Medical Director of Diet Doc Says There are Better Weight Loss Options than the ‘GOLO Diet’ for Patients with Insulin Resistance

Salisbury, MD, Sept. 13, 2017 -- Dr. Nishant Rao, medical director of Diet Doc – a nationally-based medical weight loss program seeks to clear up misconceptions about the role that insulin levels play when it comes to weight loss. The GOLO diet plan is a fad diet, which peaked in its popularity in 2016, is a program designed to cause weight loss by managing insulin levels (operating under the false belief that calorie intake is not a factor in weight loss or gain). The GOLO diet has three phases or tiers: Intervention, Meal Plan and Roadmap. Dr. Rao takes issue with this tier-based system, noting that “The tiers use common over-the-counter products as supplements; all of which have negligible impacts on blood sugar and insulin. Though some ingredients can work as a laxative, which is a common strategy among weight loss OTC pills.”

Consequently, there are more issues with this style of dieting. “Many people who have blood sugar levels within normal range and don’t have insulin resistance will find little benefit in this niche diet,” says Dr. Rao. Also keep in mind that the GOLO diet also refers insulin states which are not referenced in scientific literature, such as insulin maintenance or insulin performance (which isn’t a thing). Furthermore, all ingredients in GOLO diet supplements are readily available over-the-counter at a very low cost and most of the of the diet’s benefits can be readily attained through simple healthy eating. Simply put, Dr. Rao says, “There isn’t anything breakthrough about this diet.”

Diet Doc acknowledges that some patients have insulin resistance behind their struggles with weight management. “For these people Diet Doc has two formulated compounded prescription medications which will decrease blood glucose and improve insulin resistance at a much more potent level of action,” says Dr. Rao. Any patient struggling with insulin resistance can utilize these prescriptions after a thorough consultation and approval by one of Diet Doc’s certified physicians. At Diet Doc, insulin levels can be managed in conjunction with individualized diet planning and doctor supervision for fast, effective weight loss and health improvements overall.
