Noom has been fairly average compared to other programs I've tried. Although I enjoy learning the science and psychology behind dieting and some of the struggles that go with is, I haven't seen enough results to feel like it's worth all the literature. Also, it took a long time to get synced up with my coaches, and even when I did, they aren't very helpful. My goal coach typically asks questions of me rather than giving me answers to my own questions. When she does attempt to answer a question of mine, she most often just regurgitates articles or charts from what I've read that week, rather than practical tips or encouragement. This isn't helpful for someone who is struggling emotionally with weight loss. If I could just get the information from the daily reading, why would I need her as a coach? Most importantly, though, I feel that this app has helped me balance my healthy food intake, but not really changed my weight at all in almost 6 weeks. It's even more frustrating since the online introduction predicted I would be at my target weight by now, rather than still struggling to lose more than 3lbs.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
