Nearly all of us have had to deal with a big change to our daily routine this year. Most of us who were working an office job in early spring are now working from home indefinitely, while many others have had to find a new path due to the unfortunate whirlwind of the pandemic. The lack of stability has been difficult to handle at times, and the sudden shift in lifestyle has screwed up everything from our sleeping schedule to our eating habits.
Health and wellness have especially become a big concern over the past few months. Staying at home means you’re probably not getting as many steps in as you used to, while access to the gym is cut off and access to snacks is amplified. We see nothing wrong with having to set a weight loss journey aside while dealing with the struggles this year has brought, but if you’re feeling ready to get back on track, or simply need some motivation to get there, Noom is just the thing to help. No going out necessary!

One popular weight loss method that’s been picking up steam over the past few years is intermittent fasting. If you were giving it a shot before the lockdown, there’s a good chance the sudden routine change messed with your diet. Even waking up an hour later than normal could’ve created serious obstacles. Intermittent fasting can be hard to do at home, but it can also be rewarding — just ask all of the celebs who have spoken highly of it, like Jennifer Aniston, Kourtney Kardashian, Halle Berry and even Hugh Jackman. A-listers may have nutritionists and trainers, but we can have Noom show Us the way!

One well-known method of intermittent fasting is the 16/8 method, which means you consume all of your calories for the day within an eight-hour period and fast the rest of the time. Some also stick to only liquids in those remaining 16 hours. Others change it up with the Warrior method, which is starting the day with only small fruits and vegetables and eating a large meal in the evening. Noom can also help you figure out which type of plan will work best for you, as well as what types of food to eat to make fasting hours go by without any stomach rumbles. And if something doesn’t feel right? Your Goal Specialist will help you make adjustments until it does!
When intermittent fasting works, it may result in a happier demeanor, increased metabolism and fewer stomachaches — not to mention weight loss. And if you want to try something else? Not a problem. Noom is up for anything. Add in the food-tracking system, the community of users, the tips and tricks, the recipes and everything else and you’re looking at long-term success!
