Noom Diet Reviews

First off, I want to start by commending Noom for helping me lose 10 lbs in 4 weeks! I love that my Fitbit is able to link up with the app and all the psychological info is not only interesting but beneficial. I wish the food and meal database was more extensive. I've used Weight Watchers in the past and that database supersedes anything Noom has by miles. Also, some of the caloric info for restaurants is incorrect. I also wish Noom was available on the PC or Mac. I don't like using my phone all of the time.

I have limited time and was asked to commit 10 minutes - however, between the task, logging foods, getting steps in and adding exercise, sleep, meditation to the routine its more like hours and not minutes. These are things we know we need to do so the Noom app is good for accountability. Pretty much like Weight Watchers.

I have found that the food database is off. Several of the food items I go to log are in the database more than one time and depending on which one you select is what the food category goes under (yellow/green/red). I know that other Noomers in my group have commented on the same thing so it's not a one-off instance.

The additional cost associated with the nutrition and exercise program is a farce and not worth the money spent - however, it is done now and lesson learned.

I have mentioned this to family and friends but with the caveat that it is like a Weight Watchers so compare pricing to the WW online and this before they sign up, if they are even interested.

I found that updating the app to my Fitbit is a bit tedious as I have to log out and log back into getting it to sync.

Noom has helped me go in the correct direction. The help given each day has kept me on track, and the calorie counter has been a lifesaver for me. No longer do I have to stop and look up everything I eat, it's all there keeping track for me. I have found this is a wonderful way with so much help to keep we going losing weight until I reach my goal. Noom is also a great teaching tool to help keep weight off for the rest of my life. Noom is helping remove the struggle.

Noom has really changed so many of my thoughts about food and why I eat. I love dedicating 10 minutes a day to read the lessons in my app. I can also go back and read them again if necessary. It's a fabulous behavior/science-based program that has really struck a chord with me. I love it!

I am very happy with my Noom experience. I find the daily record of my weight convenient and I also do it manually as a backup.

I also find the daily logging of my meals excellent. Although in the past I have done this manually with Noom it does the finding of the calorie counts and this is hugely convenient rather than having to look it up in a calorie counter. This is a major convenience because it makes me really think about what I am putting into my mouth. You can also track small items like 5 olives or green onions and it adds it up for you.

I think the best thing of all are the psychological hints and weight loss explanations. Although aware of leptin and Ghrelin before, the Noom app has it all in one place. It also identifies the relevance of exercise, active eating energy, exercise energy. It also identifies the importance of sleep to emotional state and production of hormones like Ghrelin and leptin.

The group moderator was also active and so are people in the group.

To be noted, I paid $2400 for another weight loss program for which Canada is offering a weight loss grant. I discovered that there was really no local support. I asked for a refund and only got $700 back. I also checked the Better Business Bureau and that program had very bad reviews. Although it may not have been a scam and active in eastern Canada I was not given an appropriate refund nor was there adequate support in western Canada. Noom is international and very good support. The amount paid for Noom was incredibly reasonable under the circumstances and I am most impressed with the Noom program.

I have used Weight Watchers before but Noom is so much better! I just have one suggestion...it would be nice to be able to search for food rather having to do I while under the logging meals tab.

I am so glad I signed up!

Thank you.

I was hesitant to try Noom as I have been trying unsuccessfully for almost 15 years to lose the "baby weight" I put on. But continually feeling bad about my fat rolls and the idea that I want to get healthy as I enter my after 50 years, made me try the app. I was impressed by several items - the slow adjustment period to changing my habits, this is not a place for fad diets or crazy exercise schemes, healthy habits take time to build. I like how everything they suggest is backed by science - real science - not "fake news" science. I like the idea that this is a lifestyle change, not a fad diet - there will be ups and downs, and they use psychology to get you through the highs and lows. Enjoy the two-pronged approach to personalization - a private coach who checks in weekly and a group mentor to provide larger support. Highly impressed and I am at my lowest weight in about 5 years...looking to keep going to my target goal of pre-baby weight.

I am enjoying the support of my personal coach and also a group of ladies just like me who are trying their best to lose weight...just like me. It's so much more than dieting, it's a daily psychology lesson in why we do the things we do, including overindulge. It's also a lot of information about our bodies as well. It's daily motivation to be active, drink water, and love ourselves. I couldn't have asked for anything better.

I tried Noom for the first time a couple of years ago. I signed up for the app a few months after I had my first child. I wanted to lose weight, but I was a new mom, I was exhausted, and honestly, I don't think I was mentally prepared or capable of putting in the energy to truly change my lifestyle.

I remember being annoyed because my goal specialist at the time kept telling me how important it was for me to get a good night's sleep. But I didn't have any control over the amount of sleep I was getting because I had a newborn that needed tending to. Now looking back on that experience, I could have still made huge leaps and bounds with Noom if I would have focused on the areas of my life I DID have control over instead of focusing in on the one area I didn't have control over.

Fast forward two years. I've had my 2nd child 6 months ago, I'm about to turn 30, I'm sick and tired of feeling gross, sluggish, embarrassed about my lifestyle. I'm starting to see how my habits are being passed down to my kids - and I'm ready (like actually read) to make a change.

I get an email from Noom offering me a discount for the New Year and I take the plunge. Not sure if Noom is drastically different this go around, or if I am. But I have been so pleased with my experience and my results and I'm excited to continue on this journey. I can see how my habits and lifestyle are changing, I'm starting to realize how crummy those unhealthy foods were make me feel (physically and mentally), I have loads more energy than I did previously, and I'm taking control of my life. I am SO HAPPY I am doing this now! Can't wait to turn 30 and be the healthiest happiest version of myself.

I decided to give Noom a try in December 2018. I have been an active participant since. My goal coach, Christian, has helped me come up with attainable goals and a plan to get to that goal. My group coach, Janae, is also just as wonderful. She helps keep our group motivated and engaged, so we are there to support each other along the peaks and valleys.

Noom takes on an approach to "dieting" in a way I never thought would work. I thought you had to take pills, powders, lotions, and potions. Not even close. They are spectacular with their daily "assignments" and keep you moving even when you hit that dread plateau. I am truly loving this journey. I am learning how to eat better, smart, smaller - nothing is taboo (it's all about moderation). I have been on the program for almost 6 weeks and I have lost 18lbs. I can't be happier with my results, and with Noom I know this weight loss is for good!

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great app, works well, teach and conditions you to be in a healthier situation, so you aren't just cutting those last couple pound you need but teaches you and conditions you to get to and stay at a healthy weight. Regardless if you want to be lean, athletic or want to build muscle, this app will work for you.

The only critique I could give is better sync with other apps and devices. Doesn't connect well with Samsung health (read Samsung watch) for steps. And would be helpful if it would sync with other meal logging apps. But either of those is more convenience, not required.
