Over Christmas, my daughter encouraged me to try Noom. Much like MFP, it allows meal/calorie tracking, but it has a psychology component that I’ve never seen before. Rather than a diet, it attempts to get you to change your way of thinking and habits. Thus far, I’m down 14 pounds since Christmas. I know that rate of loss is not sustainable, but I’m happy with it to this point. Other than Noom, I’m trying to ride more consistently (every day so far and only one day under 10 miles.) Tracking everything I put in my mouth has made me much more aware of all the snacking I did without thinking about it. It has also made me consider if I really want/need something to eat or if I’m just bored. Lastly, it has made me more aware of how often I ate multiple portions without considering it. I like that Noom considers that you will still have cravings and can fulfill them on an occasional basis without falling off the wagon and being run over.
If you want to try Noom, it is essentially free for two weeks. When you initially sign up, use the code EMAIL99 and it will offer you a full year at ~$150. IF you decide it’s not for you, quit in two weeks and get a full refund or a prorated refund after that.

What are all yall’s strategies? I’m using myfitnesspal to count macros. Oh and I’m weighing my food. I’m off to a decent start so far but I feel off the wagon a bit tonight. I had a hot chicken sammy and fries from the new restaurant around the corner Wooboi.
Anyone doing intermittent fasting? What about something unusual like a cabbage diet?
