Health Management Resources packages a variety of foods to help people meet their weight loss goals. The food is packaged in single-serving quantities according to type and serving size. The purpose of the prepackaging is to allow the consumer to quickly identify which item is appropriate for consumption with another HMR item. The foods are rated on a scale of one to 10. The calorie content determines each item's scale position, with lower-calorie foods nearer to the one. Although it is possible to substitute HMR foods with each other, the scale system was developed to make the diet plan easy to maintain.
Substitute HMR Diet Foods
Step 1
Identify the meal you wish to eat.
Step 2
Assemble the list of foods in the meal plan.
Step 3
Identify the food you choose to avoid.
Step 4
Look at the scale to find out which number the food is.
Step 5
Choose another food that is complementary to the meal and that you also want to eat.
Step 6
Ensure it has the same or close number to the undesired food.
Step 7
Review the ingredient list of the undesired HMR food.
Step 8
Compare the ingredients to the replacement HMR food. These values also should be similar to keep a balanced diet.
Step 9
When you identify the food that matches the values, you have found a proper substitution.
Tips and Warnings
- You also can add natural foods, such as fruits and vegetables, in place of an HMR food. Choosing foods with values one through six will allow you to eat fewer calories. Exercising is an option with the plan as a way to burn more calories as you take in fewer calories. If you want to substitute a shake flavor, you may simply purchase a low-calorie flavoring packet and add it to HMR's shake. This allows for endless possibilities for shake flavor replacements.
- Making too many changes can create a complicated meal plan that is unlikely to be followed. Substituting your HMR food with a processed food from an outside source could hinder your health management plan. The Health Management Resource foods are specially prepared and packaged to avoid the need for preservatives, artificial flavors and other artificial ingredients. Substitute one item in the meal plan for another but do not combine two meals into one. The serving sizes are prepackaged to accommodate for a single serving per person per meal. Combining two meals will put your health management plan off balance.
