The Noom diet is a customized meal plan for weight loss that is offered through the mobile application of the same name. The app's developers say it aids users in achieving their ideal body weight.
The Noom App connects users with a virtual health coach and offers them individualized meal plans.
The app also serves as a social platform where users can share their weight loss experiences and discuss their eating and exercise habits.
In this article, we will look at the Noom Diet and the research behind it.
To that end, Noom has been developed as a mobile application to aid in the process of dieting, physical fitness, and general well-being.
Using a novel traffic light system, this app ranks foods according to their caloric density. Regarding caloric density, "green" foods like spinach and broccoli and "red" foods like nuts and seeds are on opposite ends of the spectrum. The general dietary recommendation is to base one's diet on green foods and only eat red foods in moderation.
Noom adapts a weight loss strategy specifically for each user. This feature is only available to those who pay for a Noom Subscription and fill out a short survey on the company's website or mobile app. The algorithm will then tailor a program for weight loss to the individual's specific requirements.
An individual will be matched with a suitable health coach shortly after their initial login to Noom. To help the client reach their weight loss goals, the coach will offer guidance on healthy dietary choices.
According to Noom, their custom diet plans work and lead to sustained weight loss.
To begin using Noom, users must first complete a questionnaire covering topics such as:
Users of Noom are required to disclose demographic information, including but not limited to the following:
• Age
• Gender
• Measurements
• Diabetes status
• Fitness objectives
• Behaviours and routines: These questions ascertain whether the respondent has previously attempted weight-reduction strategies and has experienced any life events that may make achieving the desired weight more challenging.
• Nutrition and exercise: These inquiries reveal a person's interest in improving their diet and exercise habits, as well as their familiarity with cognitive behavioral therapy.
According to Noom, your responses to their questionnaire are used to tailor a weight loss program designed to help you lose weight and keep it off for good.
Noom does not provide details regarding the features that are included in each plan. Since the app tailors each user's plan based on their unique set of demographic information and survey responses, it's possible that doing so wouldn't even be possible. The app also adjusts user plans over time to make them more suitable.
In general, the following will be included in plans:
• A place to keep track of what you eat.
• How much exercise do you get
• How much weight do you gain or lose
• Access to relevant articles and recipes
• A coach who will track your progress and offer advice
• A community of other subscribers.
