How long do I need?
You'll notice a change in as little as a week. And after your fourth week, whether you continue is completely up to you.
Each person is unique, and the speed of the results depends on two factors:
1) Your unique body – how you react to foods, and how your body adapts to changes.
2) How fast you want to go – some members prefer a slower, steady pace; others want a faster timeline.

The main elements of Limbo
1. Limbo on your iPhone
At the heart of the system is a simple line, continuously logged on a timeline by your body. Learn to manage this and you will lose weight.
2. Blood glucose monitor
The line is a representation of your blood glucose levels. This is a live view of your body's energy level, created by a Bluetooth-connected sensor.
3. Activity tracking
This gives us a full picture of what's affecting your energy by reporting heart rate, movement, sleep and more.
4. Digital weigh-ins
This is a scientific approach to weight loss, so you'll measure the things you can to track progress.
Eric's revolution
"I lost my dad early – I didn’t want the same for my kids"
Eric was concerned about future health issues and used Limbo to see how his metabolism worked, then make lots of small positive changes. You can read Eric's story, or watch Eric describe his Limbo experience:
Mary's revolution
Mary is the CEO of a co-working space in Galway, Ireland. Her work life is hectic and, on top of that, she is a mum of two teenagers. Understanding and changing her metabolism with Limbo opened up dramatic improvements in energy, and significant weight loss. Read Mary's story.

Helen's revolution
"I am no longer pre diabetic. My routine dieting achieved nothing, Limbo was responsible entirely."
By seeing her metabolism and making small changes, Helen got dramatic results, losing 15kg, which was 25% of her body weight. You can read Helen's story, or watch her talk about her newfound energy:
We covered an "Introduction to Limbo" in a recent webinar, which includes all of the most common FAQs people have about Limbo. You can replay it here.
Time and cost
The price of Limbo is higher than other diet apps – why is that?
Most of the subscription price for Limbo goes towards the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors – they cost well over €/£100 for 2. But these are essential to success, because, as of today, the CGM is the only technology that can properly track your body's energy system continuously and in detail. Here is why Limbo costs what it does.
What's the cost of the whole programme?
You can get started with Limbo from just 295, including your first month. Continuing after that is optional – use it as long as you need. If you're seeing results in the first month, extend the program until you hit your goal.
Even if you only do Limbo for one month, you'll learn a lot about your body.
How long do I need to go on Limbo?
It's up to you! You start with a month – and learn a lot about your body – then after that, you decide how long you want to use it for. You're in charge.
What's the normal length of time people use Limbo for?
A very common length of time is 3 to 4 months. In that timespan, you'll typically lose over 10kg, and 'reboot' your diet and lifestyle to something sustainable.
Is it all-inclusive?
Yes. The CGM sensors, app and coaching are all included in the Limbo fee.
What's expected of me
What's expected of me – do I have to change my life a lot?
In general, you don't have to change a lot, but you'll want to. As Limbo shows you how food works in your body, you'll start making new, choices almost automatically, and your new awareness is not something you can 'unlearn'.
But you don't have to change things: there's no prescribed diet, packaged meals, exercise routines, 'forbidden' foods and so on. Limbo is different to all the traditional weight loss systems you've tried. Data, not guesswork and rules.
Do I have to count calories?
No. You will note your meals and other activities – a few words, or a photo will suffice. It's minimal effort and there's no tedious logging of calories or ingredients.
Do I have to go to the gym?
No. The gym is optional. If you want to, then great. But it's not a mandatory part of Limbo, and some members lose a lot of weight without any strenuous exercise whatsoever.
Food and diet
What changes will I need to make in my diet?
Limbo does not have a set diet. It shows you your body's energy system – blood glucose – and pushes you to foods that work well for your body. That said, it will – in general – push you more towards proteins, fats, fibre, and away from sugars and carbohydrates.
What foods does Limbo recommend?
Limbo is agnostic about specific foods but it biases towards proteins and fats, rather than carbohydrates, because these have a lower glycaemic index – they spike blood glucose less than sugary foods.
Day-to-day life
Can I swim/shower/do normal things wearing Limbo?
Yes you can! The devices are waterproof, include patches to cover them, and can fit into virtually any lifestyle.
How often do I need to change my Limbo sensors?
Each sensor has a maximum life of about 2 weeks, after which you peel it off, throw it away, and apply a new one. We send you 2 of them each subscription period.
Can I play extreme sports?
Some of our members play contact sports. What we advise is extra protection – stickers and patches – to avoid knocking off the glucose sensors. Many professional sportspeople wear CGMs – it's doable.
What's a CGM?
What is a CGM?
A continuous glucose monitor is a small patch, that sticks to your arm for 14 days at a time, then you peel it off and stick a new one on. It's painless to apply and to wear (you'll often forget you're wearing it)
Does it go under the skin?
Each CGM comes with an applicator that sticks it on. There's a tiny filament – about the width of a cat's whisker – that sits just under the skin. Once it's applied, you won't feel yourself wearing it.
Does it hurt to put it on?
No, it doesn't. Most people are surprised that they barely felt a thing when they put their first one on. They describe it like a slap of the arm with two fingertips.

Not only does that lead to weight loss, you’ll feel more energetic and improve your health.

Does it really work?
The Irish Times' Ciara O'Brien lost 9kg in 50 days. Read her story.
"After 50 days on Limbo, I’ve lost more than 9kg, the weight I’ve struggled to lose for about six years. Clothes that still had labels on them, hanging in my wardrobe, have been worn. The Spanx have been relegated to the back of the wardrobe for now.
I’ve changed how I eat – and when. No more late-night snacking, no more blowouts with the promise that I’ll start over tomorrow. You can’t hide from Limbo, with the data there in front of you."
