Love it

By Marilyn C., New York, Verified Reviewer

It was with great trepidation that I signed up for yet another diet plan. They always work well for me, until they end, and I'm "on my own." Then I go back to the old habits! Although I'm not to that point with this plan, I have very high hopes that the things that I am learning will stick and I will form the habits necessary to maintain good health. Lessons are provided daily which explain the physical, emotional, psychological, scientific and social aspects of why we do what we do (and it's not all about food), which really has given me pause for thought. Many things that I thought were true are not, and the scientific data is provided. All is presented in a humorous manner, that may seem simplistic to some, but it truly is not. There also is interaction immediately with a coach, who helps you as far as goal setting and working on different parts of what you wish to do. After 14 days, you are also placed into a peer group where you can interact (or not) with others on the journey. I am currently in the 6th week of the 4-month program. I have been very conscientious about doing what I am supposed to do each day, including the journaling of my foods. So far, I really like both the approach that is being taken, and my progress. The coaches are supportive and work with whatever individual issues a person may encounter.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Noom

By Janelle P., South Dakota, Verified Reviewer

Noom has been easy for me to use. It asked for a commitment of 10 minutes per day and really doesn't take much longer than that. Each day has a number of lessons to read and those help to make a game out of information that's not only scientific but very informative. There's a lot of psychology behind what's being taught, which also helps to make things very understandable. I feel like this is more of a lifestyle change than a diet and really staying away from the foods that I shouldn't be eating and trying to focus on the foods that I should has not been difficult. At least not too difficult.

Finally believe I can lose weight and keep it off!

By Beth M., Jacksonville, FL, Verified Reviewer

I've been significantly overweight since my last child was born 18 years ago. My life includes high ongoing stress of caring for a loved one with significant needs. As an emotional eater, it has made long term changes challenging. So many programs are short term, fad based, or Multi-Level Marketing based. Not Noom! It is exactly what I needed. Daily learning that is not overwhelming, and great support and encouragement in an easy to use power packed app. Best of all? It is psychology and researched based. No fad, MLM, or short term dieting! I LOVE IT! I am finally confident I can get to my target weight and maintain it now. I started right after Thanksgiving. Who makes life-lasting changes and loses weight between Christmas and New Years? Noom users!

Coaching and psychology

By Dana R., Pennsylvania, Verified Reviewer

I need to be kept accountable. If I am left to my own devices when it comes to eating healthy, weight loss etc., I trip over that metaphorical speed bump every single time. What I like the most about Noom is that it teaches you how to move past the speed bump with its psychology based learning, plus it gives you a coach who you talk with weekly, and you work on weekly accomplishments. Combined, this helps with the constant nagging that I failed yet again, and it keeps me accountable because the last thing I want to do is let my coach down. Which I know they would just give me a pep talk and get me back up, but it's exactly what I need. I like the food logging, but I would like to see that the database is more robust with known foods and also has the ability to barcode items.

Overall, if you are someone who needs something a little more robust than just food logging and wants the accountability structure, then I would definitely suggest Noom.

This thing works!

By Emm W., Santa Barbara, CA, Verified Reviewer

I am a lifetime member of (well you know) and the diet yo-yo game that so many can relate to. Without naming names, there are only two diet plans I have refused to try, and while I’ve been successful EVENTUALLY with all numbers of those I have done; it was always a pretty miserable, and ultimately, failing long term solution.

I don’t know exactly why Noom is working so much better for me. I’ve done behavioral, nutritional, coaching and personal trainers in the past...but it is, and I’m SO grateful. I have had many challenges in my life and my weight has always been a struggle for me, which my DNA test revealed why. That part alone was worth it!

I’m still not to my goal, but well on my way, with much bigger losses than I’ve ever experienced in the past.

I won’t lie and say I didn’t have a set back so far, but even my reaction to that has changed, which allowed me to keep going and see even more dramatic lifestyle and weight loss drops thereafter.

It’s like having your own personal weight loss program, which oddly becomes your brain.

Don’t waste time or money on a Fitbit, recipe subscriptions or another failed and miserable journey weight loss program. Noom ties all the positive pieces and loses the negative parts into a bow all under one app (backed by evidence-based research) and then tops it with daily bite-sized assignments that keep your motivation juices flowing and making it fun!

It’s the closest thing you’ll get to the smartest, most encouraging personalized weight loss life coach!

Go Noom!

A different, fun, and effective approach

By Lauren F., Duluth, MN, Verified Reviewer

Noom is different from any other diet/plan I've tried. They work really hard to educate you and delve deep into your cravings and why you have them or why you're eating at a certain time or when you feel a certain way. Their SOS plan works to help make sure you stay on track. You have both a personal coach and then a group and group coach to help you stay on track and support you. Being a part of the group really makes you want to do well, and the support from them is amazing. Noom doesn't pressure you to stop eating the food you love. Instead, it teaches you how to eat it in moderation and be responsible for it. It's definitely a program I would recommend to a friend.

Yeah! I'm a Noomer!

By Denise O., West Creek, NJ, Verified Reviewer

Hi, I was actually reluctant to enroll in the program because I haven't been successful in any weight loss program. What a great program. They combine psychology, your goals, humor, and facts that really melt into a successful program for me. I enrolled on 11/30/2018. I am over 70, now walking a mile a day and down 9.4 lbs. I have learned that correct decision-making and choices is a key role in the program. I will re-enroll when my initial membership is up and work towards my goal of losing overall 25 lbs.

Noom

By Emily B., St. Paul, MN, Verified Reviewer

Noom was exactly what I needed! It helped me to stop dieting and start living. Understand the color system, helped me to eat the right portions lots of greens, moderate amounts of yellow, and small amounts of red. Unprocessing my diet was another very helpful change in my life. After around six months I'm at the point in my life I thought I would never be craving veggies, fruits, and whole grains. It was a crazy feeling the first time I grabbed a vegetable! Growing up I was not a fan, who is? Another great aspect of Noom is that they celebrate various aspects of success, not just the number on the scale. Maintaining a positive mindset, treating yourself, trying new things, and seeing physical differences. Noom has definitely helped to change my life for the better!

It works for me!

By Becky Y., Somerset, England, Verified Reviewer

I have tried many diets for the last 30 years+, but none have proved to be sustainable. The psychological approach offered by Noom is helping me to understand why I gain weight, and it's not all about foods, I actually love healthy food, but what I love most about Noom is giving myself permission to have a little bit of something I like every now and then without immediately thinking I am doomed! I am nearly two months in and have lost quite a bit of weight without too much faffing around with food lists, etc.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My observations after 6 weeks with Noom.

By Lori M., Cedar Falls, IA, Verified Reviewer

My sister called me and said she had started with Noom two weeks before she called and was losing weight and liked the program. I also needed to lose weight and joined up. We both like the psychological aspect of the program.

Although the information given is mostly what I already knew, Noom seemed to bring it all together in an order that makes sense and breaks down the components, so I see how everything affects why and what I missed trying to lose weight on my own.

I like the calorie counting and plan my meals ahead of time so I can control portions before I eat. I do wish the foods listed were easier to calculate like when I enter steak, and I get an option for cup amounts or radishes or sliced onions. There are too many brand names to search. But all in all, logging calories and portion control is the best part of Noom for me.

I have created a few of my own healthy recipes and have entered them, but it asks for nutrition information, and I don't how to calculate that, but the calories do come off my count, so I guess that is okay. I would like a way to add a recipe and know for certain that I calculated the calories for each serving.

I wish there was a way to link on to more in-depth more information on some of the daily information you provide.

I enjoy the daily contact and all the tips and information and the silly humor. It starts my day with a smile. I need to engage more with my group because now I am mostly an observer, but my coach is good and checks on me. I like the accountability.

I have lost 16 pounds in 6 weeks and feel confident that I will reach my goal with Noom. I know I need to work on the exercise portion of the program more, but I will get there. And I will stay with the program after I reach my goal. As a whole, I am happy I joined and happy with the results while working the Noom program! I have already recommended Noom to others.

It's working for me

By Debbie C., Arizona, Verified Reviewer

I'm enjoying and succeeding with the program. In early January I weigh significantly less than I did going into Thanksgiving. Not my usual pattern. Which is the point, really. For me, the hardest part is remembering to keep my phone on me to count my steps. It would also help if the calorie calculator included "bottle" under the easy units for wine.
