00:00 You may know someone who has tried the trending new diet called Noom.
00:03 Noom is a weight loss program that touts itself as a psychology-based program to help people
00:08 make healthier choices in their eating pattern and lifestyle.
00:11 Noom is highly focused on keeping everything very individualized, so there aren't specific
00:17 foods that are considered off-limits.
00:18 Instead, they use a color system to sort of rank foods based on their nutrition.
00:25 Even though it's touted as a tool to promote healthy eating, labeling foods in any way
00:30 either with a color system or explicitly as "good" or "bad" can damage your relationship
00:35 with food and can take the enjoyment out of eating.
00:38 One upside of Noom is that it encourages eating more whole foods like fruits and vegetables
00:41 that most Americans aren't getting enough of.
00:44 Plus, some people might find the accountability of a program and a personal coach helpful.
00:49 First off, it's pretty expensive.
00:51 Also, the app uses potentially triggering language like "skangxiety" referring to
00:56 scale anxiety and strict labels of foods which could easily be construed as "good" or
01:01 "bad."
01:02 The moral of the story is that you don't need an expensive, restrictive program to
01:05 make healthier choices.
01:07 But if you can afford Noom and enjoy doing it, just remember to be aware of strictly
01:11 categorizing foods and know that weight loss isn't always synonymous with better health.
01:16 I hope this answered your questions and thanks for watching.
