Taking a break from your current habits to lose significant weight soon after starting will motivate you to stay on track and keep going. So committing yourself fully to the diet is one of the key action steps you can take to lose the most weight as you start the diet.

Faster is Better
Seeing significant weight loss during the first week is incredibly motivating. We sometimes call this getting a “Quick Start.” When you lose that weight up front, you establish momentum that can help carry you through the rest of your weight-loss journey. In fact, research shows that those who lose more weight in the early weeks of a diet program are likely to lose more weight overall and that the early weight-loss momentum is associated with keeping weight off longer.(1)

It’s Your Opportunity to Take a Break
Phase 1 of any HMR plan requires a high level of structure, but remember, it’s time-limited. Some people find it helpful to think of it like a “special project” that allows them to take a break from old habits and routines. This makes it easier to stay committed to establishing healthy new ones. 

Commitment is everything
In today’s food culture, developing new healthy habits takes commitment and practice. The good news is you aren’t in this alone. HMR has helped hundreds of thousands of people reach their weight-loss goals and we are ready to help you every step along the way. We are committed to your long term success.
