Noom Diet Reviews

I was looking for a weight loss program where I would have a coach to hold me accountable. I thought if I'd just have someone to motivate me I would be successful in losing some pounds. My wife went to TOPS, which helped her. But most of the attendees were women. I happened to be in a waiting room at our local GMC dealer when this TV commercial for Noom appeared. I downloaded the app and was delighted with their program. Loads of motivating information EVERY DAY! I am on now for a month and plan to be part of the program for a long time.

It’s not like there’s a magic bullet out there for weight loss. And, Noom doesn’t promote itself as a magic bullet. What I am finding, as I use Noom, is that I am learning about how to recognize my thought distortions, habits, and increasing my awareness to consciously make food choices. Food choices that may include a dessert or cocktail.

I’ve tired of the yo-yo dieting I’ve done in the past. So, I quit. I held my weight for a long time, then life went "whack-a-mole" on me, and I began drinking fewer smoothies for lunch and drinking more wine in the evenings. Then I noticed my weight creeping up. I wanted, needed, a plan that I could fit into my life and schedule. In came Noom.

I like the daily lessons, the daily weigh-in, the check-in’s with my coach, and the group support...all from my phone. Each of these things keeps my awareness at top of mind. Am I hungry? Or, fog eating? Am I moving enough? Or sitting all day? Noom helps remind me of things I know. Apparently I needed to spend money to make myself utilize what I know and commit to a healthy plan.

I’ve lost 9 pounds since I started at the end of December. I also had company and continued eating out and drinking wine while my friend visited the first week of January. I am at choice, to eat whatever I want. What I love is seeing how food impacts me day to day. Noticing and being reminded of what energizes me, or makes me feel lethargic. Since really, starting, I’m sleeping better, have more focus, and am more energetic.

Basically, this isn’t an instant, drop 30 in 30 days approach. And, frankly, that doesn’t work anyway. This is a longer commitment. A commitment to yourself, to become conscious in your choices. To love yourself enough to stop the all or nothing habits. To find and develop your food, exercise, and mind awareness.

Noom is reminding me of the balance I want, not only in my life, but in my diet. Forging a path to a new way of being in a relationship with food.

I was skeptical at first that this was just another way for the diet industry to make money, but one week in, I WAS COMMITTED. If you and your body and mind are ready to commit and learn and do what is recommended, you will absolutely succeed with this program, in way more ways than weight loss. Only six weeks in, I am full of self-confidence and an "I can do this" attitude. I feel that the changes I am making and the habits I am forming are lifelong changes. It is easier every single day to make healthy, smart choices for myself and my family. If I, as a woman over 50 who has spent the last 20 years battling depression, anxiety, and crippling loss, anyone else can do this. You just have to have faith in yourself that you can, commit, and you will.

There is excellent guidance, support and just plain common sense information in this program. They are there to encourage and advise every step of the way without judgment, but with sound helpful ideas and information. I love this program and am so happy for the changes it has already made in my life, and I now look forward to better health for the rest of my life. Thank you Noom Nerds.

Poor. Waste of money. Deceitful sales tactics. No benefit to the service. Advertised on television but again no benefit to the service and required two months non-refundable payment. If not satisfied, after four weeks cannot get a refund.

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

I have struggled with weight issues all my life. I have tried many diets. I lose a few pounds and then gain it back. Unfortunately, the pounds always brought along a few friends. Noom is different. I am not starving myself. I am enjoying meals. The encouragement from my coach and my group is just what I need, I am accountable but not intimidated. This is the first program I have seen that recognizes that you are human and not perfect all the time. You owe it to yourself to try this.

My doctor was lecturing me to lose weight because my blood pressure and A1C were high. "It’s diet and exercise," but doctors don’t tell you what "diet and exercise" looks like in practical terms. The doctor gave me diet pills. They didn’t work. I killed myself working with a trainer 5 days a week for over a year, didn’t reach my goal. Trainers don’t know nutrition. I tried counting calories with some success but I didn’t reach my goal, and I regained the weight.

Noom is different. It’s giving me practical tools that I can actually use in real life and stick to. It not only addresses the "how to eat" that others couldn’t tell me but the "why I eat." It deals with my relationship with food. I’m losing weight, eating things I like and I’m not hungry or depriving myself. I now have tools to deal with business lunches and social events. I still have dessert occasionally, and I still lose weight. Noom filled in the missing information that I needed. If I had access to this information earlier, I wouldn’t be obese now.

Just 4 weeks in I’m down ten pounds, and I’ve lost 2.5 inches around my waist. I’m going to buy a new belt today because my pants keep slipping down.

One thing I’ve noticed is that a majority of the narratives use female pronouns, I’m a male. It’s not a big point (I’m not sensitive), but it does seem slanted one way. You might consider being a bit more neutral.

I think that Noom is a fantastic new way to get healthy for a lifetime - I’ve absolutely loved all the information, the tips, and tricks and the accountability. So far it has helped me understand food so much better, be accountable, mindful, avoid what I put in my mouth, and understand portion control.

The Noom diet app is designed as an assistant to healthy weight loss. It has daily help lessons and tips to help you lose weight. You are assigned a diet counselor, which in my opinion does not keep in contact with you enough initially. There were many times I needed guidance and assistance but only got answers once a week. After a few weeks, you are assigned to a group. Group members offer support to each other but can’t really help you with specific problems. Overall, it is a good program in that it requires you to fulfill daily check-ins to keep you on track.

Noom has really helped me. They've empowered me to make good decisions and set and reach my goals without feeling deprived of anything. I feel really supported by the coaches. The daily readings keep me on track and teach me a lot about myself! I would recommend this to anyone who wants to be a healthier version of themselves. Noom is worth the money. I lost 10 pounds in the first month, and I feel amazing. I couldn't have done it without them.

I have found Noom to be very educational. Not only do they have a great food logging system, but their short, daily articles have really helped me. I'm not young, and honestly, I'm not going to work out at the gym; they are able to help me anyway. I have a coach that checks in with me once a week who understands and supports my efforts. There is also a group you are encouraged to participate in, if you are so inclined.

I joined Noom after trying to lose weight by tracking calories with other online systems. I would lose a little weight, plateau, and then quit, gaining back all the weight. The problem with doing it on your own is that you are alone with no education as to food and your habits, no encouragement, and it gets discouraging and daunting. Noom has a reasonable way of looking at everything. I'm not made to feel guilty if I slip and they are there to help me past the plateaus. It is worth the money if your goal is to educate yourself, change your habits, lose weight, and then keep it off. I can say that what I've learned will be a part of my life from here on out.

I've been using the Noom app for 5 weeks. I like the articles and daily tips for staying on track with my weight loss. Plus the cost is good for what you get. This program is not a quick weight loss program, but definitely retrains your mind and body to eat healthy while enjoying food. If you stick with the daily actives you will see the weight come off.

I haven't been too impressed with the coaching part of the program. You are assigned a coach, but you will connect with that person weekly by text, which hasn't been too helpful for me. If you are struggling daily and having a hard time staying on track, it will be several days before you hear back from your coach. There is no daily support, which is what I was expecting. You are also assigned to a support group for daily support, but it is more of a chat room where you can go and post your successes and failures, but again not too much support.

If you are looking for a program with a daily check-in, weigh-ins, menus, etc., then you should give Noom a try, it is worth it. If you need strong support and coaching, then you may want to consider another program.
