Health Management Resources

Health Management Resources, or HMR, creates weight loss management programmes for their clientele and sells products and services that support these goals. Founded in 1983 and headquartered in Boston, HMR provides medically managed weight loss programmes to many hospitals, medical practices, and medical schools throughout the USA. They also offer self-help weight loss programmes and services via their web-site for people who do not want to enrol in a clinic-based programme. They tout themselves as a lifestyle based programme, developed to teach participants ways to live more healthily. Their programme consists of three main elements: regular exercise, abundant fruit and vegetable intake, and the use of meal replacements for portion control. They also emphasize journaling or record-taking, since these are evidence-based technologies which have been proven effective in helping people to lose weight.
Several research studies have been conducted on the Health Management Resources programmes, and they have been proven successful at helping individuals lose weight. In fact, some of their successes include weight loss of 100 pounds or more.
HMR’s food options include microwavable entrees such as lasagne or turkey chilli, shakes and puddings, multigrain cereals, chicken soup, and BeneFit bars. Their pre-packaged options can be combined with fruits and vegetables to make a complete meal.
This is a proven, medically managed plan for weight loss, and most people will lose weight if they rigorously follow this plan. If you do not wish to purchase pre-packaged foods, or commit to regular exercise, and consistent food journaling, you will not be happy with this plan.
