GOLO vs NOOM?

BornToShop — Mon, 31 Aug 2020 00:13:08 GMT

I am very interested in either of these weight reduction programs. I have done research but still confused what would be better. I would appreciate any feedback if anyone has experienced either one of these programs! TIA!

Don't remember details, but recently there was a negative news segment on Noom. Something along the lines of it being difficult to get out of it you choose to do so.

I'll speak to the ingredient stack in the GOLO supplement. The active ingredients are magnesium (a smooth morning move), zinc? I'm clueless there and chromium which is a mineral and will help with glucose metabolism. You can dupe these 3 at GNC for less than $20.

The rest are commonly called fat burners. Like caffeine, may give you energy.

I do take chromium, 200mcg, twice a day with meals. Cuts sugar cravings for me and does help control bloodsugar.

Honestly? Neither one. NOOM is in hot water with the BBB for overcharging and continuing to charge people after they've dropped their subscription. GOLO? Any plan that has you taking THEIR supplements as a part of the plan should send you running.

You don't need a "weight reduction" or "diet" plan. You need to make a lifestyle change. Move more. Eat less. Don't eat ******. If you're determined to pay for something, look in to a lifetime subscription to Lose It. I think it's right around $100.

I signed up for Noom's trial and couldn't get past all the buzzwords they use. It was constant. I know that may sound stupid but it was like getting emails from valley girls. LOL Or whatever you would call them now. The little I did see was pure common sense life changes. I'm with my tried and true Weight Watchers.

I want to thank you all for your responses and valuable input on this thread. My forum friends, etc; you are my levelizers. I have decided that Common Sense costs nothing, I know myself and I know what I must do to get this COVID weight off. It's called getting off my b**t and getting reasonable exercise as well, planning my menus with needs to be eaten. Ready...Set...Start...!!

@BornToShop You don't need either of these. People are probably getting sick of me talking about it, but I strongly urge you to do some research on healthy keto. Dr. Berg has a lot of good informational videos. Yes, he does hawk products sometime, but ignore that if you aren't interested. I've been following the keto way of eating since mid June last year and in 14 months I've lost 104 lbs. I feel fantastic and am healthier than I've been in years.

No need to pay someone to tell you what you already know. Or, purchase their magic potions. Or, restrictive food choices. Determination accomplishes your goals. When you get it straight in your head, you'll take care of it. Works that way with everything we put off.

Dr Eric Westman is another doc to check out. He's known for his page 4 diet.

Stay away from NOOM, people.

My mother got caught in it and had to go through an entire dispute with her CC company to get out of it.

I'm firmly in the "do your OWN research, figuteout what has caused you to be

overweight in the past, find a way of doing THE OPPOSITE OF DOING THINGS THAT

MADE YOU GAIN WEIGHT, and incorporate the NEW IDEAS into your lifestyle"

approach.

Losing weight MAY cause temporary discomfort, so be ready for that.

Am I happier and healthier with 100 pounds gone? Yes.

You are very welcome. There are a couple of things I don’t agree with him on, but I still appreciate his message and how he explains the science. What I don’t agree with him on is unlimited veggies and his higher amount of carbs permitted. Low carb and keto are not the same thing so be sure to research. If you have questions, you know where to find me.

Questioning GOLO or NOOM reminded me of the phrase “looking for a Magic Pill”. There are no magic pills in weight loss. Success comes from making lifestyle changes, replacing old habits with new ones, and making new/better choices. If you can find it on Netflix or YouTube, look for the documentary “The Magic Pill”. It was a real eye opener. When my DH and I started keto it was on,y about weight loss. Then we watched the documentary and it clicked, causing us to decide it would be a lifestyle. I hope you can find it, it’s very interesting.
