of the older-used ways to lose weight and one of the newest. diet pills have been around for decades and remain one of the most common weight-loss choices. noom, however, is a relative newbie to the game bringing the power of psychology.<\/p>\n<p>let&#8217;s see what our researchers found out about each of these weight-loss options.<\/p>\n<h2>what is noom?<\/h2>\n<p>noom is a groundbreaking weight-loss app that promotes healthy living through diet and exercise. noom partnered with psychologists, nutritionists, and fitness experts to create a well-rounded weight-loss plan. by changing the way their brains work, noom users lose weight and keep the weight off.<\/p>\n<p>the noom app simplifies food logging with a color-coded classification system, tracks daily physical activity, and provides education to help users make better lifestyle choices.<\/p>\n<p>noom also provides members with an unprecedented level of support. every noom subscriber is matched with a personal coach to help them meet their weight-loss goals.<\/p>\n<h2>what are diet pills?<\/h2>\n<p>diet pills are a natural or medicinal way to lose weight. there are two main types of over-the-counter diet pills on the market: non-prescription diet pills and dietary supplements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>non-prescription diet pills<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>non-prescription diet pills are available over-the-counter. the drug companies that market and produce these weight-loss aids must adhere to regulations put in place by the food and drug administration. clinical trials are used to test the safety and efficacy of these products. orlistat, also known as alli, is one of the most popular over-the-counter weight-loss pills with fda approval.<\/p>\n<p><strong>dietary supplements<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>dietary supplements are not regulated by the food and drug administration. supplement makers are not allowed to make unproven claims regarding their products. still, many use vague references to existing studies to bypass the law. the food and drug administration will investigate complaints and has removed dozens of products from shelves after users experienced serious side effects.<\/p>\n<p>popular dietary supplements include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>caffeine<\/li>\n<li>garcinia cambogia<\/li>\n<li>green tea extract<\/li>\n<li>raspberry ketones<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>there are several prescription medications approved for weight loss in the united states. most are designed to work for people who are considered morbidly obese.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text-muted text-uppercase jump-target\" style=\"margin-bottom: -30px;margin-top: 40px;font-size: 0.85em; color: #aaa\" id=\"jump-history\">history<\/div><h2>noom vs. diet pills &#8211; history<\/h2>\n<h3>brief history of noom<\/h3>\n<p>noom was founded in 2008, and the app received critical acclaim when it was launched in 2016. in the four years since the app was made available to the public, 50 million users logged on to the sustainable weight-loss program.<\/p>\n<p>noom is dedicated to using the power of science to change lives. in 2019, noom added more than 1,000 new coaches and joined forces with novo nordisk to fight obesity on a global level.<\/p>\n<p>the centers for disease control lists noom as an <a href=\"https:\/\/nccd.cdc.gov\/ddt_dprp\/city.aspx?state=oth&amp;city=oth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>approved lifestyle change program<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>we truly believe making lifestyle changes is the best path to lasting weight loss. noom is available as a <a href=\"https:\/\/noom.8utb.net\/c\/1720052\/500038\/8591\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>free trial offer<\/strong><\/a> for dietspotlight readers to see what the psychology-based program is all about.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>brief history of diet pills<\/h3>\n<p>diet pills gained popularity in the 19th century when beauty standards shifted towards a slimmer look, particularly in women. the first diet supplements contained a thyroid extract that boosted metabolism. the pills were effective, but they caused severe side effects, including irregular heartbeat, tremors and other severe health problems.<\/p>\n<p>dinitrophenol was a popular thermogenic weight-loss aid in the 1930s. after several users succumbed to drug-induced hyperthermia, new laws were passed to give the food and drug administration the ability to police dangerous supplements. dinitrophenol was banned in the united states.<\/p>\n<p>the use of amphetamines for weight loss skyrocketed in the 1950s after soldiers admitted that they were given stimulants to keep them awake during deployment. amphetamines are an appetite suppressant, but they also lead to addiction and adverse reactions.<\/p>\n<p>ephedra has been used around the world to treat obesity since the 1970s. in 1994, the dietary supplement health and education act gave drug manufacturers permission to sell ephedra-based supplements without fda approval. the fda finally banned ephedra in 2003 after more than 16,000 adverse reactions were reported. it was the first time in history that the fda banned an herbal supplement.<\/p>\n<h2>noom vs. diet pills &#8211; who&#8217;s behind the plan?<\/h2>\n<h3>who created noom?<\/h3>\n<p>noom is the brainchild of artem petakov and saeju jeong. petakov and jeong are tech experts and best friends determined to change the way the world looks at weight loss. petakov was born in ukraine, and jeong was born in south korea, but both men are now based in the united states.<\/p>\n<p>artem petakov is a computer scientist with ties to both google and microsoft. he was educated at princeton university and is a known chess prodigy.<\/p>\n<p>saeju jeong is an electronics engineer. he attended hongik university in seoul and still sits on the board of korea&#8217;s largest private hospital. he is also a member of the south korean ministry of science and technology committee.<\/p>\n<h3>who created diet pills?<\/h3>\n<p>a greek physician named soranus of ephesus is credited with first using medication for weight loss. he prescribed purgatives and laxatives to patients who were considered overweight in the second century.<\/p>\n<p>laxatives and purgatives remained the go-to obesity treatment for thousands of years until new treatments were discovered in the late 1920s.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text-muted text-uppercase jump-target\" style=\"margin-bottom: -30px;margin-top: 40px;font-size: 0.85em; color: #aaa\" id=\"jump-rules\">rules<\/div><h2>noom vs. diet pills &#8211; the rules<\/h2>\n<h3>rules of noom<\/h3>\n<p>noom users aren&#8217;t restricted by rules. instead, they&#8217;re encouraged to make choices that help them lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle. noom relies on the principles of psychology to curb bad habits and reinforce positive behavior.<\/p>\n<p>there are three main aspects of noom: fitness tracking, food logging, and education.<\/p>\n<p><strong>fitness tracking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>noom has a unique take on fitness tracking. it&#8217;s difficult to estimate how much exercise you get in a day. most people overestimate the intensity of their workout, and it can seem like you worked out longer than you did. so, noom&#8217;s fitness tracker takes human error into account.<\/p>\n<p>every person who follows the noom protocol will have a daily calorie goal. an average target for women is 1,500 calories a day. if you work out for 30 minutes, you&#8217;ll burn about 300 calories. noom adds 50% of those calories to your daily calorie goal. you can then eat 1,650 calories that day and still lose weight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>food logging<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>people fail at food logging because it&#8217;s a hassle to keep up with. noom simplifies what was once a confusing concept by using three color-coded categories. users enter the foods they eat into the app, and noom categorizes the food as a green food, yellow food, or red food.<\/p>\n<p>green foods hold the most nutritional value and make up 30% of your daily calories. yellow foods are mainly protein sources and grains, along with low-fat dairy and make up 45% of your daily calories. red foods are snack foods and sugary beverages &#8211; stick at or below 25% of daily calories from red foods.<\/p>\n<p><strong>education<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>noom wants users to make changes that will last a lifetime. subscribers are encouraged to spend ten minutes a day learning how to make better choices. noom&#8217;s educational lessons go beyond diet and exercise. users will learn healthy ways to cope with stress, establish healthier behaviors, and deal with situations that trigger negative behavior.<\/p>\n<h3>rules of diet pills<\/h3>\n<p>diet pills will not help you magically lose weight. they are intended to work alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise.<\/p>\n<p>the first rule of losing weight involves creating a calorie deficit. the human body requires a specific number of calories to maintain its current weight. this number varies from person to person. consuming fewer calories than the body needs creates a calorie deficit. burning calories through physical activity also creates a calorie deficit. it makes sense that combining exercise and a healthy diet leads to faster weight loss.<\/p>\n<p>always increase your daily water intake when taking any supplements. many supplements have a diuretic effect that can lead to dehydration. drinking water can also reduce hunger and increase satiety.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text-muted text-uppercase jump-target\" style=\"margin-bottom: -30px;margin-top: 40px;font-size: 0.85em; color: #aaa\" id=\"jump-eating-plans\">eating plans<\/div><h2>noom vs. diet pills &#8211; eating plans<\/h2>\n<h3>the noom eating plan<\/h3>\n<p>noom users are not required to follow a strict eating plan. noom relies on psychology to condition users to make better choices over time. when you use noom&#8217;s food logging tool, you&#8217;ll enter the foods you ate that day. you can also use your phone to scan the barcode on food packaging. noom gives you the nutrition facts and classifies the food as green, yellow, or red.<\/p>\n<p><strong>green foods<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>green foods are healthy, low in added sugars and fat, and highly nutritious. noom&#8217;s programs encourage eating green foods and replacing unhealthy snacks with foods that fall into this category.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>peaches<\/li>\n<li>lettuce<\/li>\n<li>asparagus<\/li>\n<li>green beans<\/li>\n<li>spinach<\/li>\n<li>onion<\/li>\n<li>almond milk<\/li>\n<li>strawberries<\/li>\n<li>egg

healthy, but they are higher in calories than green foods. eat them in moderation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>lean meat<\/li>\n<li>grilled skinless chicken<\/li>\n<li>fresh tuna<\/li>\n<li>turkey breast<\/li>\n<li>low-fat cheese<\/li>\n<li>low-fat milk<\/li>\n<li>beans<\/li>\n<li>avocados<\/li>\n<li>canned pineapple<\/li>\n<li>olives<\/li>\n<li>eggs<\/li>\n<li>figs<\/li>\n<li>rice (wild,

calories, fat, and sugar. these foods can be enjoyed as a treat, but try to replace them with green or yellow ones.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ham<\/li>\n<li>salami<\/li>\n<li>bacon<\/li>\n<li>fried

while following almost any eating plan. nutrition experts recommend a balanced diet of fresh fruit, vegetables, lean meats and whole grains. avoiding carbohydrates, fatty foods and fried foods can jumpstart your weight-loss journey.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">noom doesn&#8217;t suggest avoiding any foods &#8211; that&#8217;s just not how lasting weight loss happens. instead, users are taught how to choose the healthiest foods in a way that makes it feel natural. take a closer look at this novel program with a <a

&#8211; plan duration<\/h2>\n<h3>how long does noom last?<\/h3>\n<p>noom offers two programs: the diabetes prevention program and the healthy weight program. the diabetes prevention program is a 24-week program. the healthy weight program lasts for a minimum of 16 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>subscribers can continue to use noom for weight maintenance after they complete either program.<\/p>\n<p>a noom subscription costs $59 a month, but you can save money by purchasing an annual membership for $17 a month.<\/p>\n<h3>how long do you take diet pills?<\/h3>\n<p>most diet pills are sold as a 30-day, 60-day or 90-day supply. follow the directions on the diet pill packaging carefully. not all diet pills are safe for long-term use.<\/p>\n<h2>significant differences between noom and diet pills<\/h2>\n<p>noom uses lifestyle changes to promote weight loss. the app aims to teach the user how to live in a way that naturally leads to losing weight with food, exercise and self-love.<\/p>\n<p>on the other hand, diet pills often attempt to target metabolism or hunger to help the user eat less and burn more without making any other lifestyle changes.<\/p>\n<h2>can you follow diet pills on noom?<\/h2>\n<p>yes, you can use diet pills while using the noom app. however, diet pills are not safe for everyone. always seek the advice of a healthcare provider before starting on a diet pill of any kind.<\/p>\n<h2>possible side effects of noom vs. diet pills<\/h2>\n<p>noom users don&#8217;t have to concern themselves with side effects. not only does noom not cause side effects, but most users also report experiencing increased energy and digestive regularity after following the program for a few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>however, when taking weight-loss drugs and dietary supplements can result in side effects. some of these effects are mild, but some can be serious.<\/p>\n<p>side effects will vary based on the diet pills you choose, but the most commonly reported side effects include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>upset stomach<\/li>\n<li>heartburn<\/li>\n<li>diarrhea<\/li>\n<li>mood swings<\/li>\n<li>rapid heart rate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"text-muted text-uppercase
