HMR® Introduces the Company's First Multigrain Weight-loss Cereal

(October, 2007) HMR recently added its much anticipated multigrain hot cereal to its extensive line of diet foods. With a unique blend of three whole grains and dried fruit, plus added protein, vitamins, and minerals, the new HMR Multigrain Hot Cereal has a nutrition profile superior to any other commercially available oatmeal.

“As the most requested item from past and current participants in the HMR weight-loss program, the hot cereal will no doubt become a new diet favorite for those looking to better manage their weight, while adding whole grains for improving their health at the same time,” states Christine Weithman, MBA, RD, LDN, Director of Nutrition Services and Product Development for HMR.

The new HMR Multigrain Hot Cereal is made with a hearty blend of oats, wheat, and corn, nonfat milk, and a measured portion of dried currants, cranberries, and apple to provide natural sweetness and texture.  The result is a satisfying and delicious cereal that has received widespread appeal in HMR taste tests, even among those who have not traditionally liked other hot cereals.

There are several ways that the HMR Multigrain Hot Cereal is different from other prepackaged oatmeals. Nutritionally, the cereal is superior to any prepackaged oatmeal. The cereal is just 210 calories, yet provides 10 grams of protein, 250 mg of calcium and 25% of the Daily Value for most vitamins and minerals in each serving.  Plus, the HMR cereal is a larger portion size than other prepackaged cereals and therefore more filling and more likely to displace other higher-calorie foods.  (People often find one packet of commercially available instant hot cereal to be a small serving, and may use two or three packets for one meal.)  

Ms. Weithman says, “When you use any HMR meal replacement (an HMR Shake, Entree, Pudding, BeneFit^® Bar, or Chicken Soup) as part of HMR’s highly structured program, you will have greater success on your diet.”  She adds, “All HMR meal replacements can help you lose weight and maintain your weight loss because they are low-calorie, portion-controlled, and nutritious.  Now, with this hot cereal, people have a whole grain meal replacement option.”
