[quote=Anonymous]Np here. I’ve lost 15 lbs in 3 months on Noom. I track my food daily and I don’t the coach (and paying) keep me accountable but I’m not sure how much longer I’ll do it.

I’ve liked the ideas for meal substations. You don’t really have to worry about the good colors - they’re just there to help you be aware that some things are more calorie dense than others. It’s similar to volumetrics which I tried years ago. I used a food scale and measured food for the first two weeks or so. Frankly I lost a LOT (5-6 lbs) right away. I stalled a bit in late June and went back to weighing my food for a few days and started losing weight again. I haven’t weighed food for a few weeks now and I’ve been losing slowly.

I like the recipe and meal ideas. I’ve found that foods that are a mix across the categories work best for me. So breakfast (for instance) is a banana-egg pancake with some oats and cinnamon added coined with a bit of oil. Or oatmeal with a teaspoon of peanut butter and a bunch of fruit. I still love eating ice cream but have found that sometimes frozen peaches with a little whipped cream is a good alternative. If I heat the peaches up and add a dab of whipped cream, some oats, and cinnamon it’s kind of the same texture and flavor profile as cobbler. Alternatively if I really want ice cream and have 100 calories left k just use my scale and figure out a portion that equates to 100 calories. I’ve gotten more used to smaller portions with time.

One catch in all this is I tend to not drink alcohol much and drink it even less now. It would be hard to hit the recommended number of calories and drink more often. Because it’s rare for me I can budget for it but I don’t think I could do that if it were a regular indulgence. [/quote]
