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.

Having enough water in your body is essential for health. Even when your body's hydration levels drop just a little, it can cause headaches, dizziness, tiredness and loss of focus.

Understanding glucose
🧠 There’s a lot to learn. The first week is about discovering how your metabolism works.
📆 You'll get more guidance and resources in the second week.
Just get used to watching your line and logging things on your timeline in the early days.
Your first week
🍽️ Start off eating and drinking as you had planned to.
💬 Pay attention to messages and click the links in them.
📈 You'll gradually learn what's causing spikes and how to avoid them.
🚀 Seeing how certain foods affect your line will help you learn about your unique metabolism.
📉 Don’t worry about your line going high or low. It’s perfectly normal and your body will deal with it.
〜 But as your line gets flatter, you'll start to lose weight.
😩 Make gradual improvements, not big sweeping changes.
🤞 Treat each food/drink choice as another chance to start or maintain a habit.
