Noom Diet Reviews

I have tried a lot of "programs" in the past, and they would work for at best a few months. I played Racquetball 3 days a week, kept pretty active and still would only lose a couple of pounds only to put them back on later. I was very frustrating to "eat light" and not reap the rewards. And that was the problem for me, I treated the situation like it was a "quid pro quo" (I would do something, therefore, I could do something else as a reward).

Understanding "FOOD CHOICES" and why we make them has been a total game changer for me. I no longer starve myself to reward myself. You know when you write it down, it just doesn't make sense to do that to yourself. The "Noom Nerds," with all the stories and facts and figures, are very helpful. I will admit that some scenarios presented are not applicable to me, but I still read them.

I have a routine (routines are good): Get up in the morning about 6:30 AM (wash my groggy face), and then go weigh myself. Check the Blood Sugar and enter all the information in my daily journal and record the amount of steps from the previous day. I have a step counter from Samsung which recorded 13,000 plus steps one day and the Noom app only recorded 135 steps. I just enter the steps recorded by my Phone's App, and we're good to go. DON'T GET FRUSTRATED with that part of the app, everything else works.

I appreciate getting messages from my Coach and posting comments and reading other people's questions and comments. It's a way to keep yourself accountable. I hold myself accountable to me, and I am in this program for me. I have followed the program for just over 4 weeks and dropped 10 pounds (4.54 kg). The joy of getting out of one weight range and dropping to the next below is elating, to say the least. I was stuck in that weight range for so long it became the new normal (it wasn't, that was only in my mind). To see where my graph show I will be on March 2, 2019, is at a weight I have not seen in many, many years.

I have a selfie of when I started (sorry you don't get to see that yet), and will make one for every week until March 2, 2019. At that time, I will start again with the selfies for another period.

As I said earlier, I played Racquetball 3 days a week, unfortunately, our club closed down. I joined the YMCA, got with an instructor who put together a routine for me, and that has been excellent for me. There are a lot of "weight loss" programs out there. Notice I said "weight loss programs?" Noom is different, as it teaches you to make HEALTHY CHOICES and gives lots of encouragement and information. I made a commitment to me, and these are a few thoughts I have. My journey continues...

Like most - I've done what I thought was right - drinking Diet Coke, using the sweetener of the moment, eating low-fat products, blah blah. Weight Watchers (several times), tried weight loss programs etc. Losing usually, but gaining back.

Noom has really great information presented in "bite sizes" - it's not overwhelming, but daily, reminders, suggestions, check-ins. And, as I've stuck with it, I have actually been able to eliminate soda, sweeteners, etc. I'm eating mostly whole foods. Nourishing my body, no room or desire for processed.

I am really enjoying the Noom app. I love the group support I get, and the daily information is exceptional. My only complaint would be that I had more contact and information from my personal coach. I feel when I ask for advice she turns it back to me and asks what I think I can do. I realize I am an adult, but if I knew what to do, I wouldn't need to be using Noom. The personal coach was one of the reasons that I joined. I feel like she doesn't encourage me or celebrate my wins.

Noom is the weight loss program that I have been waiting for most of my adult life! It not only teaches you how to lose weight but the whys and whens as well.

It incorporates psychology in its program to help you understand why you eat the way you do. It then gives you tools to tackle your eating habits and to overcome the bad habits while building healthy ones.

The only negative thing is after the 4-month program, you no longer have access to all the recipes.

I’ve tried other weight loss programs and did ok for a bit but never understood the how or why of weight loss. As a result, I’d gain the weight back and then some. With Noom, I am learning every day through the scientific and psychological information we are given. I am being empowered through this information to understand the how and why of weight loss. In a few short weeks, I’ve lost almost 8 pounds. I feel confident that this program will enable me to continue to my ideal weight and I’m sure it will be sustainable. Thank you, Noom!

I was initially skeptical about the ads for Noon. But then I decided to give it a try since I was offered a free 7-day trial. After a couple of days, I was hooked and officially joined Noom. I have tried every diet out there, seriously! I had bad habits that I just could not shake. Noom is different. It is actually a way to live. I wake up every morning, excited to check Noom first thing after I weigh myself and grab my coffee. I look so forward to my daily tips and readings. I was a nurse for 35 years and I am learning more about my body's metabolism and my psychological reasons for the foods I used to choose than I ever did in nursing school. And it only takes a few minutes every morning. I have a support group of women who are like me who have tried weight loss programs before just to gain back the weight. The encouragement from my group and my coach is the positive reinforcement I need to stick with a healthy eating and a new lifestyle. Thank you Noom!

I have found it hard to use the group chat. I get a notice when someone comments on a post, but then it can be hard to find it. I kind of wish the group wasn’t so large and felt more connected to each other.

I wish I didn’t have to exit the meal log to use it again. Wish there was a way to go back from the analysis page.

It would be nice to be able to click on glasses of water without logging it in the current way.

I have done so many diet programs. This one is the first to dig deep into the why’s I do what I do...and provides me the tools and techniques to handle them.

The coaching is first rate and the research is verifiable. I am really happy with my results even though I am currently not losing at any spectacular rate. I am losing weight steadily and carefully.

The diet is not exclusionary but teaches balance. I eat pretty much what I want but in better balance. I have increased the number of salads I eat each week, but that is the biggest change beyond portion control and balance. Understanding how foods work together was eye-opening for me. The role of movement, not necessarily exercise, but just more movement in metabolism was newsworthy.

This is a game-changing program.

Noom is great! I’ve been on it for a month now and have lost over 15 pounds. I feel better, and I have had to get my skinny jeans out of the attic. And it hasn’t been hard. The Noom program adapts to my lifestyle, rather than requiring me to adapt to it. I read the Noom lesson first thing every morning, and it helps me throughout the day.

I will admit that I am not seeing the results that I had hoped for with Noom. My weight is just not coming off in the way that I hoped it would, however, I am seeing positive changes in my body and lifestyle that make me want to continue on this journey, because at this time in my life, that’s really what it is about. I’ve tried many get fit plans in the past, but my approach was really "all or nothing." As soon as something broke down in my plan, it was over.

What I really like about Noom is the build in support, the encouragement, and the self-reflection. You are taught how to increase your efforts slowly so you are not overwhelmed and to measure your successes in small, and sustainable ways. You are reminded to be kind to yourself and push your boundaries at the same time. You learn the power of self-reflection and accountability. The daily check in’s really do help keep you on track and you’re given lots of knowledge along the way.

The personal and group support that are in the program are invaluable and make the program much more personalized. Without these components, it would still be a good program, but without the "real live person" component, I don’t think the program would be nearly as effective.

I have been very pleased with my Noom experience, so far. I am seeing results. I am taking in all of the coaching and tips, and really starting to change my psychological relationship with food. I feel like these are sustainable, habit-building practices. Would definitely recommend!
