The holidays are such a joyous time. Well, mostly. For some of us, the season can actually be a little unnerving, especially if we’re on a diet. Weight loss in December pretty much seems near impossible. It’s cold, keeping us indoors — something that’s even further escalated this year — and there are so many holiday treats to eat. Even if we don’t make them, our friends and family may be delivering them to our homes!
It’s definitely okay to treat yourself during the holidays, but the more off track you fall, the harder it can be to get back on. That’s why we recommend Noom as a guide to help you through this time, through your New Year’s resolutions and beyond. The app-driven health and wellness program is totally personalized for each person who signs up, ready to help you transform both your body and mind!

Last year, Noom’s blog listed out some steps everyone could take to have a happy and healthy holiday season. Things are obviously a little different this year, but many of the same challenges still remain. Luckily, all of Noom’s different facets, including one-on-one support from a Goal Specialist, are there to help you through!
The first step? Making a game plan. Figure out an alcohol limit for yourself, decide in advance to fill your plate with half veggies and set aside some of the goodies you’re baking to be given away. You’ll also want to keep track of which goals you achieve and which ones you miss every week so that you can adjust going forward — whether that means waking up 10 minutes earlier to go for a morning walk or changing up your breakfast to include more protein!
Another step is to create a contingency plan, for when the original plan is inevitably thrown for a loop. That means keeping frozen meals and veggies on hand and other healthy options so that if you miss an exercise or miss out on your meal prep time, you’ll have easy foods right there for you — meaning you won’t revert to high-calorie snacks instead.

Another thing to remember is to be honest with yourself. Dedicate yourself to keeping track of your meals, even if they end up going way over your calorie budget. And even if you couldn’t measure exactly what went into each dish, you can always guesstimate — and that will help you figure out what to do with the rest of your day.
The last thing to remember is to not beat yourself up. Unlike other diets, Noom isn’t so strict with rules. It recognizes that each person is just that — a person — and it’s okay to slip up sometimes. Just know you can pick yourself right back up and move forward on the right track again!
Now, these steps are pretty easy to understand, but actually implementing them can present a challenge. That’s why Noom is so helpful. Your Goal Specialist can really help flesh everything out for you, basing your plan on your own life, schedule, budget, goals and dietary needs. Sign up for a trial today and get ready to feel your best this holiday season!
