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 WorksUnlike 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:
2. Yellow Noom Foods List
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:
Here are some examples:
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:
Noom app does not offer specific recipes for weight loss. However, you have thousands of food options to make your recipe from as long as you stick to the calorie intake advice given by your GS. This is also one of the reasons that make Noom highly popular as you don't have to stick to any specific Noom recipe. Once you are into the program, you'll start making the best choice to suit your needs and taste buds. The color coding system makes the process of choosing food items easy and convenient.
