How do I choose a weight loss program?
Look for a safe, effective weight-loss program
- Flexibility. A flexible plan doesn’t forbid certain foods or food groups, but instead includes a variety of foods from all the major food groups.
- Balance. Your plan should include adequate nutrients and calories.
- Likeability.
- Activity.
Is Noom free?

What should I sign up for to lose weight?
Many people find it helpful to sign a written contract committing to the process. This contract may include things like the amount of weight you want to lose, the date you’d like to lose the weight by, the dietary changes you’ll make to establish healthy eating habits, and a plan for getting regular physical activity.
When do you need a weight loss program?
Your health care professional may be able to help you make lifestyle changes to reach and maintain a healthy weight. However, if you’re having trouble making these lifestyle changes—or if these changes aren’t enough to help you reach and stay at a healthy weight—you may want to consider a weight-loss program or other types of treatment.
What makes a successful weight loss program successful?
To reach and stay at a healthy weight over the long term, you must focus on your overall health and lifestyle habits, not just on what you eat. Successful weight-loss programs should promote healthy behaviors that help you lose weight safely, that you can stick with every day, and that help you keep the weight off.
What’s the best way to help someone lose weight?
Find family members or friends who will support your weight loss efforts. Making lifestyle changes can feel easier when you have others you can talk to and rely on for support. You might have coworkers or neighbors with similar goals, and together you can share healthful recipes and plan group exercise.
