HMR At Home

HMR At Home© is Health Management Resources healthy weight loss program, designed for self study. It involves no visits to health clinics, simply enrol in the program with a convenient provider, purchase meal replacement shakes, entrees and soup mixes online, have them delivered to your door (nationwide in the US), then follow the program for eating and exercise.

HMR has built a reputation over 20 years for providing high quality patient care along with weight loss results. Studies have shown that meal replacements such as HMR provide (shakes and entrees) are an effective tool for weight loss and ongoing weight maintenance (although they should not be considered a permanent way of life).

How HMR At Home works

The HMR At Home weight loss program follows the same approach as HMR's clinics nationwide - participants maintain a structured diet, keep records and share them with their weight loss coach on a weekly "accountability" call, as well as taking part in a weekly 45-minute facilitated group phone call for dieting support for the forthcoming week.

HMR Foods

Shakes, soups, and entrees range from 100 to 270 calories per serving, and can be combined with favorite fruits and vegetables for hearty meals. The plan provides a minimum of 1200 calories per day ensuring complete nutrition and including essential protein, vitamins and minerals.

An initial six-week “strong start” program is followed by additional four-week cycles as required for continued weight loss, then a minimum of three months of weight maintenance. Average weight loss of over 23 pounds or around 10% of initial body weight, can be expected in just under twelve weeks.

The daily eating plan comprises 3 shakes, 2 entrees, 5 servings of fruits & vegetables, 8 glasses of water plus snack bars.
