Noom now available for free through well-being program

Noom is one of the new free tools offered to employees through the Virgin Pulse well-being program.

Download the app or log in to the website to learn how food chemistry, brain function, psychology and a progress-not-perfection approach helps you eat healthier and gradually lose weight.

After you answer a few questions, Noom creates a plan based on what you’d like to accomplish and the number of minutes you decide to spend learning each day either reading or listening to audio lessons.

The sessions are filled with tips and tricks, easy-to-understand science lessons and as much (or little) interaction as you’d like. Noom does recommend daily weigh-ins, but it’s not required to use the program.

Use either the app or website to get:

• Short articles and lessons
• Nudges, quizzes and reminders
• Recipes
• Peer group support
• Personal coaching

You can also connect Noom to your current devices and tracking tools such as Fitbit, Polar, OneTouch, Health and others.
