[quote=Anonymous]I’m not furious. As an adult currently using Noom, I have previously used a program through my employer called Omada Health. Omada didn’t work for me because it is not focused on weight loss - more on diabetes prevention. I can see some combination of the nutritional lessons from those programs and the idea of seeing how much red/yellow/green foods you eat being helpful to educate kids while not focusing heavily on weight and calories. Some teens might really want help, but would feel more comfortable using an app and talking to people online than going to “fat camp” or a weekly meeting. I’d rather my teen got solid advice than search the internet and fall into pro-Ana and other dangerous stuff. I think if they can keep the focus on functional health - blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol- and minimize the weight aspect of it - it could be helpful. When talking to adults I am often floored at how little nutritional knowledge they have or how bad some misconceptions they have are. [/quote]
