#32 Diet culture in disguise: Noom [& is their new mood app for anxiety any better?] Part 1.

You’ve probably seen the ads for the app Noom. They claim it’s “not a diet” but Noom is very much immersed in diet culture — and it is very much a diet. In this episode of Behind the Binge, I’m taking a deep dive into Noom, some of the “science” behind it, and the 2 apps they have now; for weight loss and anxiety... So why am  I talking about diets and weight loss apps?  One of the main reasons I want to dive into this was I received an ad from Noom claiming to help me overcome my anxiety in just 16 weeks….um WHAT?! So, I went undercover to find out the real truth and I’m sharing that with you! Listen in to learn more:  Noom’s weight loss app and some of the misinformation about their claims.
