CLINIC PROGRAMS (Health Management Resources – HMR)

  • Decision–Free Diet – Medically supervised low- or very low- calorie diet promotes rapid and significant weight loss under medical supervision.  Ideal for those who need to lose 30 pounds or more, or for those whose health requires medical monitoring.  Average weight loss is 50-60 pounds* (A 2007 published study showed many patients lost more than 100 pounds with significant reductions in medical risk factors and medications).

  • Healthy Solutions Diet – Moderate diet offered with or without medical supervision.  Average weight loss is 35-40 pounds.

All Clinic Programs Offer:

  • Weekly Classes with Individual Coaching:  Specific “how-to’s” of weight loss are taught, including easy ways to lower fat and calories, as well as simple strategies to add physical activity and more fruits and vegetables into the daily routine.  Participants keep simple records and use their own data to create weekly goals which they share with their health educator.  Through this close “coaching relationship,” participants learn to manage their weight within a structure of personal accountability and follow up.

  • Maintenance: After the weight-loss phase, participants attend weekly groups where they continue to receive support while practicing simple strategies for successful long-term weight management.

HOME PROGRAM

  • HMR at Home Diet Kits - Convenient kits include HMR weight-loss foods and comprehensive support materials for at-home dieting.  Available with or without additional phone support.  A recent study showed HMR at Home clients with phone support lost more than 28 pounds.* (HMR data published or presented at medical conferences)
