[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve done WW for a bit am I’m still on the fence. If one more person tells me to eat FF cheese or salad dressing with sucralose in it as a healthy option, I may scream.  I’m not sure if it’s more effective than just tracking on MFP bc I can at least see macros there.

Boom is great if you are new to the nutrition game, but it certainly have the try too hard to be cool vibe.  [/quote]

Noom is soooooo weird.  No one really talks about what it is or what it entails, to start.  Then, you get into all the different food categories -- red, yellow, green, but never get an understanding of what each category entails or what something falls under until AFTER you log to, to my understanding.  The fees are also very high from what I've heard.  Why not work with a dietician?[/quote]

It's $30 a month.  That's not expensive but it is more than WW.  They absolutely explain what the different categories are.  You didn't even sign up for Noom, you are going off word of mouth.[/quote]

That's true, I haven't used Noom (or Weight Watchers), but the word of mouth has to have some truth in it, since Noom is certainly a turn off for most of the users I've spoken to/read about!  $30 to read articles and log food into an app is pricey.  You can do that with My Fitness Pal and some Google searches.[/quote]

Hi, I am the PP from above who said that I've tried lots of different things and am loving noom.

Please consider that spreading word of mouth is maybe not a very helpful thing to do. By the way you described noom, I assumed you had some experience with it. Why would you say. how "weird" it is and that they don't explain the categories when you don't know that from personal experience? I've had such fantastic results with it that it makes me sad to think someone might be discouraged from trying it based on your description.

"$30 to read articles ..." I mean, okay, has your life never been changed by reading an article or a book? Mine certainly has. And obviously ... it's not just "Articles" it's a way of teaching cognitive behavioral practices that are applied to food. If you don't have a disordered relationship with food, they probably aren't all that helpful. But I do, and those articles have been gold.

Anyway, this is not to make you think that noom is for you! It probably isn't. But I think it's irresponsible to comment on something you don't have personal experience with, especially something like this which could have a big impact on others.
