Proven Strategies for Weight Loss
Three behaviors produce the most successful weight-loss and maintenance results for dieters. Each of these is well supported by hundreds of research studies — including published data from leading medical, nutritional and other health care professionals — as well as HMR’s own data. HMR® has simplified and structured its programs so that it is very clear about the three things you need to do to be successful:
 |
Use Meal Replacements: Over 60 published studies and references conclude that, on average, dieters using meal replacements (portion-controlled, low-calorie meals like HMR Shakes, Soup, Entrees, Multigrain Hot Cereal, and Nutrition Bars) lose and maintain more than three times as much weight than those on traditional diets. No published studies have shown any diet to be more effective than one involving meal replacements. The more structured the diet, the fewer decisions to make and the greater the weight loss. |
 |
Eat Fruits and Vegetables: Eating more fruits and vegetables, which are naturally low in calories, help to displace higher calorie foods from a diet. When you combine vegetables and fruits 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. Walking is the favorite activity of most HMR participants – it is easy to do, does not require any special equipment (except good walking shoes) and can be done just about anywhere. |
HMR has found these additional behaviors increase your success in weight management:
 |
Quick Start®: Contrary to what many believe, research shows that it is actually better to lose weight quickly, especially when you are starting your diet. Faster weight loss upfront is more motivating, helping you stay on your diet longer and continue losing weight. You can get a "quick start" by closely following the HMR diet as recommended. |
 |
More is Better™: While it may sound counterintuitive, the more meal replacements, fruits, and vegetables you eat, the more weight you will lose and the more you will keep off! If you fill up on low-calorie foods, you are less likely to eat higher calorie foods that result in weight gain. |
