Overpriced & Overvalued – Noom: Healthy Weight Loss Plan Review

Noom is basically a simplified version of many other less expensive or even free apps that offer pretty much everything Noom offers. The main difference is you can be paired with a coach. In my opinion that is the only benefit to Noom. They offer “custom” exercise and nutrition plans, but they are not custom to the individual. The questions the software asks makes you think it maybe custom, but it’s as generic as they come and for the $50 price tag they slap on it you would do just as well downloading any number of free of lower priced exercise plans. Their nutrition information is extremely limited and simply breaks food down to three colors Green, Yellow, and Red. The app tracks your calories, but does nothing to suggest how to break that down between carbs, protein, and fats. The nutrition is where they lost me. I get that there is a lot of psychology involved in their app and I can appreciate how that can help some people. However, there are ways to get actual customized service tailored to you and your goals for the same price or less. That’s my $0.02 worth.
