The HMR® (Health Management Resources) Low Calorie and Very Low Calorie Diets (VLCD) are medically supervised weight-loss programs offered at the SSM Weight-Loss Institute. These programs are designed for people who want to lose a significant amount of weight (more than 30 pounds) in a short amount of time. We approach the task of weight-loss with a commitment that goes well beyond “traditional” dieting. Taken as directed, the diet provides 100% of the Daily Value for vitamins and minerals, so you can be confident you’re getting the nutrition you need.
Here are just a few of the ways we’re different from other programs:
- Physician supervision
- The amount of weight-loss possible
- The speed of weight-loss
- The depth of lifestyle education
- The level of personal attention
- The proven maintenance program
Studies show that the fewer decisions you have to make about what to eat, the more likely it is you will lose weight. With this weight-loss program, you won’t have to make any decisions about what to eat. You’ll lose weight using nutritionally complete, delicious HMR meal replacements (filling weight-loss shakes, soup, and entrees) instead of grocery store food. No complicated food lists. No extensive food preparation. No extra food shopping.
Currently, HMR has the most successful weight-loss and outcome data of any ongoing diet treatment program. HMR collects weight and health-related data from program participants across the country. What is the reason for this success? Losing and keeping weight off is an acquired skill, like learning to play an instrument or a new sport. The friendly, professional SSM Weight-Loss Institute physicians and health professionals will work closely with you as you learn these new skills in friendly, highly supportive classes.
