I love food. I have an unnatural obsession with food. I can remember almost every meal I have ever had and where I was when I ate it. So...the doctor says my numbers are great, but I am 2 inches too short for my weight according to the BMI chart.
Noom is my guru. The pitfalls, the setbacks, the possibilities of what could be affecting your weight loss (or lack thereof) are addressed and analyzed in a surprisingly entertaining way in less than 10 minutes a day! It’s a mindset change instead of a temporary diet.
It has a refreshing way of making you accept everything you used to label a "mistake" - weight loss killers you used to and still make and turn it into a learning moment or even acceptable or "hey you HAVE to do this!"
I have been off and on every program you can think of for the past 18 years and this is the one that makes the most sense to me. The science behind the physiological and psychological obstacles make it easier to make daily adjustments to the decisions that could affect reaching your goals - whether it is weight loss or just achieving a healthier lifestyle.
For example, I took Noom's advice, I don’t think I ever have before in my many many many diets. It was based on the article of hormone explanations and plateaus. Coincidentally (or not), I was in a plateau-(alright alright) a hill. So instead of derailing and giving up as my typical MO, I looked at what I was doing, stayed true to the process (rode the wave) despite the scale readings, and added more calories while staying in the good range (schooled by the hormone article thing). Check it - the scale has been going down again for the past week!
Here’s a few extra bonuses besides the weight loss: extra energy, better sleep, and strangely enough, less stressed. Best bonus in my family’s opinion who used to hide from during my quests to lose weight - I am "happy even on a diet," lol.
All in all, I have a long way to go, but I am actually enjoying to ride!
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
