Thanks for clearing up a little more on how Noom works-so there are different "colors" of foods and you can consume foods appropriately as directed according to their "color"?
Are any foods off-limits?
Also, does Noom decide your calorie range? 1200 seems super low.
I've done WW for years, and have been curious of the Noom plan but it seems as though they won't tell you any details unless you pay for it first.
Also, yeah, ignore Vision. They only seem to think there is one way to lose weight-their way or the highway.
There are doctors who have more degrees and experience that will agree with what I've posted because it has been proven. So go ahead and ignore what these doctors are saying. There's nothing good from eating gluten. It's been proven to cause inflammation.
You are 5'8" and consuming just ~1,300 calories while doing some walking.
How exactly are you managing your hunger?
Do you split the hunger evenly between multiple meals?
How often do you have a very intense hunger in a month?
I really do not have a big problem with intense hunger. Perhaps, only a couple of times per month.
I have a somewhat unusual situation. Since, I am retired and high risk, I only leave the house to walk & have essential doctor's appointments (during the pandemic) & occasionally pick up prescriptions (or similar contact less outings). Obviously, that is somewhat boring. So, I've gotten into the bad habit of going to bed at 10:30 (my usual time) and sleeping until 9:00 to 9:30 AM (sometimes even later). During early retirement, I used to be up by 8 AM, dressed and finished my coffee and a two mile walk by the time that I am now waking up. Before I retired, I often got up at 5:30 or 6 AM, made coffee, walked the dog, took a shower & dressed for work (depending on the day, I had to be there at 7 AM, 7:30 AM or 8 AM).
Since I sleep so late, by the time that I get out of bed and have a few cups of coffee I have a light breakfast between 10:30 AM and Noon. So, in some ways it is like intermittent fasting as I try to eat my last meal by 7:30 PM. I may have a snack later, but try not to eat a lot within a couple of hours of bedtime.
If I am somewhat hungry, and it is not time for a meal, I may have a snack of raw vegetables or fresh fruit. Or, I have a cup of decaf coffee or hot Sugar Free Alpine Spiced Apple Cider (10 calories) or Swiss Miss Reduced Calorie Hot Cocoa Mix (40 calories).
I really try to "make the most" out of each calorie. I switched to fat free salad dressing (and use less than before) and ground turkey or chicken or tuna (packed in water) rather than ground beef. I enjoy roasted vegetables. I used to toss the raw vegetables with three Tablespoons of olive oil (358 calories) and spices and then roast them. When I started dieting I first did it with two Tablespoons of oil, but still too many calories. Then, I started to spread one Tablespoon of olive oil & spices directly on the roasting pan. After a week or two of doing that I decided to just roast the fresh vegetables with spices and zero oil and it worked. Yes, it tastes different than roasted vegetables with oil, but they are still pretty tasty.
Sugar is the same but you lose the fiber when you juice.
