The gist of it
- Brain-training behaviors: Noom Weight is a psychology-backed program that helps you swap out old habits with new, sustainable ones
- (re)Lax, bro: Lessons can be as little as one minute, so fits into your schedule. Not the other way around
- Zero guilt, zero diet: A color-coded system that focuses on nutrition without labeling foods as ‘good’ or ‘bad’
We know, it’s another weight loss app.
But hey, if you’ve tried every app and trend and nothing’s stuck, listen up. This one isn’t about food restriction; it’s about checking under the hood (your brain) to see how it functions.
Noom’s Weight Program is giving ‘therapist, coach, dietitian,’ but also ‘bestie who’s been through this before, and and wants to follow you on your journey’. It’s a mix of psychology, coaching, flexible food tracking, and a community of folks who have been where you are (yup, even there).
The “Why” Factor
Noom’s goal isn’t to fix you. It wants to be the guardrails in the noisy world of wellness, helping you figure out what your body actually needs to live its best life. The magic touch is its psychology-based approach. It’s less about what you’re eating and more about the why.
A gut check, essentially (pun-intended), to help you understand your habits. All without the side of guilt.
Here’s what Noom Weight offers:
- The Color System: There are no ‘forbidden’ foods here. Noom uses a color-coded system to help you understand which foods offer the most nutrients without the side of guilt.
- Flexibility: Your plans, your lessons, your logs, your pace. It changes when your life changes. No added pressure.
- Forums & community: You can share, vent, or lurk with others in the same boat as you.
The numbers
- 95% of customers say Noom is a good long-term solution1
- After completing a 6 month program, Noom users may continue weight loss for 2 years2
