Proven Ways to Lose Weight

The lifestyle behaviors taught in HMR® Program* are well supported by research from leading medical and other professional journals, as well as HMR’s own data.HMR has simplified and structured its programs so that you can lose more weight and maintain the weight loss. The program focuses on the three things you need to do to be successful:

  • Use Meal Replacements: Over 60 published studies and references conclude that, on average, three times as much weight is lost and maintained using meal replacements, compared with traditional diets. HMR meal replacements are delicious, low calorie shakes, meals, nutrition bars, soups, pudding,and multigrain hot cereal that are used in place of other meals and snacks.
  • Eat Fruits and Vegetables: Research has shown that eating fruits and vegetables, which are naturally low in calories, helps to displace higher-calorie foods from a diet. When vegetables and fruits are mixed with HMR meal replacements, the result is a satisfying, filling, and extremely nutritious meal.
  • Do Physical Activity: Physical activity is essential for successful weight management, especially long-term. People who are active feel better, are healthier, and are usually more motivated to practice other healthy lifestyle behaviors.

* The HMR Program is not typically covered by health insurance. This program is recommended for adults only.
