Losing weight can help you live a longer life
Losing weight can help you live a longer life
"I have had several health issues related to heart disease and complications due to taking blood thinners," Harris said in a press release. "When I started the HMR program in May of 2015, I weighed 280 pounds. I lost 85 pounds initially and have maintained my weight loss after completing a year of phase 2."
Harris and his wife credit the HMR program for saving his life more than once. After losing the weight and getting back into shape, Harris underwent multiple heart and aneurism surgeries. Each time he had surgery he was told that, had he not been in such great shape, he would surely have died.
"Each time I had a surgery or procedure, a dietitian would come to talk with me," he said. "After hearing that I was already following the HMR program, the dietitian would say they couldn't tell me anything I didn't already know."
Today Harris is back to doing things he did years ago. He finds eating healthy is not difficult at all.
During Christmas this year he says he was able to enjoy foods others were eating, in moderation. Weighing daily, supplementing his diet with HMR products and exercising have helped him maintain.
"We even go out to eat with friends and find healthy choices on menus," Harris said. "Healthy food can taste good."
Harris is very happy that he made the "jump" to HMR. "It has helped me live a longer life doing what I like to do."
"Bob and his wife joined together, which was so beneficial for both of them," said Renee Trapp, nutrition educator, Marshfield Clinic HMR Weight Management program. "They followed the program 100 percent and made the most of it. They both were very successful transitioning through the phases of the program. They now eat a combination of home cooked foods along with a few HMR meal replacements and have maintained their weight and, most importantly, their health."
The HMR Program has been named a No. 1 Best Fast Weight-Loss Diet in U.S. News & World Report's Best Diets of 2018 rankings.
This marks the third year in a row HMR has achieved this ranking.
