With a new year brings new opportunity for us to reach goals in our personal lives. Whatever your goal is and whatever your circumstances may be, uncertainty with where to begin can often prevent you from taking the first step in your journey. 

This is especially true when it comes to one of the most common New Year’s resolutions — losing weight. There are so many diet and exercise routines out there these days that it is completely understandable why people get overwhelmed and never achieve their goals.

If this sounds like you, consider this revolutionary approach that has transformed the lives of more than 500,000 people around the world: the Health Management Resources (HMR) Weight Management Program.

This program is easy, effective, and sustainable. It is designed to help you lose weight quickly and easily, all without the constant stress of food decisions or complicated meal prep. This nationally-recognized program focuses on achieving significant, lasting weight loss by simplifying your diet. With ready-to-eat meals and shakes that are both nutritious and delicious, the program removes the guesswork and complexity that often hinder successful weight loss.

How It Works

The program is based on two primary phases: Phase I, which focuses on initial weight loss, and Phase II, which helps you maintain your success through lifestyle changes.

Throughout Phase I, patients follow a structured meal replacement plan that is medically supervised by physicians and nurses. This phase is all about changing current eating habits and focusing on weight loss. Depending on each person’s individual goals and health needs, there are two options to choose from:

1. Decision-Free Diet – This promotes rapid weight loss by using only HMR shakes and entrees. It’s perfect for people who want to lose 30 pounds or more, or for people whose health requires medical monitoring.
2. Healthy Solutions Diet – This combines HMR shakes and entrees with fruits and vegetables, providing a balanced approach to weight loss.

Patients also have access to coaching and online support, ensuring they are never alone on their journey, as well as incorporating more physical activity into their daily life.

Once patients achieve their initial weight loss goals, they will then transition into Phase II, where the focus shifts to long-term weight loss success. Working closely with HMR health coaches, patients transition to a sustainable eating plan that includes balanced meals with lean proteins, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats. The goal is to adopt these new habits so they become part of the patient’s lifestyle, ensuring lasting weight management.
