The metabolic reset

Modern life sends our metabolism a bit haywire.

Your Limbo program will lead you to a metabolic reset over the first weeks. It means bringing your system back to ‘factory settings’ i.e. the way your metabolism evolved to work before modern life sent it haywire.

Two weeks should be enough for most people to achieve a metabolic reset.

Three months in Limbo should change your lifestyle for good. But it's just the start.

Getting to the metabolic reset

Control your glucose line and you’ll affect several metabolic hormones: insulin and incretins.

After you’ve kept the line under control for a few weeks, you should start to notice some major changes in your energy levels and on the scales.

This is the kind of message you might see when you achieve a regular flat line:

Blood glucose affects insulin

The first metabolic signal that you can get control of is insulin. When your insulin is raised, you’ll be in energy storage mode.

Insulin is a hormone made by your pancreas. It helps move glucose out of your blood and into your cells, where it can be used for energy or stored for later. Every time you eat carbohydrates, your blood glucose rises and insulin is released to bring it back down.

The more frequently and dramatically your blood glucose spikes, the more insulin your body needs to produce. Over time, this can lead to insulin resistance, where your cells stop responding properly. When that happens, body-fat usage slows, hunger increases, and weight loss becomes harder.

In Limbo, you focus on flattening your glucose line to keep insulin low and steady, so your body can get back to burning stored energy and losing fat.

And incretins?

Incretins are hormones your body releases in response to food. They help you:

  • Go into energy storage mode at the right time
  • Regulate appetite (so you feel full when you should)
  • Slow down digestion (to avoid spikes and crashes)
  • Boost insulin sensitivity (so you store less fat)

They act like metabolic traffic lights coordinating when your body stores energy, burns fat, and feels hunger. But here’s the problem…

Incretins can’t do their job properly when your glucose and insulin are all over the place.

If you’re causing spikes and crashes in your line (even in the zone), these powerful hormones get drowned out. Over time, your body becomes resistant to its own appetite signals. Hunger turns chaotic. Fat-burning switches off.

This is where most people get stuck — and where Limbo comes in.

The reset you’re aiming for

By keeping your blood glucose stable:

✅ You improve insulin sensitivity

✅ You get incretins like GLP-1 working properly

✅ You restore proper hunger and fullness cues

✅ You return to fat-burning mode (ketosis + gluconeogenesis)

✅ You reset your weight set point (the weight your body defends)

In short: you can get your system to start listening to itself again. And when that happens, everything changes: appetite, cravings, sleep, energy and body composition.

What comes next? Metabolic flexibility

After the reset comes freedom. You’ll know what foods work for your body. You’ll have more wiggle room. You’ll bounce back faster. You’ll feel better than you have in years.

But first: focus on the reset.

Your body knows what to do, Limbo just coaches you into giving it the space to remember.
