What Is the Noom Diet?

Designed by behavioural psychologists, Noom diet plan targets your brain and works at psychological level to help you think in line with what is good for your weight loss and overall fitness. In fact, it will not be an exaggeration to say that it tricks your mind into making behavioural changes in your eating habits and patterns. As you start believing that healthy eating habits are good for you, chances of relapsing into your unhealthy habits is highly unlikely. Another good thing about Noom Diet is that this change doesn't happen overnight. It takes its own time, and make you develop those habits that keep you healthy, slim and fit in the long run.
Why Noom Diet Works

Unlike many other one-size-fits-all types of plans, Noom diet plan takes you as a unique person with unique eating habits and lifestyle, which is true. You need to answer a few questions based on your eating habits, current health conditions and medication, if any. The app checks your current caloric and other nutrient needs, and come up with a unique diet plan, keeping in mind your exact requirements and fat loss goal.

Colour based food list

Based on the analysis and volumetrics and calorie-density, Noom food list has been divided into 3 categories: green, yellow and red.

As you guessed it, green foods are those with highest concentration on nutrients, but with low calorie value. These are highly recommended for any Noom Dieter. In fact, this type of food is highly nutritious for anyone whether on this diet or not.

Noom separates foods into 3 categories ranked by caloric density, or how rich they are in water.

Green Noom Food : vegetables and whole grains, should make up the bulk of  your diet
Yellow Noom Food : lean meats and starches, should be incorporated in your diet in moderate portions
Red Noom Food : red meats and desserts dishes, should be eaten less and in smaller portions

1. Green Noom  Foods List


This is the list you want to focus most of your attention on. The foods in the green category are the least calorie-dense ones or contain a lot of other very healthy nutrients. 
As you would expect, these are predominantly vegetables, whole grains, some fruit, and berries as well as a few dairy products.
These are ideal foods to focus on throughout the day to fill you up and avoid the dreaded hunger pains. Here are some examples:
  • Lettuce
  • Onion
  • Green beans
  • Spinach
  • Broccoli
  • Brussel sprouts
  • Carrots
  • Tomatoes
  • Oranges
  • Blueberries
  • Cherries
  • Watermelon
  • Strawberries

  • Bananas
  • Almond milk
  • Low-fat yogurt

  • Egg whites
  • Oatmeal
  • Brown Rice
  • Whole grain bread
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Peas
  • Tofu

2. Yellow Noom Foods List

raw fish
This category is a bit more calorie-dense and you should only have a moderate amount of these in your diet. 
They are also slightly less beneficial from a nutritional perspective, so even though they might fill you up, you won’t get as many benefits out of them.
What’s great about the color coding is that you can search for a food group and then pick green instead of yellow ones. 
You’d be surprised how many substitutions you could make this way.
Here are some examples:
  • Lean meat
  • Fresh tuna
  • Turkey breast
  • Grilled skinless
  • Low-fat milk
  • Low-fat cheese
  • Avocados
  • Beans
  • Olives
  • Hummus
  • Couscous
  • Quinoa
  • Tempeh
  • Guacamole

3. Red Noom Foods List


These are the things you want to avoid or at least keep the portion size as small as possible. They are calorie-dense or have very little nutritional value. 
In many cases, it’s these that are keeping people from achieving their weight loss goals.
Here are some examples:
  • Ham
  • Fried meat
  • Bacon
  • Sausage
  • Salami
  • Pizza
  • Fries
  • Chocolate
  • Peanut Butter
  • Fruit Juice
  • Chips
  • Sugar
  • White flour
  • Wine
  • Hamburgers
  • Mayonnaise

When using a ketogenic diet, your body becomes more of a fat-burner than a carbohydrate-dependent machine. Several researches have linked the consumption of increased amounts of carbohydrates to development of several disorders such as diabetes and insulin resistance. By nature, carbohydrates are easily absorbable and therefore can be also be easily stored by the body. Digestion of carbohydrates starts right from the moment you put them into your mouth. As soon as you begin chewing them, amylase (the enzymes that digest carbohydrate) in your saliva is already at work acting on the carbohydrate-containing food. In the stomach, carbohydrates are further broken down. When they get into the small intestines, they are then absorbed into the bloodstream. On getting to the bloodstream, carbohydrates generally increase the blood sugar level. This increase in blood sugar level stimulates the immediate release of insulin into the bloodstream. The higher the increase in blood sugar level...
