What diet options are available?
Medically-Supervised Diet:
The medically supervised diet is specially designed for those who wish to lose 30 pounds or more. This option promotes significant weight loss under medical supervision, using only nutritionally complete HMR weight loss shakes and entrees instead of grocery store food. This is the easiest diet to follow, as it requires no decisions whatsoever about what to eat.
Healthy Solutions for Weight Loss™:
Healthy Solutions promotes slower, more moderate weight loss without medical supervision. This option uses nutritionally complete HMR weight loss shakes and entrees along with vegetables and fruits.
HMR at Home™:
HMR's new "phone-based" option allows you to participate in the HMR Program from home (or any other place you have a phone).
Custom Designed Diet:
This diet combines real food with or without HMR meal replacements in a program custom designed for your needs.
** All options provide 100% of adult nutritional requirements along with vitamins and minerals.
