GOLO users

Would anyone out there that has used GOLO weight loss product mind answering some questions? 1\.
Did you have any side effects? My wife did the Livea thing way back before it was Livea.
While it worked quite well for her (she lost 50lbs in 6-8 months) the food gave her diarrhea.
But it also worked for me.
Since she wasn’t cooking regular meals like we had been having before, I also lost 15-20lb.
2\.
What life style changes did you make? I keep fairly active.
Play volleyball for two hours twice a week through the fall and winter months, and try to play pickleball at least once a week.
I’m usually busy doing something all day, mostly some kind of wood working project, but almost every day I stop for a quick nap somewhere between 2:00pm and 4:00pm.
3\.
What diet changes did you make? I’m a snacker with very little will power.
I know this is a big reason I weigh as much as I do.
My biggest problem is, almost every night before I go to bed I have some kind of snack, usually about eight crackers with meat and cheese with a 50/50 mix fruit juice and water.
And I know snacking isn’t so much the problem as what I chose for a snack.

The big question – did it work for you? Did you reach your target weight? Did you make it in a reasonable length of time for how much you wanted to lose? I would like to lose 20 – 25 pounds.
If I make at least some effort, I can hover around the same weight week to week, give or take a pound or two.
5\.
Once you achieved your target, were you able to maintain it without the product? As with many diet efforts, we’ve both gained all the weight back.
Thanks for any advice.
