Nice program
04/01/2025

I like the program and app. It gives quite a few layers to touch on how you best connect. Also, the program requirements do not expect 100% on all layers - so you can really build it into a habit - not a short-term fix. I like the short videos too - they are quick, logical and informative (maybe even just to get you back on track). They do have some exercise videos but they are definitely not the strength of the program. I tried to use them and found them a bit boring (and I don’t really need a lot!). Overall, the coaching is solid and the team connections help. If I were to provide some advice, I would suggest some visual inspiration (when you login), enhance exercise video and, possibly, some added organization for recipes (filters - clean eating, Mediterranean, anti-inflammatory, etc).

Good Program, Not So Good App

I only signed up with this app because my insurance company makes it a requirement for weight loss programs. The program so far is okay, if you have time to input things. The food database isn’t very large so when you try to scan something in often times, the app doesn’t recognize the product and you have to manually put it in. We have a coach that does group sessions. But the service isn’t very personalized. It’s sort of a universal weight loss program.My problem with HabitNu is the app itself. It has multiple glitches. My insurance requires at least six months of using this program in order to proceed with weight loss guidance. I actually signed up with the program last summer and was unable to use the app until January of this year. That was only after multiple emails to HabitNu customer service and my insurance company’s customer service. They reset the app and I was ready to go. My problem now is when you watch the videos it has multiple stalls, sometimes the app will close and restart on its own, some of the PDF files the coach uploads cannot be opened, and so far, I have not been able to actively participate in the group video meetings because the app freezes as soon as it connects. I even tried using the app on multiple devices. Hopefully they’ll provide an update and fix all of the glitches and issues with the app soon.

Encouragement

Habitnu is a lifestyle changing program to prevent diabetes. The core of it's approach is encouragement , tracking and support. The coaching is the best part of the program. In a small group each individual is able to contribute and help support the other members along with the coach and find others struggling and solving the same challenges while changing to a more active lifestyle with better food choices and activity levels. The coach helps each one face the challenges they face and move forward. By recording everything you eat you are not only made more away of portion control but in many cases hidden carbs, calories and fat. There are challenges that make exercise both competitive and personally rewarding. I enjoyed the hikes that show you virtually beautiful views along the way. Since most of traveling has been limited in the last couple years it is a progressive way to see and visit sites along hikes based on miles walked each day.I truly believe that Habitnu has the support, accountability and information to help almost anyone to reduce weight and avoid or eliminate diabetes.

Some improvements needed

Based on other reviews and my experience, looks like Coach Sally is the only one that knows how to coach (unfortunately she is not my coach). I appreciate my health insurance paid for a free scale because I signed up for this. But due to the weird restrictions and poor shipping of the scale, I can’t earn a Fitbit so be careful if that’s important to you. The app itself is missing some key components, most notably that it doesn’t adjust caloric intake for activity levels. You also can’t copy meals, although one of the typical weight loss strategies is to have a few reliable meals, especially for breakfast and lunch. Combined with an uncurated database, it makes for some tedious logging. The videos are very basic info (although according to a prior response on that issue, the app developer blames the CDC for that). Overall, if you’ve done the weight loss thing before and just need a way to (1) get a free scale and (2) start logging again, and your insurance pays for it, it’s reasonable. If you are new to weight loss and need some personal support, look elsewhere. (And to the insurance companies, come on guys. You can do better than this. )
