My doctor was lecturing me to lose weight because my blood pressure and A1C were high. "It’s diet and exercise," but doctors don’t tell you what "diet and exercise" looks like in practical terms. The doctor gave me diet pills. They didn’t work. I killed myself working with a trainer 5 days a week for over a year, didn’t reach my goal. Trainers don’t know nutrition. I tried counting calories with some success but I didn’t reach my goal, and I regained the weight.
Noom is different. It’s giving me practical tools that I can actually use in real life and stick to. It not only addresses the "how to eat" that others couldn’t tell me but the "why I eat." It deals with my relationship with food. I’m losing weight, eating things I like and I’m not hungry or depriving myself. I now have tools to deal with business lunches and social events. I still have dessert occasionally, and I still lose weight. Noom filled in the missing information that I needed. If I had access to this information earlier, I wouldn’t be obese now.
Just 4 weeks in I’m down ten pounds, and I’ve lost 2.5 inches around my waist. I’m going to buy a new belt today because my pants keep slipping down.
One thing I’ve noticed is that a majority of the narratives use female pronouns, I’m a male. It’s not a big point (I’m not sensitive), but it does seem slanted one way. You might consider being a bit more neutral.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
