What is Reddit's opinion of Noom Coach: Health & Weight?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Something that worked quite well for me, in particular for keeping myself in check those few days of "not really caring" as you put it, was using the android app Noom Coach.

Seeing the cold, hard numbers, and how much of the exercising effort I was objectively throwing away by eating what I shouldn't really stopped me in my tracks many times.

Use Noom Coach. Has very detailed Indian meal info (including over a dozen varities of Dosa :D).

The app Noom was the first and only thing that has ever helped me with emotional eating. It's an educational weight loss app based on science and really taking into account the psychological hurdles, not just telling you "do this, do that". It's kind of cognitive behavioral therapy in an app. I don't mean to sound like an app, but the money is really worth it. I reached my goal weight almost effortlessly after years of trying. Good luck!

Your BMI is in healthy range and being absolutely honest I do not know about how do build muscles. However I would try to answer about how to keep calories intake in check.

Install Noom. Fill in the details ( age,height,weight) and select maintain weight in options.

It would calculate max calories intake per day.

For a week do not try to keep it under daily target. Go about your day as you would go normally but start clocking everything you eat in the app.

Here is a website which has calories count for Indian food.

After one or two week check records. Check how much calories are you eating daily and what you can cut off from your diet or replace it.

That APP will also help you calculate that how much calories you will lose doing different types of exercise.

If you want to lose weight you can change that in AAP and it will recalculate the daily calorie intake.

From what details you have given you can cut sugar. Once a day is okay but do not take 10 spoons of sugar daily. Stop eating samosas/puff and replace it with fruit salad. Replace omelette with boiled egg . These small changes will make a difference.

For example 1 lemonade ( 300 ml) contains around 120 calories. It's zero without sugar. I will add company and product name later here which is jsut lemon juice( no sugar added like in squash)

It's a weight-loss app:

Noom Health & Weight

Hi,

I started out at 380lb's me for reference I am now down to around 298. I still have a good way to go but I would like to share with you how I did this to see if it could help you.

Firstly before you think about Insanity or any of that beachbody program bullshit, fix your diet Diet Doing this will be what makes you lose weight, you cannot out-train a bad diet its about as counter productive as it gets. When you have looked at what you should be eating, start tracking your food, I use Noom other people use myfitnesspal or write it down in a notebook or whatever works for you. then get yourself weighed at the doctors so you know exactly where you are starting from.

First things first, change is hard. you didn't get to your current size overnight so don't expect to lose it overnight either. for the first week just log what you normally eat in a notebook, don't over think but just try to make yourself aware of what you are eating.

Don't worry about when you eat, for guys like me and you its simply calories in Vs calories out, what that means is you need to eat less than you burn off during your normal daily life. ( I will get onto exercise shortly)

So after a week of logging your food, you should be ready to start losing some weight, well you wouldn't be on here talking about insanity if you didn't want to make a change. Get that TDEE from the wiki this is how much you need to eat to maintain your current mass, you need to eat less than this to lose weight. That's it, no jokes no, broscience, no 0 carb, 0 fat kale smoothie diets. fuck all that shit.

Now you have been tracking a week its time to start kicking off that weight loss get that TDEE amount and knock off 200 calories and stick to it for a week, If you do this and only this YOU WILL LOSE SOME WEIGHT! it might not be loads but that's not the point, the point is "its not that hard"^TM . When Monday rolls around do the same again but this time we take off 300 calories. and continue at this rate until you at a 500 calorie deficit. This is the golden zone, not that much of a deficit that you are starving but enough to strip the fat off.

Exercise! We got there eventually. yay! Walking is your friend, P90X/Insanity/etc will wreck you for days and make you starving, while this is not a bad thing if you subscribe to the no pain no gain bollocks, I like the snowball approach, little pushes to get the ball rolling faster and faster until it's rolling that fast stopping isn't an option and you wonder why the hell you didn't do this years sooner.

Start by walking round your neighbourhood for 10-15 mins a day, then build up to half an hour, if you have the hour a day to do insanity then you can walk around for an hour to get out and see people walk a dog (doesn't have to be yours), the important thing is the habit you are forming, by doing this every day for a month you have built a damn good habit that will help you for the rest of your life. When you have been walking for an hour solidly every day for a month, it might be time to consider something from here /r/bodyweightfitness

The best thing to do however is not to try and change everything at once, because you will make everything 10 times harder for yourself, by ramping up steadily you will trick your body into accepting more exercise than you ever thought you would be able to do.

I apologise if I have totally gone off on a tangent, but everything is linked and you can't really change one thing without discussing everything else.
