Anyone use NOOM ?

[Anonymous]

Is this a thing for thirty something’s or is it good for Gen X? I am post menopausal and need a nutrition tracker. Is there a better one for me ?

I'm a Gen X'r. I hated Noom and didn't manage to stick with it for long at all. I was very successful on WW twice (even though it is hatefully boomerish). So I prefer the WW app.

I lost 45 lbs with them and I really liked it.the difference is the daily (short) lessons about the psychology of eating and tackling why you eat too much or crave unhealthy things, and teaching new coping methods that work

+1. The calorie restrictions were so low as to be laughable. I have lost weight with the slow & steady approach.

I have found Noom to be excessively generous with calories. I just opened the app and for today, where I have been in bed sick so completely sedentary, my weight loss calorie range target is 1300-2000. That seems standard.

I've heard very mixed things about Noom. Some people love it, some hate it.

If you are just looking for nutrition tracking, Lose it is great, and for more detail, Cronometer. I prefer Lose it for ease of use, but am now using Cronometer because it is better for tracking saturated fat (my LDL is elevated post-menopause).

I learned about Lose It on here, and I really like it. Very user friendly.

Noom gave you a 700 calorie range for one day? You realize that’s crazy, right?

Noon changed the calories in 2022. They recommended 900 per day when I tried it in 2020. That was objectively dumb and I cannot recommend it even with the higher ranges.

It isn’t crazy at all. It is dependent on my fitness habits, which because I have a chronic health condition that fluctuates, can easily go from nothing to 25k steps/day.

You said a 700 calorie variation on a sick day, but ok. Noon still sucks.

How is Noom supposed to know I’m sick?

None of the apps read your mind. Anyway, I’m down 20 lbs. using it (diet and exercise only, no meds).

Oh, BTW when I started my range was much smaller. The app adjusts based on your history. It isn’t the same range for everyone. If you are consistent it will narrow.

I hated Noom. The logging and calorie counts were all over the place. The messages “you had a strong week” were the same whether you logged every day or not at all. I got sick and didn’t log for a week or so and it told me I was “doing great.” I found it very discouraging.
