Golo 'Release' Anybody tried it?
https://www.golo.com/?variant=b
I woke up at 2am one night,couldn't sleep, and turned on the tv as this infomerical was starting. What they were saying made a lot of sense to me, and it sounded as if they were talking about my specific weight problem,so I decided to buy it. Starting it today, and fingers crossed, hope it helps. I know there's no magic pill to lose weight and stay healthy, but if this can assist me, I will be thankful.
Just curious, has anybody tried this or had success with it? Thanks

Everything on that website is a lie. Most people who have trouble losing weight have all of the factors listed as the reason for using that product, and it has nothing to do with insulin resistance. That's how they are able to sell it. Convince normal people that they're abnormal and the only way to become normal is to buy their junk. Anyone who suffers from actual insulin resistance will tell you it's a load of crap.10

I appreciate the responses,and opinions, but I hope to hear from People who have tried it.1

So how is it going? I've only been at this (MFP) one week. Just trying to figure things out.
We all try something.... hope that works for you.0 -

I certainly don't think it will hurt,my food intake is terrible from terrible sources. Took the pill about 2.5 hours with small breakfast,so far,no hunger,I took it with a 20oz water, and have been nursing a cup of coffee for 90 minutes,so,some combination is holding me over, normally with a real light breakfast,I am starting to get hungry around 11:30. Today's lunch, 2 hardboiled eggs,celery,carrots,and peanut butter

Advertisements are designed to make people feel it's about them. They aren't always speaking the truth. You don't have to have tried this to understand that it's a scam, you just have to apply critical thinking. You have that in you, too, you are skeptical, that's why you asked here. Too bad you did it after you opened the bottle, but that way you have paid for your lesson, and that's fair.
If you have to hope and cross fingers, it sounds that you believe in magic. Stop that. Weight loss is simple mathematics - taking in fewer calories than you burn. What you need, is consistently doing that, for a long, long time. No pills can assist. If they could, you wouldn't have to eat less, would you?19 -

One doesn't have to have sent money to a Nigerian prince to advise someone that it's a scam.
One doesn't have to have sent money to collect winnings on a foreign lottery to advise someone that it's a scam.
One doesn't have to have bought a $40 bottle of diet pills to advise someone that it's a scam.

Of course,I understand that,but there's obviously differences in one person's Body to another person's,and their metabolism is different. What reasons can cause these differences? For example, I work with a Guy that leads a sedentary lifestyle like me, and we will both eat the same bad things at the same times, I continue to gain weight, and he can't put on weight and has resorted to drinking shakes to gain. Neither of us exercises like we should, yet,we have completely different outcomes.
I like MFP because you can track your exercise & calories, and I agree, burn more calories then you take in,and you should lose weight. But the reason I even tried these pills is, because the weight seems to add on me very quickly yet is hard to shed. I guess I am looking for anything as an aide to my weight loss.

Do you want to be spending money on these pills the rest of your life? Because like most of these late night products and work out fads, most people just bloat back to their original weight once they stop because they don't learn anything. Once you stop taking the pills and your old appetite comes back, you won't have learned how to control and regulate yourself and will binge eat.
Do it right, do it slow and do it permanently. I've done many crash diets and failed because I wanted to keep my lifestyle the same. Only now when I'm working towards a better and healthier eating habit does it feel like I can keep the weight off. I tried to binge eat a dinner the other day, and just couldn't come close to eating how much I use to, and I've only been at this for around 40 days. I have a long way to go, but I definitely feel like I have changed for the better with my eating habits instead of relying on a crutch to cover up the main issue, which is just that I had no idea how little my body actually needed compared to these massive serving sizes are available to us.4 -

I'm not sure you do understand... Focus on you. You don't see everything your colleague eats and drinks every day. If he's underweight, chances are he'll exaggerate his intake, just as any overweight person would underestimate his/hers.
If you aren't losing weight, you aren't using the food diary correctly. You need to set it up right, tell MFP that you want to lose 1% of your body weight per week. Then weigh everything you eat and drink, log it, and also use correct entries (doublecheck nutritional values). If you eat back exercise calories, cut those in half. Stick to this, diligently, consistently and without cheating or "forgetting", and weight will come off. We have different personalities and preferences, but the human body works in the same way for everybody, and our metabolisms aren't that different.
There are no bad foods as long as it's not toxic or spoilt. You just have to exert portion control - see above. That said, some foods are easier to overeat than others. You'll want to find a balance where you get in good nutrition, feel full and satisfied, manage weight, and enjoy life, including eating. This takes time and effort, and you don't want to waste any of your attention on pills, or crazy diets, if you are contemplating that too.9 -

No one's metabolism is different enough from other people's that they need a pill to increase it, unless it's due to a legit medical problem, in which case you would see a doctor to be diagnosed and any medications you take are to treat the underlying issue, not to boost your metabolism. No goofball placebo/caffeine pill from the tv or the internet or a women's magazine will make a bit of difference.

Is he younger than you? Is he tall? He may be more active than he lets on. All those things factor into how many calories HIS body needs to sustain life vs how many YOUR body needs. There are many, many more factors than just the ones I mentioned. You cannot compare yourself to anyone else.4 -

I'm not commenting on the useless woo pills, but why are you eating so little? You said you had a small breakfast, and then for lunch you only had two eggs, some veggies, and peanut butter? What's your calorie goal for the day?0 -
I pretty much live by the adage that "If it has a 2am infomercial, it's a scam".12

Well, yeah... they do need to air out.1 -
I'm diabetic, which I've controlled through diet. Do you need the pills? Maybe, if your are a diabetic in which case you should be under a doctor's care, right? I'll say this, from what I know about my disease, much of the website is more or less correct, although clearly they have something to sell, don't they? But are you diabetic or are you just getting too many calories from simple sugars? I disagree with some of the others - yeah, there are bad foods! Cut out your candy and your soda before buying into this pill plan you saw on late night TV. Find some common sense quality foods that work for you. You may not need their pills, but you do need to plan. Plenty of recipes on this website. Don't starve yourself. Shoot for about 500 per meal with another 300 or so for snacks for an 1800 calorie per day diet. Ask your doctor. Make little changes: Don't eat after 6PM at night and don't eat before 0700 - eat only during daylight hours (more or less). Drink water only - no soda. Cut back on the beer! Stop putting sugar and creamer in your coffee, etc. Be less sedentary. Start walking 3 miles in the morning or run if you can! Make your exercise exceed your food intake by 100 calories or more per day. Walk some more. Take the stairs at work. And be patient! It took me a year, but I lost 35 pounds and four inches from my waist. My blood sugar is normal and I look and feel great - Good luck! Keep getting smart on this. You can do it!6
