Noom Diet Reviews

I love the group chat, personal support, articles, constant flow of scientific information (I like data to support what I do and the why’s). The accountability from my own personal support team member is particularly awesome! The color-coded food grouping is great. I am FODMAP sensitive, so I would like to see additions moving forward to include these items/suggestions...

For the first couple of weeks, my app was not pulling information from my Fitbit, and other "glitchy" things were happening as well. However, that was resolved finally and I am settling in and enjoying the benefits of having daily "lessons," coaching help, access to like-minded group members, and other helpful aspects of the plan. Overall, I think Noom is on the right track and has the potential to be a very powerful tool for a lot of people.

I simply love Noom. I used WW 9 years ago to drop 50 pounds. Since then they have changed the program, and for me, it wasn't working to drop a few pounds that I had gained. My daughter told me about Noom. I decided to give it a try at New Years 2019. Since then I have lost over 7 pounds. I like the fact that after a few weeks you are hooked up with an accountability group to share success and bounce struggles, etc. off of. The daily information and tasks help you to learn new habits for a lifetime of healthy eating.

One thing that I don't like is some of the food calories are wrong. I was traveling with my mom a few weeks ago and we stopped at Hardee's for breakfast. I looked at the app and it said a country ham biscuit only had 300 calories, but the calories listed on the menu board said 500. Nothing major, but I suggest checking the calories on restaurant food yourself and not simply believing the app. One time the app said something had way more calories than Five Guys menu board.

I am having so much fun with Noom. The app is so easy. The information is poignant, educational, and fun.

It teaches you from the very start the best approach to lose weight and most importantly how to keep it off.

I am losing weight and have the tools to keep it off and maintain a healthy lifestyle without starving myself or having the foods I enjoy.

Noom is totally working for me!

If you are sick of trendy, unsustainable (and often unhealthy) weight loss programs and want to make some lifetime changes, give Noom a try. You aren't going to get a list of food you are allowed or not allowed to eat, a ridiculous exercise routine, or a bunch of BS about how quick and easy it will be. You will get a great deal of information about how to motivate yourself to move toward a healthier relationship with food, activity and your own perceptions of yourself. It is weight loss psychology and physiology based on science.

You will have a coach assigned to you and interact daily with some easy swipe-and-click articles that both ask you questions, and give you information. The coach chimes in via chat to ask or answer questions you have and help you keep on track. They aren't available 24/7, but I have been generally satisfied with the response time. It is a real person, not a computer generated response robot. You are eventually added to a group where there is a chat moderator who brings up pertinent topics for discussion and allows for interaction with others at the same stage that you are. You can interact with them as much or as little as you want.

The relevance of the daily articles is uncanny. It pretty accurately predicts what stages of weight loss you are at and gives you both information on what is happening and practical ideas on how to deal with it. Example: I recently have been experiencing a plateau in spite of staying on task with food/activity levels, and yesterday's "lessons" had to do with plateaus, how you're probably not doing anything wrong to cause them, and how to endure them until you start seeing results on the scale again. Also, how the scale isn't the only measure of success!

I am moving into week 5 of the program and have already lost 10 of the 20 pounds I've targeted. Even better is that my daily routines and habits are healthier for me and, I'm gonna say it, not as hard as I thought it would be. I feel like I have control based on solid, scientific information instead of letting someone else tell me what to do and when to do it, or just letting myself go.

There is a food logging component to the program that can be time-consuming, but is extremely informative! Be honest with it, you are the only one that will see it unless you want to share. It is not as good as the MFP app for logging ease and intuitive use, and this is the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. The app does interact with other fitness apps and can grab info from your Fitbit/Garmin/etc.

I highly recommend this app if you are serious about making permanent changes to be healthier in body and mind!

I’ve always struggled with my weight. I’m an all or nothing dieter. I would make it so strict that I couldn’t stick with it. Then I would fall off the wagon and eat whatever I wanted until the next round of dieting started. Even though I knew what I should do to lose weight, I just couldn’t seem to be consistent. Noom has helped me rethink food and weight loss. There is such a sense of accountability and support. I strongly recommend this for anyone who has yo-yo dieted. I’m going to miss it after my 4-month graduation. Who has ever said that on a diet before?

I have been using Noom for a month now and have found it to be very helpful so far. While I had been using other apps to track activity and food, I was still having difficulty keeping off the weight I lost. The big difference with Noom is the educational aspect of using science as it relates to thought patterns, habits, metabolism, sociology, and psychology. Learning about these things has increased my awareness and given me ways to address problem areas. The goal coach contacts and group chat have been helpful with questions and goal setting too.

That being said, I have seen a lot of negative reviews/comments on social media from people who feel Noom is not forthcoming enough about the program, that the cost can vary greatly, and difficulty canceling if they decided not to sign up after the trial.

I wouldn’t have signed up for the trial with the initial monthly price I saw, but then I received a promotion for a large discount so I decided to try it. I am glad that I did, but I think more people might be willing to try if there were more transparency in the advertising.

I’ve just started my 5th week of utilizing the app Noom. While I’m not killing it in terms of the scale numbers - the learning, the information and my mental change in my outlook on health and weight loss is amazing. My relationship with food is rapidly changing. Food is not my enemy, and I’m learning to enjoy it. I’ve never stuck with a "program" before. This time is different. I’m developing a new mindset, and that’s what makes me recommend Noom so highly.

I feel part of something greater in the privacy of my home with people and a counselor I do not know to keep me motivated, honest, and true to myself.

I'm included in my group's feelings, failures, successes, and results. For some reason, I feel part of a group just like me but without the face to face meetings that may or may not make you honest with your feelings. Week six coming up, staying the course, not with any big success of weight loss, but I'll see where it takes me, and one thing I know, I'm staying honest to myself.

I am losing weight and also waist size just like I had hoped (and tried/failed in the past.) Noom is not extreme. They don't fuss or cajole you. They understand plateaus and help you through them. The color divisions help me a lot. Also, it's easy to record what you ate, and their system gives you the calorie count automatically. Noom does a lot of things very well, but I guess it's their use of psychology that is what they do best. I recommend Noom.

I have essentially yo-yo dieted my whole life and certainly was influenced by my mom always struggling with her weight and constant diet. I guess I never knew and dug deep until Noom. Now I know how much that influenced my struggles, and have learned ways to accept and move on so I can confidently get to where I feel like I look good. And it isn't now all about a number, but a feeling and each step I take with Noom, that helps me and gets me to this lifestyle is a success.
