Thanksgiving Doesn’t Have to Be Where Diets Go to Die

If you feel like your Great Aunt Mildred bringing two types of pie and a pumpkin loaf is a personal attack, you may need Noom.

For those on diets, Thanksgiving can seem like a minefield. Dodge the sugary cranberry sauce; duck the buttery mashed potatoes; don’t even look at the (multiple!) pies. You could feel like you’re walking a tightrope, refusing to partake in the holiday for the fear that one bite of baked brie will trigger an avalanche of indulging in all the foods you’ve been avoiding.

This all-or-nothing mindset isn’t helpful, and it’s thought patterns like these that health app Noom wants to change. Instead of ultra strict guidelines (and the self flagellation that occurs when you inevitably can no longer maintain those guidelines), Noom is about identifying the psychology that causes your unhealthy habits and replacing those negative chains with healthier ones instead. 

If you want to go into Thanksgiving fully armed, sign up for a free trial of Noom today. You’ll get a personalized plan for tackling your unique thought patterns so you can make healthy choices that are right for you–cause one-size-fits-all never really fits. | Get Started at Noom >
