Noom Diet Reviews

I have tried a number of programs, including a Diabetic Diet, Weight Watchers (three times), SlimFast Meal Plan, etc., and when I get to the holidays ( just before Christmas to just after New Years), I always gain everything I previously lost back. Usually 5 to 10 lbs or more.

I started Noom about the last week of November and I was down 7.3 lbs by December 19th. That was great for me! I did gain and then lose up to 3 lbs through the holidays, but with the daily lessons, support of my coach and my group, as of 1/2/19 I only gained back 1 lb. of the 7.3 I lost. That for me is a great accomplishment!

Noom psychology and lessons are awesome. I look forward to each day to see what’s new! Once I tried the 14-day free trial, I had to continue. For the first time in 20 years, I BELIEVE I will reach my goal of a 40 lb loss with the help of this program.

I’ve been with Noom for about a month, and learning the "why" (psychologically) has really been a huge help. Everyone needs to know "why" behind their pitfalls, and even though I’m a physician, I KNOW what to do and HOW to do it, but I couldn’t get past WHY I’d fall backward. This is a total internal journey, which other apps don’t even get into. If you don’t understand your internal/external/stressors, no matter how few calories and how much exercise you do, it is TEMPORARY, but Noom is really helping you take internal control so it can and WILL last!

What was appealing about Noom to me is that it is a healthy lifestyle change for the long haul. I have no interest in fad diets that don't work in the long run. For me, having a coach and being accountable is a winning combination. I now think carefully about what I eat, and have ramped up my exercise. I have lost over 9 lbs in 8 weeks, and am very happy with the results.

I’ve tried other programs in the past with luck. With Weight Watchers, I lost about 30 lbs. I decided to try something different and put forth the cash to give Noom a try. To date, I’ve lost the expected amount of weight. This part is not disappointing. I am very disappointed with the app. It is not easy to navigate. I feel like the group coach and individual coach use a script and do little to actually assist. The big frustration is the amount of info that is shared daily. I never really feel like I have a grasp on a concept and then it’s into the next. The overuse of acronyms causes me not to attend.

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

Since I created computer-based training programs for the military before I retired, I'm probably harder to please than the average Noom client. I may be a bit picky, but I experienced some minor frustrations with the app. When I try to do something and the app doesn't respond as expected, TWICE, I give up and move on to the next task. There were a couple of times that I thought the daily reading stuff was asking me to share something with my group, but when I hit the next button (whatever it happened to be labeled that day), it would take me on to the next numbered task. Ah well, this isn't life-or-death stuff (like military training), so I just moved on. Sorry, I never made a note of exactly where I was experiencing these problems - but I didn't know I'd be reviewing the app.

So there you have it. I'm very happy with the actual content of the program and Noom's whole philosophy towards weight management. I do like having the one-on-one coach (I think you call it a goal specialist), and the idea of a group chat is excellent, although I find your group chat environment is limiting - don't seem to be able to have private chats with anyone in the group; it doesn't even appear that the group leader has that ability.

Something I do love about the app is logging food and having a list of common foods other people have already logged available to choose from. But I'm left wondering what happens when I add something that's not already on the list? I get a message saying "thanks for improving Noom," or some such thing, and I'm left with the impression that I'll be notified when my food has been reviewed and added to the list - I've logged several items and never been notified about anything?

I love this app. I love that it counts my calories, so I stay in budget and that it shows me which color categories I’m eating in which proportions so I am mindful of balanced eating. I also love the user-friendly aspect of the app. It’s very easy to navigate. The course information is extremely interesting and enlightening and humorous too. Overall it’s a great experience, and if someone is committed and willing to do the steps such as tracking, it will work.

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

Noom is a fun interactive program that teaches you about the psychology relative to why you eat what you eat. At times the info can be a bit overwhelming, but you can take a break from reading and still catch up!

Best 10 minutes of your day!

I joined Noom five weeks ago when my doctor told me I had high cholesterol. I wasn’t ready to start eating healthy due to the holidays but read the articles and chatted with the coaches. I am finally ready to eat better and become healthier - I love that the app will help me be accountable.

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

I’m really enjoying the program so far (six weeks). It works well with all of the things that I’ve learned about growth mindset and learning in general. I’m a veteran educator and this really makes sense to me. I’m not feeling deprived at all. I feel very much in control.

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

This app has not just taught me how to lose weight, it has given me great tips on how to live a better life. It gives you great advice on how food, your environment, and your behaviors can impact your health and it is truly a benefit to anyone who decides to try it for themselves.

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

I was skeptical when I signed up for the trial, but this is an excellent approach to losing the weight and keeping it off. It is about the psychology behind what makes us eat the way we do, and it offers simple and easy-to-understand "tricks" to deal with it. I now think about food very differently and feel much more in control. It is not a plan that you need to be on forever; once you learn how to get to the goals you want, you are good to go. Some people "complain" about the price, but I think it is so worth it...
