I’d heard about Noom from a friend who’s daughter works for them, and having tried and failed to get myself on the straight and narrow to shift the weight I’d put on, I had nothing to lose so signed up to give it a try...and I haven’t looked back since!
I love that it isn’t one of these unsustainable, fad diets that restricts what and when you eat and excludes more than it allows. Noom is fundamentally all about getting those of us who somehow missed the lesson when they taught how to maintain a steady weight throughout your life...to finally grasp the concept!
Yes it’s a "diet" in that it gives you all the information you need to lose the excess weight that you want to, but right from day one the focus isn’t just on reaching your goal and disappearing jubilantly into the sunset thin for 5 minutes...it’s all about getting to grips with your own body and discovering what it needs to sustain itself, and therefore what you can eat post "diet" so you don’t regain the weight.
It is also very upfront about how hard it is to lose the weight in the first place, but tackles how you think about and relate to food to help you find a way to fight through to get to where you want to be.
Six weeks in and I’ve lost 13lbs and am over halfway to the healthy body weight I want to maintain moving forward...and I genuinely believe that I can finally make that happen with Noom in my corner!
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
