The GOLO Diet is a weight loss program that focuses on balancing hormone levels and managing insulin to support weight loss. The program includes three main components: the GOLO Release supplement, a guidebook, and an online community. The diet encourages eating healthy whole foods and increasing exercise, which can theoretically aid weight loss. The GOLO Release supplement contains a proprietary blend of plant-based ingredients and minerals that the company claims can help you regain metabolic balance and support overall well-being. The program claims to kick-start your metabolism, boost energy levels, and increase fat loss simply by balancing your hormone levels. The diet is calorie-restricted, which is likely why some people lose weight on it. The program promises quick weight loss and better health without counting calories or tracking nutrients. The GOLO Diet is based on getting your insulin under control, rather than reducing caloric intake or cutting out entire food groups, as the key to a properly functioning metabolism. The program claims to help you lose weight and keep it off for good by balancing the hormones that affect weight and repairing metabolic health. The program claims to help you lose an average of 1-2 pounds per week. Although several company-funded and -conducted studies have shown that the GOLO Diet may aid weight loss, more research is needed to determine whether it’s more effective than other regimens.
