HMR Review

The HMR weight program is associated with a hospital near where I live although the program is available nation wide.  There are several different types of programs: a quicker weight loss program using shakes and meal replacements; a Healthy Solutions program that also allows fruits and vegetables, and a maintenance program to learn how to maintain your weightloss long term but can also be used to lose weight in a less restricted environment than the weight loss programs.  Weekly classes give attendees helpful ideas about eating, recipes, support and accountability.  The most restrictive program and the Healthy Solutions program both require weekly minimum purchases of HMR meal replacement products to be part of the program.  The Maintenace program does not. HMR is a very effective program when followed and learning to eat the minumum of fruits and vegetables per day instead of other less healthy food helps.  Their attitude is "more is better" in that you can have as much as you want of the meal replacements and fruits and vegetables and still lose weight on it.  This program is a little expensive, though, with attendance fees and required minimum purchases of their meal replacements.  People in the faster weight loss programs are required to complete medical tests before starting and have their blood pressure and medications monitored while on the program, too.
