GLP-1s are highly effective for weight loss—helping people achieve 10-20% body weight reduction in many studies—but they work best when combined with lifestyle changes. Noom’s unique advantage is its focus on behavior: daily nudges, education, and a dynamic support community, all designed to help users stick to routines, manage appetite, and avoid regaining weight after stopping medication.
Studies and clinical trials consistently find that patients who pair GLP-1 drugs with behavior change programs lose more weight, experience fewer side effects, and keep pounds off longer than those on medication alone.
