Noom Diet Reviews

I started Noom before the holidays in hopes that I could get a jump start on the new me. I love the accountability piece and waking up to my own personal weight loss app each morning. I lost my first ten pounds and have mostly held through the holidays. Now that we’re into the new year, I feel like I have enough tools under my belt to ramp it up. Keeping track of food is easy and I rarely come across an item that isn’t in their database. The science and psychology behind weight loss is so informative and I love that Noom gives you bits and pieces along the way, so it’s not overwhelming. Noom is exactly what I needed!

I have been using Noom for six weeks and have enjoyed many aspects of it. I like the food logging system a lot and really enjoy the articles each day. I have learned a lot and appreciate that it isn't daunting. A little information each day keeps me motivated and engaged. I would even say that engaging with the app each day is fun. I haven't used the recipes at all yet, so no review there.

As far as the coaching goes, I have mixed thoughts. My main Goal Specialist is fine. I don't feel like there is much of a connection there and often don't hear from her for days at a time. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the interactions seem really canned and impersonal. For my group, I like my group coach and appreciate the opportunity to engage in the community through the app. Many people don't post in the group forum, but some dedicated users do, and there are some good encouragement and sharing of ideas that goes on. Some days I like the group and others I feel overwhelmed by so many threads and responses. But it is a great feature for those who are looking for support and accountability.

My app is linked to my Fitbit and I notice quite the lag time in syncing my daily steps. This is annoying to me as my steps should increase my allotted calories for the day...so when it doesn't sync, I don't know what I should be getting. In the Android app, I could go in and manually change my step count for the day. But then I got an iPhone and this feature doesn't seem to be available and is quite frustrating.

Overall I am happy with Noom and am glad that I have gone beyond the two-week free trial period. I have lost about 9 pounds in six weeks. My clothes fit better. I have more energy. I am very excited because I feel like the lifestyle I am living is sustainable. I feel like what I am learning really is a way of life and not a "quick fix" diet fad.

Noom is a different approach to attaining a healthy lifestyle. The app is great and the coaches keep you motivated. Simple to use, it is chock-full of great advice and features. Well worth the price of admission if you are serious about turning your life around.

Noom is a very different approach to weight loss and general health.

I realized a while ago that my issues around health and wellness were more psychological than anything else. Sure I know "eat less, move more" works, but putting those simple ideas into practice is, in reality, incredibly difficult.

Noom has helped me think through, analyze, and find solutions to all the things "in my head" that prevent me from losing weight and keeping it off. And it is only a few minutes each day, only introducing enough new material to be interesting without being overwhelming. My coach is also great at keeping me on track and focused.

I love the team at Noom! The team is open with communication, supportive, and extremely understanding. Everyone works together to find a positive solution. Noom is all about the people, including the people that work there and work-life balance. I am so grateful to be here!

I started Noom at the end of November. I love it! Mind you it's the holidays, so I overindulged every now and then, but to date have lost over 8 lbs and going strong. The required reading every day is so easy to understand and I look forward to each day's activities. I am one who needs to know "why" I should or should not do something, and Noom explains it with supporting details. Noom really keeps you accountable which I like. You are assigned groups as well, a personal coach that checks in weekly and a group coach that you can comment, ask questions, etc. daily. My only negative comment is there is no option to print the readings. You have to screenshot the pages if you want to print them. I started keeping a notebook with handwritten notes but having the option to print articles would make Noom perfect.

Noom is easy to use. Keeps me accountable for my meals and helps keep me on track for weight loss. The coach, my group and the daily "lessons" are all great! I've signed up my husband and have told several friends about it.

The whole approach used by Noom is refreshingly different whilst being based on science. It takes you through your potential lifestyle issues whilst always providing tips and tricks to beat them. The emphasis on not beating yourself up over and slips and the fact that the system incorporates, and indeed plans for, those inevitable bad days makes it feel so much easier to take on.

The support from both the personal coach and the group you are assigned to at the end of your first week really provide that inherent support structure.

One of my favorite aspects is that all goals and rewards are chosen by the Noomer, not the course or the coach. In my case, I have attempted weight lose multiple times and never managed to make it work. Additional health problems only made it harder to imagine I'd ever manage to achieve my goal. The thing that attracted me to Noom was the individual approach it provided without assuming anything about where I was or what I needed. When I hit barriers, the coach is always there with some helpful encouragement and tips.

Basically, I'd recommend this to people who want to lose weight but who can't deal with limited food options or large requirements on your time. Or anyone who needs that personal touch. Yes, it costs more than the average weight loss plan, but I think the extra help and the degree to which the program, in how it teaches to you approach your life in a healthier holistic way, is thoroughly thought out makes it worth it.

Noom is not a diet; this is a healthy way of living. It is all designed to change my way of life and my eating FOREVER.

My Thanksgiving weight gain made me start Noom. Oh, happy day! I have loved it. Logging food is really easy. I can enter my own recipes and see how many calories per serving. It has been fun to see how many of our family favorites can be modified to be healthy and green. All the encouragement and great suggestions from the Noom Nerds and other participants have kept me going. It really helps to see what challenges other people are having. We all encourage each other, and give helpful suggestions for overcoming challenges.

In five weeks I have lost 13 lbs. Those pounds count two times in my view as this was all during December during all the Holiday festivities. With Noom I was able to eat some of my favorites, but also steer clear of the high-calorie junk I don't need or want. I didn't spend the holiday eating only celery, I ate real healthy food. My weight has fluctuated, but steadily decreased. I was so happy to see that I could slip a little on one special day and get back at it the next day and keep on with the weight loss.

The best part has really been how great I feel. I didn't realize how much junk I was eating. Small changes have made a huge difference in how I feel. I was pretty sluggish and tired before, and my energy has increased greatly. When I slip or treat myself, I notice a big difference. I never knew how much my diet was dragging me down before.

I love, love, love Noom. So glad I tried it. I have some big goals like going on a backpacking trip with my 15-year-old son this summer, and taking a dance cruise next fall. With Noom I know I can make it happen.

I’m not a good dieter. With Noom, I am able to track every bit of food that I eat. There’s an extensive list of foods with serving size and calorie amounts. If you can’t find a personal favorite food, you can do a one-time entry of information found on most foods. It’s there for you to use! I’ve been using Noom for a month. I’ve lost almost 15 lbs already! My swollen feet have disappeared too. My aim is to get to the weight I was 25 years ago. Noom is helping me with that.

I started Noom six weeks ago and it has helped me better understand my thoughts on food, food choices, and triggers to food cravings. Weighing in daily and logging my meals keeps me accountable to my calorie budget. The coaches and the group keep me motivated and on track. Basically, Noom provides me with the tools and resources to make lifestyle changes that lead to permanent weight loss. Follow Noom recommendations and you will lose weight and sustain results as the tools are not a quick gimmick for weight loss but tools for permanent lifestyle changes resulting in weight loss.
