has taught me how to read ingredients, what's healthy and not, how much to eat. I went from a tight size 10 to now 6, and feel alert, alive, no stomach issues, my skin is so soft, energetic. GOLO is not a diet, it's a lifestyle and a great one, you won't regret. GOLO kickstarted my metabolism! Give GOLO a go!

My GOLO experience.

By Ronald L., Perry, MI, Verified Reviewer

I started GOLO June 3rd. It was one of the best decisions of my life! I believe it has saved my life. I was way overweight, and having health issues. I became a Type 2 diabetic with my A1C out of control. My cholesterol triglycerides were really bad. After three months on the program, my A1C went from 9.6 to 6.5. My triglycerides went from 253 to 148 with no cholesterol medication. My pant size went from size 42 to 38. My weight has gone from 297 to 247.

Waste of money. Doesn't work as stated.

By Vincent J., New Jersey, Verified Reviewer

I bought a 90-day supply and didn't eat any more than usual and in fact, eliminated foods as well as cut back on eating to a degree. I watched the scale and thought I might have lost a pound after a month of using the product as directed. At that point I was skeptical, but continued and was on the verge of calling the GOLO people up to get a refund since I was close to their 60-day cut-off. I misjudged on the date and went past and not surprisingly nothing changed in terms of my weight. In essence I wasted $100 on a product and program that is worthless. I had posted a similar message on GOLO, but they seemingly didn't allow the one-star review.

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

Golo works

By Leah M., Easton, Pennsylvania, Verified Reviewer

I know there is a lot of hype out there about Golo. I want to preface this by saying I have tried a lot of diets and I have done a lot of things to lose weight. I have failed miserably. I tried Golo expecting it to be another failure. I am writing here to help dispel the myth that Golo does not work. It absolutely does! I am losing weight, I feel so much better and this is not a hard to follow. They supply you with great recipes and ideas and so many people are there to help you. I like every thing about this program and I love the fact that for the first time in more than 7 years, I am losing weight. It works.

It works!

By Vivian V., Drums, PA, Verified Reviewer

When I started Golo 3 months ago I weighed 193 lbs. I had blood work checked a few months before I started. Everything was elevated. Today I am now 179 lbs and my most recent bloodwork shows that everything has returned to normal levels. My energy, my stamina, and my overall feelings about myself have greatly increased. So yes it works!

It is the best

By Karen S., Olympia, WA, Verified Reviewer

I have been on so many diets I have lost count! I could never stay at a lower weight after losing many, many pounds. I had this obsessive voice in my head that would not stop. “You are hungry, you want candy. You want to binge and devour an entire 1/2 gallon of ice cream!” I thought I would try GoLo as it appeared to be a clean way of eating. The second day after taking Release that obnoxious voice was quiet in my head! I could not believe it. I have been so happy. I have not had any sodas, no snacking at night and have more energy and sleep great! I am so grateful this has helped me so much. For the first time in my life, I am at peace with myself, my body and my healthy way of eating.

It transformed me and changed my life!

By Dawn D., Chesterton, IN, Verified Reviewer

I started GOLO following their food plan and taking one release with each meal starting in July of 2018; in 9 months I have lost 75 pounds and gone from a size 20 to a size 8. People don't recognize me and everyone wants to know what I did! The best part it was easy; when taking release I wasn't hungry, I felt calm and less stressed, and my triglycerides went from 247 to 77! This isn't a diet, it's a healthy lifestyle change, I am GOLO for Life!

Shipping

By Chase A., Tennessee, Verified Reviewer

Please do not order from GOLO. I wish I could give this zero stars. Never did receive my order it's lost between DHL/USPS. GOLO refuse to refund money even though they can see (tracking) package is lost somewhere. They keep saying the only way they will issue a refund is by returning the package. What freaking package. I don't have one. PLEASE PLEASE DON'T ORDER FROM COMPANY.

Company Response from Golo, LLC

Feb 26, 2019

Hi Chase!

I am so sorry that you were unhappy with the shipping on your order. The order was placed on Monday 2/11 and shipped on Tuesday 2/13. Normal delivery time is 3-5 business days once the package has shipped out. According to the tracking it looks as if there was a weather delay and your package took 7 business days to arrive. I sincerely apologize that this happened but unfortunately we are unable to control this type of unforeseen issue that does happen at this time of year.

I can also see that you refused the package at the time of delivery and that as of today, 2/26/19, it is still in route back to us. When we receive the package we will be happy to issue you the appropriate refund.

If you have further questions, please feel free to contact Customer Support at 800-730-4656.

Sincerely,

Eden C.

I am so happy with the Release capsules. I want to know if I could continue taking them even after the recommended period of time. I have more energy now than ever and really haven't even begun to start the eating differently part of the program.

Hi Sharon!

Yes, you can continue to take Release as long as you like. It is safe for long-term use. However, you don't have to take it forever to maintain your weight loss. It is designed to be phased out as you reach your goal! If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us 800-730-4656 or support@golo.com.

This program works!

By Katie K., Grand Lake, CO, Verified Reviewer

I have to admit when I ordered GOLO, I was skeptical. Mainly because I have gained and lost weight pretty much my entire life. I came to the point where I was gaining weight extremely fast and having a difficult time losing it. I learned recently that I was probably dealing with insulin resistance. When I saw the GOLO commercial, it caught my attention. I was looking for a program that both my husband and I could do together. GOLO seemed like the perfect plan if it would address my insulin resistance. After being on GOLO for a month, I have already lost 20 lbs and my husband has lost 14 lbs! This is a gift from God, and I am thrilled with the product and the company!

It's worth the leap!

By Laura J., Paso Robles, CA, Verified Reviewer

My husband and I researched Golo for a couple of months after seeing it on a TV commercial. We decided that it was a clean, healthy and reasonably sustainable lifestyle change. I decided to take the leap and see what happens. I told myself, “As long as I feel better then it's worth it.”

The very first week I not only felt better but also lost weight. This cycle never stops. I am currently 34 lbs away from my 100 lb goal and I don't regret a single day!

It's worth it!

Five Stars!

By Toni H., Coleraine, MN, Verified Reviewer

I started my GOLO journey in August and have had tremendous success with this change in lifestyle. GOLO is NOT a diet, it is truly a lifestyle change. Learning to eat foods in the right combination of proteins, carbs, veggies and fats was extremely easy and the fantastic support I received from the GOLO coaches and my fellow GOLOers really sealed the deal!

Nourishing your body correctly is very important to me and GOLO helped me do that along with the supper supplement RELEASE. I’ve lost almost 25 pounds and I’m wearing those jeans that have been hanging in the back of my closet for a couple of years! GOLO is very easy to follow even when you’re eating out or on vacation.

Would I recommend GOLO to my friends and family? In a heartbeat! Thanks GOLO for helping me work towards my goal. I’m not there yet but I’m very confident that I will reach my goal with GOLO!

It's easy to follow and It WORKS!

By Victoria T., Washougal, WA, Verified Reviewer

Been on a roller coaster with weight since my early 30. For almost 20 years I struggled to lose weight. I would exercise an hour to two a day, 4 to 5 times a week and eat small meals that I considered healthy. I was diagnosed as being IR a few years back. Which makes it hard to control my weight. The fruits and low-fat food I thought of as healthy were actually hurting me, as I was not eating them with a protein, and carb, no matter how healthy turn to sugar.

The program was easy to follow and the weight started melting off. I was never hungry and often couldn't even eat all the food I was allowed. Between the eating plan and my continued exercise, I lost 69 lbs in a year.

Thank you GOLO. By the way, the support team within GOLO is amazing. Between the coaches and the other GOLO members, you never lack support.

#GOLO for life.

Love Golo!

By Mary Allen ., Verified Reviewer

I started Golo over 2 years ago. I lost 26 lbs in 110 days and managed to get to my goal weight of 145. I went off of Golo and for the most part, stayed on the plan, although got off track over the holidays. After 4 months I put back on 15 lbs. I decided to go back on Golo, took me a while longer to get back on track and then in August 2018 the weight started coming off easily. Now I’m back to my goal weight of 145 and I’m going to stay closer to the plan this time. My advice, take and start the Golo plan, it is the most effective plan I’ve ever tried. You do have to be willing to stop eating processed foods, stay away from soda pop and commit to dealing with your emotional eating. I highly recommend this plan.

Natural and easy way to good health

By Lisa C., Austin, MN, Verified Reviewer

I joined Golo in August of 2016. It took me a few weeks to get acquainted with the program. I also used that time to get myself emotionally ready for permanent change. Once I got started I adjusted my life and food habits slowly. I was 285 at that time and 56 years old. I know I need to be gentle and deliberate with the change in my life. Now it is June of 2018 and I am at 194 pounds. My whole attitude about food has changed. This is the most effortless and forgiving plan I have ever experienced. My boyfriend admires my willpower but I don't see it that way. I think of food as life-giving energy and health. I select healthy food and turn away unhealthy foods easily. I bake regularly but do not eat those baked goods. I have 30 pounds to my goal weight. And I feel great. Even my eyesight has improved! I am getting younger every day. Let's do this. Let's all be happy, healthy and have fun. Go GOLO!

Simple plan. Happy with the results

By Joe M., Florida, Verified Reviewer

Was searching for a solution to gaining weight and type 2 diabetes. Found Golo and thought I would give it a try. Did try Nutrisystem previously and the food was blah and very expensive.

I looked over the Golo plan and it seemed very simple. The hardest part would be reading food labels and deciding on the best choices. The website has tons of information about food and choices even in-depth recipes. There is a Facebook group that also is a great place for info and quick feedback on questions. I did not use the 800 number or the email for help but those are also options. A month on the plan and I lost 10 lbs, eliminated the need for daily pain medication and reduced the doctor prescribed blood pressure medication. What I found was the plan was very simple.

I also timed this before my normal blood work for my doctor. Everything is better than previous tests. The doctor says keep doing what I am doing. it is easy to follow as it is more of a lifestyle change than a diet. Once you understand what is good for you shopping becomes easy. You can treat yourself with things also.

Product Changed - Does Not Work

By Felix G., Oklahoma City, OK, Verified Reviewer

The Release dietary supplement initially put out by GOLO (containing Magnesium 30 mg, Zinc 5 mg, Chromium 70 mcg, and a Proprietary Blend of 405 mg was phenomenal. It was ideal for insulin management and weight loss. I know for I experienced it. I lost a lot of weight and my blood sugar was under control. However, not long ago, they changed the product by SIGNIFICANTLY reducing all the supplement ingredients. It is now a piece of junk. It no longer works. Tried to contact Customer Service about it. No response. The price for the product remains the same for the three-month supply. This means less cost for the company and more profit. No longer does this company seem to care about its customers or effectiveness of their product. It's just about profits. I will no longer purchase their product or recommend them to anyone else as I used to. Food for thought before you consider buying this product. Don't waste your hard-earned money! I recommend you research a competitor for their products. Good luck.

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

Company Response from Golo, LLC

Hi Felix!

GOLO reformulated our product in June 2017 however, the change actually increased the active ingredients in the proprietary blend and has received much better reviews from our customers. You see, the original supplement was a soft gel that was not vegetarian and it was also rather large and difficult for some to swallow. Based on customer feedback we made the decision to make a smaller, vegetarian pill. In order to do this, the ingredients were switched to powder instead of liquid. When the ingredients are delivered in powdered form, they are actually more concentrated than they are in liquid and this is how we were able to increase the potency in the new capsule that we offer.

Since the change, our customers have reported an increase in energy and much better results. I am truly sorry to hear that you feel that they don't work as well. I would love to speak with you personally to try to resolve your concerns. Please call 800-730-4656 and ask to speak with Eden.

Amazing From the Get

By Dana Vee, Pittsburgh, PA, Verified Reviewer

So at first I was super skeptical, you know all the things you hear about a lifestyle plan working? Well I will be the first one to say that I have been working at this for a while and I am seeing changes. What I keep in mind is that change does not happen overnight, weight did not appear overnight, change takes time. Inches are dropping and foods that go into my body are much better choices. It's all baby steps, and that is what I am taking.

Learning what to eat is the most important part of change and the education process of GOLO is amazing. Their customer service reps are helpful, always a call away and NO question has gone unanswered. Will I see my final loss goal? You bet because I am committed to GOLO on the scale and in my cholesterol, etc. This lifestyle that GoLo has created fits into my crazy schedule every single day. I am so happy I have found GoLo.

A program that really works

By Moxy Walker, Verified Reviewer

A year ago I had a hysterectomy, so then follows weight gain, sleepless nights (1 to 2 hours a night), hormones out of control, and feeling frustrated depressed and hopeless. I had tried the 800-calorie diet, I tried more strength training and more cardio, and walking 8 to 12 miles 7 days a week, just to find myself gaining more weight and getting more frustrated. I turn to my doctor and he said "You can't outrun your month." Now I'm even more frustrated.

My husband told me to not give up, so I started my research on weight gain etc. and I came across GOLO for life. I watched the video and read all the material, and when I read that it helps with hormone imbalance, it will improve your sleep, and repairs your metabolism, I'm trying it.

I am now at my goal weight, I sleep 7 hours every night, and my hot flashes have diminished tremendously! I can't say enough about this program; it has changed my life, and it is so simple, you just eat the right portions with the right combinations.

I'm a GOLOer for life.

Thank you.

Love GOLO!

By Leeann M., Saratoga Springs, Utah, Verified Reviewer

I have never felt better since I started GOLO on April 23rd, 2017. Love that they really care about my success. I am part of a community and we have a private Facebook support page and access to GOLO coaches. They have different fitness "challenges" such as yoga and an arm firming one. They don't up-sell me - all I purchase is a supplement called "Release" that I take with each meal.

I was eating all processed dinners and food out before and felt so awful all the time. All I tried GOLO for was to feel better. I knew I wouldn't lose weight. I now cook all my own food, which I never thought I would be able to do but it is easier than I imagined. I have not done the plan perfectly, but GOLO is very forgiving. I am really happy to say that I currently have lost 33 pounds! THIRTY-THREE! And am feeling so much better.

I have made friends online too and am actually exercising once in a while. And I'm eating so much food! I am super happy I tried GOLO and will continue with this journey as I feel good now. I am loving GOLO and hope to see you on our Facebook page soon!

Gained weight

By Renee G., Illinois, Verified Reviewer

I have always been between a size 2 and 6 my entire life and ate food constantly. When I turned 50, out of the blue I just started gaining weight. I gained 20 lbs over a two-year period and could not figure out why. As a matter of fact, I eat a fourth of what I used to eat. Because I do not fit into the normal category of overeaters or people that do not exercise (walk 3-5 miles every day), I decided to try GOLO. I am not sure if this is based on your body type, but I gained 5 pounds while taking this product.

Hi Renee!

GOLO is designed to be personalized to your activity level. Did you complete your Personal Metabolic Rate via our members only website to determine your daily food intake? If you did not follow our plan as directed and continued to eat as you did before this is probably why you did not see the results you were hoping for. Please give us a call at 800-730-4656 so that we can discuss and help you achieve your goal weight.

Love feeling steady all day!

By Cori Sivils, Lafayette, Indiana, Verified Reviewer

I love this program! I was skeptical like with any other informercial but the science behind it is what prompted me to order. Plus, I like eating clean. The supplements are all natural which was a big plus for me as well. They do what they say they are going to do which is keep your insulin/metabolism steady throughout the day. This is the most sensible “plan” out there. Breakfast is now my favorite meal of the day and I never ate breakfast unless it was for dinner.

Also, the staff/customer service is wonderful and supportive! The Facebook group has started doing exercise challenges each month which are very nice! I never would have tried yoga had it not been for them. I love GOLO!
