The Noom Diet
based on 1 reviews
Be aware: this is only the goal of this diet, not necessarily its outcome. Results vary from person to person. Consult your doctor or dietician before starting this (or any other) diet.
The Noom Diet is a diet where you keep track of your calories in an application on your mobile phone.
On the homepage you can compare this diet with other diets.

The app is called Noom and can be downloaded from the App Store or Play Store. In the app you indicate how much and how fast you want to lose weight. You also enter your gender, age, height and weight. The app then determines how many calories you are allowed per day.
Besides the information you enter, you can also connect the app to other health apps on your phone. Additionally, it has a pedometer, which tracks how much you move around each day.
The inventors have divided all products into three categories: red, yellow and green. Green is good, yellow less good and red is bad. The app divides the number of calories you are allowed (by the app) in a day over these three categories. The most calories should be in the green category, a little less in the yellow category and the fewest in the red category. The app also indicates the maximum number of calories for yellow and red.
Green products are those that are low in fat and/or calories, or high in good nutrients. You want most of the products you eat to be in this category, according to the inventors. These include vegetables, fruits and wholemeal products, as well as low-fat dairy products, tofu and soy products.
The products in the yellow category are products with more calories and/or less good nutrients than green products. They are products that should be eaten in moderation. This category includes lean meat, starchy vegetables, white bread, white rice, white pasta, eggs, fish, chicken, avocado, nuts, olives and olive oil.

Red products are those that are high in calories and/or low in good nutrients. You should eat these products less often or, for example, in smaller portions. These include normal (not lean) meat, snacks, fried products, full-fat dairy products, sweets, fast food and soft drinks.
The app contains different programmes or courses that should help you reach your goals. You pay a monthly fee for the programmes, depending on what kind of programme/course you are following.
A number of books have been published on the Noom diet, including 'All about Noom diet' and 'Noom diet'. Additionally, several cookbooks have been written, for example 'Noom diet Cookbook' and 'Complete Noom Diet Cookbook'.
With Noom you have to keep track of calories. Read more about calorie counting here. Examples of other diets that require you to track calories are the 1200 calorie diet, the Cambridge diet and the Sonja Bakker diet.

As you see fit
Not really a diet but more a tool to gain insight into your habits. It's good that the nutritional basics score on green and snacks on red, so you can quickly see what is healthy and what is not. It also contains many recipes that can support you in a healthier lifestyle. The disadvantage of this app is that (when I read reviews) you are quickly tied to an expensive subscription and that there are few Dutch products that you can add yourself.
With the professional help of a dietitian it should be easier to reach your goals. Please contact a dietician in your area or talk to a doctor before starting any diet.
Please take note that most diets do not have a scientific basis.
Consult your doctor or dietician before starting a diet, especially if you have a chronic condition like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, lung disease or kidney disease.
If you think you might have an eating disorder (like anorexia or bulimia), it is important to look for professional help. Contact your (house) doctor or find help elsewhere. Here you can find a list of several websites that can provide (online) help. These sites also provide information for people that know someone with an eating disorder.
