Be Conscious About Noom Red Orange Foods.

Consume Moderate Amounts of Noom Yellow Foods.

Noom organizes food choices into three categories: In fact, by setting my weight loss at the tortoise speed (versus the jack rabbit or hare vs the cheetah), I have 2,400+ calories to eat each day. Quickly, though, I realized there was nothing to be afraid of and they weren’t too low at all. I thought the Noom calories were too low. When I discovered how many calories I would be “allowed” to eat each day, I thought I would be starving. When I decided to download the Noom app on my iPhone and get started, I knew I was trying a diet plan that focused on calories.įruit and veggies would no longer be “free.”Ĭan you tell I’m a former Weight Watchers? You can read more about that in my review of the Hardcore on the Floor calendar. Spoiler alert: what really tipped the scales in my favor was adding strength training.

I’ll address all of that and more in this updated article. So, I’ve updated this Noom review from 2019, when I first did the program, to be reflective of the program today.Īlso, Noom has made a lot of changes to the app–many of things that I’d complained about in my initial review. So, I started working with a professional in cognitive behavioral therapy.Īnd with six months of that kind of counseling under my belt, I came to appreciate exactly what Noom is trying to teach you (which I hadn’t recognized before). Whereas before Noom broke foods out into categories of green, yellow and red, now they are green, yellow and orange.Īlso, with everything going on in the world, my anxiety and depression became worse. One, I fell off the Noom wagon, tried another way to lose weight, and when that didn’t work, came back to Noom.Īnd, two, Noom recently updated the program.
