I started Noom at the end of 2018. I realized that my weight loss issues were not only food related, but psychological. I found that I was upset when I would see or hear about other people eating food that I knew I couldn't have. I absolutely hated the idea that I was going to have to live my life being deprived of things that I like.
I'm now in my sixth week of Noom and no longer have those damaging thoughts. I'm learning how to work around the emotional part of eating. I can now handle the social pressures when I'm out eating with other people. Those kind ones who keep saying, "oh, go ahead, you can have one bite, it won't kill you." (I said no to calamari last night, first time ever.)
In the last five weeks, my energy level has gone up, I'm sleeping better, I'm losing inches all over, and my sugar cravings ARE GONE! I was with a family member last night that hasn't seen me in three weeks, he asked how much weight I've lost. I've lost 8 pounds and he was able to see my weight loss.
I almost gave the program 4 stars is because of the platform itself. It is not very user-friendly (compared to other platforms I've been on), and you can't use it on your PC. There are a lot of tweaks that are needed for the platform, but I have no other complaints.
I highly recommend this program to anyone who is having an issue with "diets" and wants to learn how to eat properly. The tasks each day help to build habits that you don't even realize you are adapting. The coaches and specialists are there to help whenever you need it. And your support group each understand what you are going through, so they really do help.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
