Has anyone tried Noom dieting app?

I tried it and quite enjoyed it. I found starting the day with the short readings helped focus me and the app was easy to use. I didn't keep it up though because I don't really like using the phone app and prefer something web based. Overall I would recommend it but, like everything, it will only help if you have the motivation to stick with it properly.

Thank you for that information CafeAuLait.

I looked at it but decided that I didn't want to count calories. Instead I used Second Nature, a similar, but UK based system. For £40 a month for 3 months I had the support of an online group, a health coach, recipes etc. Loved it and lost a stone which has stayed off. Check it out.

The issue with Noom is that it limits you to a very low diet - 1200 calories

I use Nutracheck , very good app and has a forum for chatting or reading about other users progress , queries or recipes. x

I have heard of this app but never used it.

DD has several of the Pinch of Noom cook books they are very good.

I use hypnotherapy from a company online called Clearmindshypnotherapy. You choose which ones you want, they email it to you and you save it into your folders and can then listen as often as you like. It’s very effective. They do all sorts from dieting, giving up alcohol, and getting fit. Cost is about £12.50 per package. They are very helpful too.

I notice Noom is everywhere now.
Has anyone else tried it?
Thanks.

Isn’t that Pinch of Nom and no connection ?

I have looked at most of these Second Nature, Noom etc and they all seem to have one thing in common - to relieve me of pounds - £££££ not lb lb lb

I have this book

Yes the book is different.

Was hoping for a really good app. I find groups not my thing (though accept they work for many).

My daughter has been using this noom app for a week and is impressed but aren't we all impressed "early days" - she says it's easy to use.

Would like a more mature perspective.

As regards costs, a charge is OK if I use it - I suppose it's a bit like a gym membership which is cheap if you use it a lot and expensive if you stay at home on your sofa!

Foxygloves I second that - pinch of Nom recipes are good - and nothing to do with Noom - lots easily available on Pinterest

I used Noon for about six months and then fell off the wagon. Like all diet plans, it works while you’ve the willpower. In fairness it’s perfectly sensible and tries to address the psychological issues around over eating. I found the daily”coaching sessions” in the American accent/wording very irritating as time went by. The daily weigh in graph is encouraging, and the calorie counting inputting very simple to use. I was steadily losing weight but life got in the way, and I can’t blame Noom for that!

Thanks Mamo - does the app "learn" what you are likely to be eating in the sort-of "predictive text" way?

And does it only log calories or is it "mindful" of your vitamin intake?
