Noom Reviews

Unless you have a lot of weight to lose, you won’t lose even an average of 1 lb per week, assuming you stick to their plan and follow all the assignments. Most of what is in the app is lots of info found on diet blogs. Also as much as they claim to be different, there’s a lot of diet culture in the app’s phrasing (along with so many typos, it truly feels like a blogger wrote it). TLDR: try a bunch of diet tips and ask yourself how you feel before and after

The coach was robotic and I never felt she was particularly helpful. The group wasn’t very lively for the first couple weeks (until the trial period ends basically) and after that I got put into a “real” group which was a bit better. I chatted with other members frequently and even made a couple accountability friends on it. The group leader only showed up to add daily motivational posts. Noom’s signature lifestyle psychology lessons may be very helpful for people who truly don’t understand nutrition and their own eating triggers. My main issue though was the app itself. For 2021 I expected better performance. I hated typing on it and it frequently timed out, and they don’t offer a website version to access like MyFitnessPal. A couple of my groupmates on different phones (all Android iirc) also said they had performance issues as well.

It's a diet. It's not that different than any free tools. The big issue is they wouldn't let me cancel or even pause my membership when I got pregnant. It would have been unhealthy for me and my baby to continue the program but I was stuck paying. Then immediately postpartum they started sending me mail to get me to sign up! Talk about predatory marketing.
