I started Noom a little over four weeks ago. So far I have learned basically the same stuff as other programs just more sophisticated and in-depth terminology. I find that I feel like I need to start over because of all the task that is being taught are so fast-paced. My advise would be to have a notebook and write the tasks down because there are so many tasks that I learn a new one and get excited before I've gotten the last one down and I'm focusing on the new and forgetting the old.
I have dropped a few pounds. I guess as long as I'm not gaining it's a good thing. Time will tell to see if everything can be accomplished that the program is meant for.
The food logging needs a drastic overhaul. I find most of the things that I try to log are not in the database. It's not user-friendly as far as food available and ease of logging as the other programs I've used.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
