U.S. News & World Reporthas ranked a program created byHealth Management Resources(HMR) and offered by HSHS St. Anthonys Memorial Hospital as the No.1Best Fast Weight-Loss Dietfor 2020. This marks the fifth consecutive year that HMRs diet and lifestyle-change program has held the first-place position.
Reputation of Rapid Weight Loss
Fast weight loss is often linked to gimmicks, crash diets, and other drastic approaches that are unsustainable and potentially unhealthy. In contrast, HMR achieves fast weight loss through a clinically proven plan that has been available in hospitals since 1983.
According to Brooke Welcher-Miner, registered dietitian and HMR program coordinator for HSHS St. Anthonys, HMRssimple plansare nutritionally complete, calorie-controlled, and designed to help people lose a lot of weight quickly without feeling hungry. She explains, Simplicity is key. We have people focus on just a few key variables that will have the biggest impact on weight and health. Because its so easy to follow, people can stick to the diet longer, which can lead to more weight loss in a short amount of time.
Weight Loss without Lifestyle Change is Temporary
Theres no payoff to losing weight quickly only to have it come back again, says Welcher-Miner. Thats why lifestyle-change education is at the core of all HMR diet plans. HMR uses the science of behavior change to help people create new habits around healthier eating and increasing daily physical activity in ways that fit into their daily lives over the long term.
