The world's most effective weight loss programme
Limbo is the best way to lose weight and gain energy, by taking charge of your metabolism.
What are the results?
Members using Limbo lose an average of almost 9% of their body weight in the first three months, and 21% in a year. That translates to just under 10kg lost in three months, around two clothing sizes. But remember: these are averages. You control how fast you go, and Limbo will show you the way. Some lose weight much faster:
Astonishing results
-
Several friends recommended Limbo as a way to see my metabolism and understand the right diet for me, so I gave it a try, and it’s worked wonders. It’s based on measuring your blood sugar continuously with a little device that sticks to your arm. The app will then guide you on the foods to eat, and what to avoid, if you want to improve your energy and lose weight. Amazing results so far, and totally painless.

Highly recommended - lost 20kg over 5 months. It is personalised near instant feedback. Coupled with exercise and no whacky diets/starvation - this is the best way to ensure sustainable weight loss!

Just finished my second month, and it’s made a big difference to my weight and overall energy levels. Really glad I joined up.

A friend of mine tried the Limbo programme last year with great success, but it was out of my price range, so when I discovered the price had lowered this year, I was eager to try it out.

A month in, and I can feel and see the difference. This is nothing like the usual weight loss system you may be used to. You wear a patch on your arm - the glucose patch - which is similar to what many diabetics wear. Then, you use the Limbo app to see how your body handles different foods. It gives out alright when you eat something that spikes your levels, but there’s no better way to learn your body and what’s right for you. Absolutely delighted with the results thus far.

It is eye opening to see the effects of some normal foods on my blood sugar levels. It’s made me look at food labels more closely and being more informed about what I eat. I have started to cook a lot more as I had started to rely on delivery services. I feel better and my clothes fit better. I’m back to getting up for my morning walk just in time for cold & wet mornings

What happens after you order
Once you order Limbo online, here is the process for getting started on the programme:
FAQs
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.
What's the cost of the whole programme?
You can get started with Limbo for 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.
Does it really work?
The Irish Times' Ciara O'Brien lost 9kg in 50 days.
"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."
