Episode 19: Starting to kick your unhelpful habit & monitoring progress for successful weight loss

Ep 22 - The Noom weight loss program in the UK: Is it any good?

Today we're looking into Noom for weight loss. See rangitoto.co.uk/kickstart [https://rangitoto.co.uk/kickstart] for my free, comprehensive guide to kickstarting your weight loss, if you want more general help.  There has been quite a bit of noise about the Noom diet program and lots of very positive results. It makes a big point about how its success is due to the fact that it focuses on the psychology of weight loss. This intrigued me, as my own view is that the only way that you will succeed with permanently losing your weight is to focus on changing your mind, rather than your body. Today we’ll look at how Noom works, what you can get out of it and how it could work for you in your weight loss journey. Find out how I got on with Noom (in the UK) and, more importantly, if I would recommend this for you to invest your money in. Stay tuned to find out the good, the bad and the ugly!

Ep 21: Omega 3 & 6 and weight loss: where they come from, what they do and how they affect your weight
