The Noom program was not what I thought it was supposed to be at first. I thought you had a personal coach like a personal trainer. Well, I was wrong. You get a personal coach and an advisor. They do help you along the way, but the program is designed to let you be the captain of the ship. It takes a while to figure out how this works, but there is lots of help.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
