2-4 weeks When following the GOLO for Life® Plan, most people start to see results sometime within the first 2-4 weeks. Some will lose pounds first, and others will lose inches.

“The GOLO Diet encourages the consumption of whole foods, including lean proteins, fruits, vegetables and healthy fats, while minimizing the intake of processed foods, refined carbohydrates and added sugars,” explains Chun.

BOTTOM LINE: The GOLO Diet focuses on managing insulin levels through supplements, diet, and exercise to promote weight loss. It may be effective, but some people may find it pricey and challenging. And research on its potential benefits is limited.

The Golo diet is a calorie-restricted diet, which is likely why some people lose weight on it. The money you spend is for the Release supplement, a formula containing herbs and minerals designed to help you control your blood sugar and insulin.

While GOLO is unaware of any potential adverse effects, we recommend that you do not take Release while pregnant or if you are breastfeeding. However, the GOLO For Life Plan is a well-balanced and safe meal plan that can be followed by anyone. We recommend that you show your doctor the GOLO materials before starting.
