Accelerate Weight Loss in 2022
By Joy Midkiff
Do you have a big weight loss goal ? Do you want to achieve your goal quickly , rather than slowly ? Instead of following a fad or crash diet , studies show that following a lifestyle change program that promotes fast initial weight loss leads to greater weight loss overall , and better long-term outcomes . For those looking for a fast , healthy weight loss option , the HMR Program may be the answer . U . S . News & World Report has ranked the program created by HMR ( Health Management Resources ) and offered by the Lighter Lifestyles Weight Management Program at Halifax Health as a Best Fast Weight Loss Diet for 2022 for the seventh consecutive year .
Motivation Matters - Jennifer K . joined the HMR plan and lost 110 pounds over the last 14 months . “ The weight came off quickly , which made it super motivating to stick to the plan . The more weeks I stayed on the plan , the more weight I was able to lose .”
According to Program Dietitian and Spokesperson Joy Midkiff , “ There ’ s nothing magical about the program to achieve fast weight loss .” She explains , “ No one goes hungry on the plan . If one is not feeling deprived , it ’ s easier to stay on the plan longer , which leads to more weight loss in a short period of time .”
Lifestyle Change is Non-Negotiable - Whether you lose weight quickly or slowly , making long-term lifestyle change is essential to maintain any weight loss , especially related to physical activity and eating more colorful vegetables and fruits . That ’ s why lifestyle change education and coaching is core to all HMR plans . The plan helps get the weight off quickly . As you ’ re losing weight , you ’ re learning and practicing new skills around healthier eating
and exercise . To learn more , visit halifaxhealth . org / HMR or call 386.425.4031 to set up a free and no obligation information session .
