They don’t deliver on time (I’m not sure they would ever deliver) , then I have to chase them to cancel my order and process a refund!

Update… I got a refund.

Two weeks after I have paid and still no sensors delivered. Zero info on either tracking or status despite me pushing. I do however get messages from them asking why I still have not paired the sensors mind you. So that kind of explains this company I guess. Seems as though they oversell and have either massive economical or quality issues as they just do not seem to be able to deliver what they market.
I will update if and when they arrive as to how they work but this is not a good start.

Update after 4 weeks
Still no kit so have asked for a refund. They accepted and also apparently have sent the sensors so I will try them as I was a dedicated client. I guess problems happen but this could have been handled differently and better I guess. I will update if and when they arrive.

Update 23.01.25.
The product never arrived but I did get a bill from the tax authorities as they were to toll process these sensors. So now I am 80 euros out of pocket for import duties and VAT. I guess they were lost by DHL or UPS as this bill would never have come without the package arriving in Norway. I have given up

I am trying to be positive but I have used up all my original sensors and replacement ones as only one of them worked for a few days. I have none left now.
It looks like I am not the only one with this problem.
Do Limbo know why the sensors do not work? Do they call any of their customers to talk them through their queries?
The customer service one sentence answers telling you go to through all the troubleshooting isn't good enough.
If my next sensor doesn't work I will be looking for a refund, I was really hopeful about this but am losing patience with it now and the customer service.
Very disappointed

I was really hopeful that this would be the thing to change my knowledge and relationship with food. In reality it’s hugely expensive, not effective and worryingly restrictive.
It doesn’t allow for fruit or whole grains, so to keep your line flat you have to eat meat, eggs and green veg only.
The feedback I got was obviously ai generated and in some instances didn’t make sense or relate to the food I’d eaten.
My sensor stopped working two or three times daily, which meant that I had to keep taking the transmitter on and off and resetting it.
The support is so as well and doesn’t actually answer the issues that you ask, it just takes a best guess.
Please save your money and eat a healthy balanced diet. Don’t cut out whole food groups - whilst it might lead to weight loss you’ll end up deficient in essential vitamins and fibre.
Don’t fall for this quick fix the way I did, I’ve ended up £200 out of pocket, I feel awful physically, very tired and I wish I’d never got involved with it.

Since I did the ZOE programme last year, where I monitored my blood sugar, I have been looking into the science further. It was disappointing not to lose weight with ZOE, despite hearing that some people have, but I did learn a couple of interesting things. And then I came across an advert for Limbo which monitors blood sugar specifically to understand weight and metabolism, and teach you how to lose weight.

It’s a night and day difference. Limbo is like a trainer who advises you (well “advise” or sometimes “harangues”) into changes in your habits based on the live blood glucose data in the app.

I’m now almost a full stone down in weight, I’m eating better, and on a clear path to hit my goal. Absolutely fantastic programme.

Limbo just isn’t for me! Learned an expensive lesson, this type of programme just isn’t for me or my body.

In my view, the marketing and advertisement of the product on instagram doesn’t reflect that in order to stay in Limbo - you must follow a carb free menu plan. Users do need to be very tech savvy (all via app and AI) as well as adopt a pretty similar diet to Keto for this to be impactful. With a busy work & family life to manage, cooking carb free meals for myself outside of the family choices wasn’t working and I didn’t want to feel as restricted as I did.

The sensor was easy to insert but I repeatedly ran into monitoring issues after about 7 days on each one despite being careful. Customer service issued replacements without any hassle but coupled with skin irritation and itching (despite changing the type of adhesive) meant I became frustrated and opted not to continue with placing the sensors after three devices.

The AI responses were very harsh and critical, I found myself unappreciative of the advice given such was its tone and soon became less likely to make an entry. It also gave the different feedback for the same meals with was confusing. The circle community were very supportive with options for joining informative expert led sessions, lots of recipes and further help and support, many members achieved great weight loss results with their strict adoption of the approach and maintenance of their limbo line. The plan and approach does and can work. It just requires a really significant ongoing, dedicated and strict commitment.

I still learned a lot about how certain food choices can spike my levels and know what to avoid in future. My advice, if spending the initial outlay, ensure you research the meal plans fully and can meet the expected requirements for results. My regret is that I didn’t research the product more and make a wider decision with my money like a personal trainer or gym membership. In future, I’d buy a cheaper glucose monitor on Amazon to do much the same thing!

The tracking is useful but the feedback is too generic and can be inconsistent. Plus customer service isn’t great - two of my messages got lost and got late responses.

In the app, I’ve had negative feedback and positive feedback about the same dinner eaten on two consecutive days which was confusing. I’ve also had unhelpfully generic feedback saying this meal isn’t a good choice when it’s been a low carb dish - I need more precise feedback to know which bit of the meal was a problem.

And just before the half way point, my sensor broke. I was advised to use the replacement sensor but that doesn’t work either. I’m waiting to hear back.

Basically the idea is great and you can learn how your body react but if just buy a BG monitor in future. At this point in time, I don’t think Limbo is worth the money.

I’ll update my review if/when the sensor issue is resolved and I’ve completed the whole month.

Dear Limbo,

Despite multiple emails regarding tracking deliveries, calibrating my sensors, and attempting to stop the previously cancelled renewal, your response only reinforces the issues mentioned in my previous review. A company with proper standards should provide a refund to an unhappy customer as soon as it becomes apparent that an outstanding service hasn't been provided. I have lost count of the emails I have sent to you.

Kind Regards,
Nadata

This is a five star review for the plain and simple reason it's delivered what previously proved impossible.

As a sugar seeker all my life, I signed up to try to help me stay away from the sweet stuff. 10 weeks later, 10 kg lighter with improved cholesterol I was stunned to fit into my wedding dress from almost 30 years ago.

Limbo isn't always easy and for sure I could list complaints, but that's beside the point. On a choice by choice basis it enabled me to more often than not, make the choice that's better for my health. Which is a game changer that nothing else has delivered.

Limbo makes it hard to consistently make poor choices, the ones that I've been trying to get away from making for years, when the impact of those choices quickly stares me in the face on my Limbo line.

I'd highly recommend this for anyone battling a sweet tooth and feeling forever trapped in a sugar cycle.

Basically this is a carb free diet, if you want to commit to zero carbs for the duration of using the device this is then the diet for you. However if you even have a small amount in your diet you get negative feedback and it skews the limbo line (I.e one potato at dinner for example).

If you take paracetamol whilst using the device it also skews the limbo line so the accuracy is thrown off.

I found that information is hard to come by for the product also and it’s very much “DIY” with a link to a video on this or that.

I gave 2 stars because in fairness if you want to sign up for no carbs I am certain you will get results. However much cheaper ways of achieving this and for me the marketing and advertisement of the product on instagram doesn’t reflect that it’s a carb free diet plan.

Wish I kept my 300 quid for a gym membership! Way overpriced.

I really want this to work and it promises a great deal of assistance with my weight loss journey, the sensor that connects to my arm (or stomach) just keeps coming out even though ive followed the application instructions thoroughly... they seem to loosen as soon as i start exercising, ive been promised some adhesive patches when my replacement sensors come (yes ive lost two in as many days due to the adhesive on the sensor not working efficiently.
On a positive note the app is rea;;y easy to use and unlike some my customer service support has been very good and efficient....any suggestions to help keeping the sensor in place as i exercise 4-5 times a week and have a physical job

Thanks

Poor Customer Service. After
4 days with my Limbo , I’m still not ‘connected’. I’ve had 2 emails from ‘humans’ the longest 3 sentences and only one response a day apart from lots of irritating generic automated responses. My initial instructions came via What’s App which I missed as I was expecting emails. I’m hearing great results from Limbo , but Customer Service is really abysmal.

After 2/3 years of trying to lose weight Limbo has helped me succeed where I had failed in the past.
It is hard work and there are sacrifices like most weight loss/ wellness journeys but the difference with Limbo is I now have the information to know what foods affect my body in a good and not so good way. To see these affects in real time on your monitor is startling and so effective. I have lost weight and gained so much useful , beneficial information for life.
As someone who would genetically have had a high chance of developing diabetes I am so lucky to have been able to do this . It’s a big investment but what I have gained physically and knowledge wise ,it was worth every penny. The customer care were always on hand to help also and the support in general is excellent. If you are considering it …Go for it.
You won’t regret it.

Life changing experience. At first I was always in the red but within 2 weeks I was able to make some changes with help from the app and the coaching, and in just the first month I lost 5kg. Hit my goal weight in 2 months, the first time in years, and I now understand my metabolism so I can keep the weight off. thrilled and delighted.

Poor support and equipment- The sensor stopped working while on holiday, I sent an email to Limbo support, the email was acknowledged but I heard nothing since the acknowledgment. The clip that the sensor sits in then fell off. I raised a follow up query with Limbo support, the email was acknowledged but no follow up from Limbo.

So its an interesting weight loss method. It's monitoring your blood sugar level. Everytime you eat a carbohydrate it will spike. So its gamified. You try to keep the line in the green and level. If you don't eat carbohydrates you won't spike therefore its most likely you will lose weight. The issue is really what are you paying for. You are paying for a monitor and a receiver. Both of which you could buy for much less on the internet. You are also Paying for the "AI" App on the phone. This monitors blood sugar - which the sensor gives you for free if you didn't have Limbo. It's not a great monitor, its two part, sensor and transmitter. Can be tricky to click together and take off. My first one was a bit flaky but then worked away. The AI then is not particularly intelligent. Put in bread as a word and it will instantly send a message. It's just looking for key words. Put in Chicken and Salad and it will say great choice. You are not paying for much really. There is online support. A bit slow in my experience. There is a community page, very quiet. Lots of advice but its all the same, no carbs. There is a book you can buy by one of the management. How you can eat fast food and still lose weight. Get burgers without bun, throw the outside of KFC in the bin , silly stuff really.
It's all basically the same thing - eat no carbs. Ie No bread, biscuits, chocolate, cereals (including porridge), nothing sweet, no pasta, rice, potatoes etc). This is a very effective weight loss program. Stick to that and you will lose alot of weight.
The blood monitoring is a clever feature, not really necessary but a good constant reminder. You will lose weight on Limbo.
The downside is the cost. I think you are not getting much for your money outside the sensor and transmitter. To be effective its more of less Zero carbs. I'm not sure that is healthy. This type of severe weight loss carries risks with Gallstones and Kidney Stones especially if you are eating alot of red meat and not drinking enough to wash through that type of diet. It's not restricted to this diet - an 800 Calorlie diet gives a similar risk. You'd want to be careful you are getting all necessary vitamins, fibre and calcium on a diet like this.
So in summary does it work - yes.
Is it good value for money - no not really. If you have money to burn then its a good option. Constant reminders do help you stop eating carbs.
Just a further note. I just extended there for 3 months but noticed its set to Auto-renew after the 3 months. There is no way on the website to avoid this or turn it off. You have to ring or email to cancel further subscriptions. I thought it very deceptive.

Limbo provided me with fascinating insights on what ACTUALLY works for me - from when and what to eat to what time working out really works for me - I have found the individualised information fantastic. I have discovered how intermittent fasting really works for me and have avoided 'fad' eating, just refining to get better results. The app and interaction has gotten better and better and continues to do so - and I am excited to see what more is to come.

Fantastic, life changing way to lose weight. I was a bit concerned before about some of the reviews, but if you actually follow the data and coaching Limbo gives you, it works almost like magic. It's based on tracking your blood glucose, which is how your metabolism handles the food you eat. the 'Limbo Line' will tell you if you're eating the right balance of proteins, fat, carbs, and steer you in the right direction. It's really simple and it really works.

If you have a basic understanding of nutrition, then don’t waste your money. Both my partner and I embarked on the Limbo journey. We changed all of our eating habits and food choices. For the changes we made the results were very disappointing and for the cost of it, we would never do this again. You can purchase the sensor and monitor the results yourself without having to be ripped off by using the limbo app. The app is not user friendly, lacks a decent user interface and the the AI behind the choices prompt is horrendous, even condescending comes to mind. We had multiple issues with the sensors not working and they were replaced but that shouldn’t happen full stop. Also; what they don’t tell you is that if you take Vitamin C or Paracetamol it spikes the reading and shows you out of limbo when actually you’re in Limbo.. so you may be compliant but if you’re in pain and take a pain killer, you don’t have accurate readings.

Complete waste of time, and would love a refund for the money wasted on this n

I have literally tried every single diet but never anything as supportive and revolutionary as Limbo. I am just over 2 weeks in and 3.7kg down. While I know a lot of nutrition, I never knew exactly how my body would react to certain foods. It is the most tailored plan you will ever do. I cannot recommend Limbo enough!
