Noom Diet Reviews

I like the Noom app and the program. I find the accountability with the goal specialist and group is excellent. I love the psychology behind it. It’s keeping me going, which I know I wouldn’t be if I were doing it alone.

I struggle a bit with the red-yellow-green food classifications. It isn’t very intuitive, and I don’t always understand why some foods are listed in each category. I am a big proponent of healthy fats, like nuts, seeds, and oils. But I have had to cut back because these are all red foods. I am struggling with this. However, I have upped my intake of vegetables considerably, and generally have more energy and I feel better, so I am sticking with it.

I previously used Lose It! app, and they have a significantly larger food database. It was frustrating at first with Noom, having to manually key certain foods, knowing the nutrition info isn’t correct. But since I am pretty much off processed foods now, it has not been an issue for me for a while.

After five weeks, the jokey banter/hashtags in the articles is getting a little tiresome, but I am appreciating the more in-depth scientific information.

I tried to download the app on multiple IOS devices, and that was a disaster. They didn’t sync with each other, despite being logged into the same account. I ended up deleting the duplicate and only use one device now.

My only frustration with the app is the significant lag time in syncing with Fitbit. More than once it didn’t update before the end of the day, and it appeared as if I didn’t make my step goal. The first time I was on such a roll with walking, and it was really upsetting not to get the credit! On this particular day, it never updated after 5 pm. Despite several refreshing and syncing on my Fitbit app. So it’s not user error.

I started Noom six weeks ago. I have been impressed with the daily readings and find them informative and funny. They are able to give scientific information in an interesting format that keeps my interest. The "coaches" are both individual and group and provide good feedback and support. Reading issues from the group members keeps everybody aware of how other people have the needs as they struggle to be healthier. I am losing body weight, toning and most importantly, learning life long lessons to stay healthy. I highly recommend this program.

Not the typical quick fix, rather a motivational method of learning and working at your own pace. Likely to give yo-yo dieters to newbies a method to be successful based on their own terms!

Would recommend to anyone feeling like there had to be a method to the madness and if you enjoy learning with some comic relief this is it.

I started with the app just about 4 weeks ago. So far I have lost a little over 6 lbs. It's sensibly written and keeps you working. I like using the app and for the first time I'm actually counting calories, something I never thought I could do.

I have tried every way to lose weight in my life, to include my teen years. I have always been overweight. Noom is different because it helps with the psych part of weight loss. Noom incorporates the physical, emotional and mental part of becoming healthier. Whether I reach my goal weight or not, I have been given the tools to become as healthy as possible. I will be honest, I still struggle, and have only lost about 7lbs, but I am more aware of my triggers to overeat. Thank you Noom. I will continue my journey with you.

I am so glad I came across Noom while scrolling on Pinterest. I was hesitant at first and probably took the quiz at least 3 times before actually signing up. It was the best decision I have made in a long time. I am losing weight and feeling great! I look forward to reading the tasks daily...it keeps me on track. I would recommend this program to all my family and friends.

I never write reviews. I haven’t got the time. However, I am so impressed with Noom and what it is helping me do that I thought it was worth the time. It is cognitive behaviorally based fun. It is engaging and motivating. I may be a nerd, but I believe!

I am a classic yo-yo dieter - I have lost 50-70 pounds at least 8 times on every diet known to man, and each time I have gained it all back. I know that I can follow any plan successfully - but something needed to change to make the loss sustainable and long term. Along came Noom. I’m in week four right now, I’ve lost 13 lbs, but that’s not the important part - the important part is the program's emphasis on habit and behavior change, the psych tricks and the groups. I really feel like it is helping me to change my relationship with food. The only thing I would change is the coaching - it is nice to have the feedback but I feel like it is very impersonal. It would be nice to have more frequent check-ins that weren’t so obviously going by a script.

So I chose Noom because it was reasonably priced and I did not have to drive anywhere to use it.

Honestly, when I started out, I thought I’ll get a little out of this, but maybe it will help me to stay on the health path. Well it sure has. Reading all the information and logging my meals kept me in contact. I fell at least one hundred times a day but I kept coming back for more. My weight was not impressively moving down but I expected that. Noom's job is to help me continue with healthy choices and not make anything off limits. I took advantage of that and started going to Dunkin’ Donuts more often than I had. I learned that my slimming body was just evilly battling with me. But once I learned, I started finding ways to plan for that devious brain of mine.

I know I am not over the hump and sometimes I don’t want to read the next lesson, but somehow you seem to introduce the right subject at the right time. It’s like you're reading my mind. I just had a great breakthrough as to why I had so much difficulty. Once you helped me figure out why, I have a plan in place. I had to confront my demons. It’s like a weight off my shoulders. Now I can move on.

Thank you Noom for helping me make a breakthrough I didn’t even know I needed. I know there are more adventures ahead and I think I got that in the form of a message I was not expecting. Now I feel brave enough to accept that challenge.

I find too many acronyms are forgetful and confusing.

It refers to people living in NYC working in offices. I'm a retired RN, 20 minute lunch period after I finally get to sit down.

As a retiree my activities are different. Insurances offer silver sneakers to go work out in gyms and they pay for it.

You only deal with a specific demographic population.

I will not renew when I'm finished. Research, research and I believe your coaches are not trained well. They are just a supportive, psychosocial dialog.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This app is really easy to use and the info they give has been great! Five weeks have gone by and I hardly noticed the time going by....down 15 pounds! Not much else to say! No gimmicks and kinda fun...
