The HMR Program
The Health Management Resources (HMR) Program is another meal replacement diet. Behavioral psychologist Lawrence Stifler developed HMR in the ’80s to be medically guided and help people transition their lifestyle. Replacements include shakes, hot cereals, protein bars, and full meals.
Although HMR provides meals, its foods are highly processed and often filled with artificial sugars. Research in the Annals of Internal Medicine was unable to determine the results of HMR. However, they stated that extremely low-calorie diets might increase the risk of gallstones.
