Why is Limbo the price it is?
One of the first reactions of many people seeing Limbo for the first time is: "that looks expensive!" We'd like to explain why Limbo costs what it does – and why many people say "it's the best money I ever spent."
Glucose sensors are expensive
But they are currently the only way to measure metabolism accurately
Limbo includes 2 sensors every month, to give 24-7 body data for the entire programme. If you bought them at a pharmacy or shop, they cost around £/€60 each including VAT. Total would be: £/€120 each month.
Intensive coaching is expensive
Limbo uses both AI and expert humans to coach you to your goal
24-7 coaching to improve your meals and habits – around 5-10 pieces of feedback each day. The average cost of personal trainer or nutritionist sessions is £/€65 each. Total for 8 sessions, just two per week: £/€520 per month
Separate cost:
> £/€600 per month
Limbo cost:
1/3 the price
Limbo vs traditional approaches
The way to evaluate the price of any weight loss approach is not just the 'sticker price' – the amount paid up front – but the actual amount spent to per pound or kilo successfully lost. We'd call this the 'true cost' of a weight loss programme.
Researchers in a 2010 American study* calculated this true cost: the actual amount, in US dollars per pound of weight, that people were spending to achieve weight loss. They found that the average individual spent $173 for each pound (lb) of weight successfully reduced. This is the equivalent of $240 spent per pound (lb) adjusted for 2023 inflation:
Traditional weight loss:
£225
spent, to successfully lose each pound
£30
spent, per pound
While the 'sticker price' of Limbo may seem high at first glance, the true cost of Limbo is far less.
Limbo vs meds or surgery
Instead of comparing Limbo to outdated but cheap methods that are proven not to work, the best way to evaluate Limbo is to compare it to other options that actually work:

While injectables have shown good efficacy, there are some issues to consider: Limbo and GLP-1s, compared.
