How many diets have you started? After that initial high where youre absolutely killing it, once you start thinking, Can I never have ice cream again?, how many diets have you stopped? Our culture puts a big emphasis on diets that centers nearly exclusively around what youre eating and how much. Of course, this is huge: any diet addresses the food youre eating. But why youre eating all the triggers besides hunger that cause you to graze is at the core of why diets succeed or fail.
Noom is an app that takes a holistic, mindful approach to healthy dieting.

They use tons of research to create game plans (not meal plans) that help you break bad habits, set actionable goals, and identify deeper motivations for dieting all of which help keep you pushing when the new-diet shine fades and you want to dive into a swimming pool filled with of mint chocolate chip mouth first.
