Omada Health

What do you like best?

Non-restrictive plans that teach you to make healthy or healthier choices of what you eat. Every group has a "Coach" that is there to chat with you openly in the group or privately. There is no pressure just education that happens week by week to help you reach your goals. They provide a scale that links to your user account on the web and on your phone that when you weigh in it automatically updates your weight and progress.

What do you dislike?

The one thing that I didn't care for is how the app for recording meals differs somewhat from doing it online at their website. On the website it gives you the option to say you "skipped this meal" but not on the app. If you leave the app black for that meal then it counts against your streak of entering meals...so on days when I either skipped the meal or didn't have time for a meal I simply just put water as my meal so it would count on my streak.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you are looking for a non-restrictive option for getting healthier this would be it. I have tried some of the other options out there but only seemed to stick with them for about a a month or so but with Omada I am on week 42 and still going strong. Everyone is different and has different goals that they are trying to achieve and the Coach works with you on those and is there to assist you in obtaining your goals. This isn't like some of the others where you have a set plan and diet...Omada gives you options and empowers you to make better choices for YOU.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

The problems I was attempting to solve was to shed some pounds and make better choices when it comes to what I eat. Through this program I am able to monitor my weight daily and see progress as well as gain insight into what makes some foods better to ea and why not to eat others. Through the knowledge I learn weekly I am able to make better choices with the food that I eat and better ways to squeeze in some exercise time.
