Noom Diet Reviews

This is what a diet plan should be. No gimmicks. No special foods. It teaches how to be a better eater and lead a healthier lifestyle. There is individual work involved, but there are explanations for what to do and coaches to help along the way. It's convenient, all online, and inexpensive for the amount of help available. I recommend Noom for people who are serious about getting healthy.

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

Started on my health and weight loss last summer. I have struggled for almost 30 years with yo-yo dieting, lose some and gain more. In January I saw an advertisement on Facebook. I had lost but had hit a plateau and was not happy with the way I was going. I needed help.

I checked into the Noom and it sounded like something I could do. I decided to try this for me. One month later I have lost a few pounds, but most importantly I am gaining strength, changing my relationship with food, and becoming more active.

I have a few serious health problems, and Noom adapts and personalized for my program.

I get up every morning and look forward to making sure and completing my step. The first thing I do is weigh and take 10 minutes to read and complete the assignments.

The recipes are amazing and not complicated. I cook for me now. I am using more herbs and spices. I am learning to not reward with food. I grab a fresh orange or apple for snack. And add lots for fresh vegetables to all my dishes.

I am enjoying life and doing things I haven't done in a long time. The weight loss is great, but most importantly is that I am feeling more energized and healthier.

I feel like this will be a permanent lifestyle. Something I can do always.

I'm enjoying Noom. I'm making small changes every day that contribute to steady and sustainable weight loss. No deprivation. No guilt. Reasonable. Rational. I love the inclusion of the psychology behind weight loss and relatable examples. Fits well into my busy life.

My struggle with the program is there are no absolutes. They just keep throwing ideas at you without strict guidelines. Everything is worded in such a way as to never create a feeling of guilt. As someone who is very good at justifying anything and everything; this is not what I need. I think I need a strict diet and a personal trainer cracking a whip.

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

The daily information and check in is really helpful. The psychology is informative and encouraging. I believe this program will work for anyone if you stick with it for the long term. I am not a fan of the group. It seems a bit much for me. With that said, it depends on the person. The food database does not have many of the foods that I eat, and it is not that easy to manually enter the items. For that reason, I use MyFitnessPal which has a much more extensive food database, but this does not show the green, yellow and red foods. I do like the fact that I can do the program and skip the group portion but still get the full benefit, and the coach is very helpful. I also like the fact that this program focuses on long term lifestyle changes and not just quick weight loss. That and the coach is the best part of the program. I would recommend this to a friend since I do believe this program will work and is worth the effort overall.

Pros:

Makes me rethink things.

Great tips.

Good advise and articles.

Group chat is great.

Group Coach is great.

Love the app and logging, etc.

Recipes are great too.

Cons:

Can't print articles or recipes.

Can't email articles or recipes.

No way to go to a website and reread/print info.

Would like to have the food lists as a "pull-down" menu when logging - so you could go to the logging page and pull down the green foods list, would help with decisions.

Goal Specialist - not as good as group coach. Feel like I have to come up with something as a goal and keep adding to it...

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

I truly believe that eating three well-balanced meals a day has lead to successful beginning weight loss. Adherence to tracking these meals is the key.

Other helpful information has been important as well.

I have been using Noom for nearly 6 weeks and I have successfully enjoyed every minute of it! The wonderful combination of calorie logging, education, exercise logging, and support from both a private goal specialist and a group support leader is fantastic. What I love the most has been the sense of humor brought to light in the daily informational teachings! I feel like there is a reality to how hard weight loss can be that is managed in the best of ways, and I'm laughing through it all. I look forward to each day's psychological lessons and the fully supported tasks. Thank you! I've lost 11 lbs so far and I know I can reach my goals in the future and change my lifestyle to that of a healthy one permanently!

This has been a great way to start making smart food choices. I love that they have a little bit of information each day to help you navigate weight loss and overall mindful eating. There is a built-in gauge to help you navigate your eating throughout the day and where it falls in your overall diet. It also has some great recipes that help you eat better and change your ideas about food. You can eat what you like, but better choices make you feel better. It also has some exercise suggestions that help incorporate good exercise. The coach/group part is helpful also. Makes you accountable but also lots of support.

Overall I have to say this app is a great way to change how you look at food, encourage you to make good choices but is not blind to pitfalls and slips.

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

The only thing of getting from Noom is texts. I am not a texter. I like either emails or phone calls. I believe for the money you paid they can at least call and talk to you. I wish they will change this.

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

This program does what so many others have promised and never delivered. Noom has let me change my lifestyle in a comfortable natural individualized way that brought down my weight and increased my strength and activity level. Being diabetic, it’s not too dramatic to say Noom has added quality and quantity to my life. It leaves room for screwing up and eating brownies. It provides accountability and support without humiliation or embarrassment. It doesn’t take much time either because it’s an app on your ever-present phone. It’s way more affordable than a gym, even if you add an inexpensive version of a Fitbit, which really enhances the Noom activity-boosting element. You can use Noom to lose some pounds over 4 months or like me you can stay on Noom indefinitely like a cheap personal trainer. Either way, I really appreciate it and the Noom staff (online group support and personal goal specialist) who feels like a real live friend after 16 months on Noom and 16 pounds off and staying off. Highly recommend.
