What is the noom diet?

Anyone else heard of the Noom Diet? What is it? I'm looking for a good diet for weight loss that isn't too extreme but that also has a bit more direction than following The Mediterranean, for example. Thoughts? Opinions?

It's a personalized weight loss program that is offered through an app with the same name. It's kinda like the traffic light diet and highlights foods in "green" that are lower in calories and good for you and "red" foods that are higher in calories and that should be limited. Via the app you can also track your dieting and exercise progress, and stuff like that. It doesn't look like a bad diet, but doesn't look like anything revolutionary, either.

So then you just download this app and follow its instructions? Is that all the Noom Diet is?

Sort of. You get the app and follow the advice for dieting. However, what makes it pretty good and why people tend to like it is that it connects you to a supportive network. it function using a community-based approach, which can be very effective at helping people lose extra pounds during their weight loss journey and maintain what they've lost because you have a community of people supporting you along the way. :D

Is this diet American?

Is this diet American?

I think so. That said, the one thing I wasn't wild about when researching this diet is that it glues you to your phone. I'm all for tracking and staying on top of my health and everything, but I don't want to be consulting my phone every five seconds.

Really? You need to be on your phone that much? Is it one of those programs where you need to check in a lot or something?

That's what I'm wondering.

That said, thanks for all the info so far guys. Based on what you've all said, it seems to sound like a pretty decent diet and a rip off of the stop-light/traffic light diet LOL. Is it free?

Nope. Not free. And honestly, I hate the ads for it so much (especially since I see them constantly on YouTube) I wouldn't bother trying it. There's nothing revolutionary about it. Seems like a giant scam to me. I would highly recommend you really research this one before buying into it.

I agree! I hate the ads for this diet and it does look like a flaming scam. I would say avoid it.
