Published: Feb. 14, 2022, 6:01 a.m.

You\u2019ve probably seen the ads for the app Noom. They claim it\u2019s \u201cnot a diet\u201d but Noom is very much immersed in diet culture \u2014 and it is very much a diet.

\n

In this episode of Behind the Binge, I\u2019m taking a deep dive into Noom, some of the \u201cscience\u201d behind it, and the 2 apps they have now; for weight loss and anxiety...

\n

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\u2026.um WHAT?!
\n
\nSo, I went undercover to find out the real truth and I\u2019m sharing that with you!
