The LIFT Wellness Center is offering a new weight management program created by HMR Weight Management Services.

HMR is a highly-structured diet and lifestyle program. For the second year in a row, HMR was named No. 1 Best Fast Weight-Loss Diet in the 2017 Best Diets rankings by U.S. News and World Report, according to a press release issued by the LIFT Wellness Center.

We decided to offer the HMR Program at LIFT Wellness Center because HMR has years of experience helping thousands of individuals lose weight and keep it off, Director at LIFT Wellness Center Miki Martin said in the release.The program works because it is based on clinical research, lifestyle change and putting the patient first.

HMR focuses on three aspects of weight-loss and weight maintenance: how to make healthy food choices, how to eat more fruits and vegetables and how to increase physical activity, the release notes.

Participants in the program will not only see their weight drop, but most likely will also see a decrease in the amount of medications they have to take for high blood pressure, diabetes or other health issues, Program Manager Betty Kay Williams said in an interview on Friday.

Really more than anything, its a lifestyle change, Williams said.

There will be two free information sessions about HMR at LIFT Wellness Center at 5:30 p.m. Monday and Tuesday.

HMRs highly structured diet and lifestyle change program is designed to help people lose weight quickly while learning the skills they need to keep it off, LIFT Weight Management and HMR Program Medical Director Dr. Joel Levien said in the release. Fast weight loss without lifestyle change isnt sustainable. Through the HMR Program at LIFT Wellness Center, people learn realistic ways to incorporate new healthy behaviors into their everyday lives.

Even though HMR is a group program, it is still individualized. A nurse and nurse practitioner are on staff to help customize specific wellness plans for each person, Williams said.

To register for either information session, call (731-425) 6820 or email HMRLiftCenter@wth.org.
