The HMR Diet Can Help You Lose Weight Fast—but Is It Safe? A Nutritionist Weighs In
https://ift.tt/2NnYqq8 There are countless weight-loss plans to choose from, but the simple truth is this: What works for one person just may not click for another. Some people need a plan with lots of choices and variety, or one that allows them to cook. Others prefer an ultra-streamlined approach, in which all of the food is provided and options are minimized. If you’re in the latter group, one program to consider is HMR, which stands for Health Management Resources. Here's how to follow HMR, the number of calories and types of foods you're allowed, and my thoughts as a registered dietitian nutritionist as to whether it's safe, healthy, and can result in long-term weight loss. RELATED: The Best Diets of 2019—and Why the Keto Diet Ranked So Low How to follow the HMR dietU.S. News and World Report ranked HMR the number one diet for fast weight loss. The company’s simple 3+2+5 Healthy Solutions plan includes 3 shakes per day and 2 pre-made meals (which you purchase from HMR) and 5 daily servings of fruits and vegetables that you supply yourself. The structured approach also recommends daily tracking using the HMR app, and incorporating physical activity, such as a few daily walks. Participants typically lose 23 pounds on average within 12 weeks. The company also offers an even lower calorie medically supervised option, which can result in significantly greater weight loss for obese people. (More on this below.) The plan provides roughly 1,200 calories a day, and a starter kit that contains three weeks worth of meals costs about $300. However, this phase is designed to last until you hit your goal, which may take much longer. The program also includes support, via the app, and weekly group phone sessions led by a “health coach” who offers cheerleading and problem solving. The goal is to transition to a maintenance plan, which reduces the reliance on HMR foods and teaches healthy lifestyle skills, including meal planning and prep, plus how to navigate social situations while you're trying to lose weight. RELATED: Dieters Who Follow This Popular Plan Lose Weight by Eating More. Here's How It Works The benefits of HMRIn all of my years counseling clients, I have learned that it’s important to know your personality in order to determine if any particular approach is doable and sustainable for you. Both ultimately determine a successful (or disastrous) outcome, as well how you’ll feel emotionally as you’re shedding pounds. For example, if fewer choices make you feel restricted and trigger cravings, a plan like HMR isn’t the best choice. But if you’re the type of person who thrives on structure and repetition, and you feel freed by not having to make decisions about what and how much to eat, an approach like this may work well. And if you need to see some quick weight loss in order to build momentum and boost your motivation to transition to a longer term healthy eating pattern, a ready-to-eat approach may fit. RELATED: This Diet Could Cut Your Risk of Dementia, Heart Disease, and Cancer—and Help You Lose Weight, Too Drawbacks to know aboutThere are few things I don’t like about HMR, however. My number one issue is the ingredients. The shakes contain the artificial sweetener saccharin and artificial flavor, and they are dairy and egg-based. I did not see an option for those with dairy or egg allergies or sensitivities on the HMR site. Also, the entrees are shelf stable (not frozen) and highly processed. While some are better than others, I did spot ingredients like carrageenan, which has been linked to inflammation, as well as preservatives and soy, another common allergen. My other red flag concerns long-term results. While I appreciate the fact that the program emphasizes produce from day one, supplies group support, and teaches lifestyle changes, I’ve seen people use these types of programs as quick fixes before rebounding right back to old habits. There doesn’t seem to be solid data on how HMR participants do at keeping weight off for good. One study, which looked at the very low calorie diet (VLCD) HMR option, was unable to determine outcomes past one year. Researchers also noted some risks associated with very VLCD approaches, including constipation and gallstones. The latter may be three times more common in VLCDs compared to more traditional low calorie approaches. Finally, HMR or any plan like it is challenging when socializing. Dining out is pretty much off limits in phase one, and getting through holidays and special occasions can be difficult—not just for the dieter but also for friends and family. Should you try the HMR diet?Before spending money and committing to any diet, have a heart to heart with yourself. Imagine not the weight loss but your daily life following a certain plan. How do you think you’ll feel physically, emotionally, and socially—even if you are losing weight? Can you picture yourself realistically sticking to the program and feeling excited about it two weeks, four weeks, and six weeks in? Ultimately to see success with HMR, you will need to focus on lifestyle changes. For many people it may be best to simply start there, accept a slower rate of weight loss, and foster healthy habits that have real stick-with-it-ness.

I Was Terrified of Having Sex After Losing 70 Pounds
https://ift.tt/2GV68a4 Rachel Smith had been overweight her entire life, and frankly, she didn't really care. She was happy with her body, so she saw no point in trying to lose weight. But in her mid-20s, when she made minor changes that unexpectedly led to major weight loss, Smith was totally blindsided by one of the biggest challenges that came with her new body: a fear of being intimate sexually. "From 276 to 204 [pounds], I've realized that I'm terrified of intimacy," she wrote on Reddit last month. "Being overweight was a fantastic solution. It was like an instant screening process. It meant that anyone who wanted to be close to me really meant it. And now my screening process is melting away." RELATED: This Woman Lost 312 Pounds—but She Never Expected This Incredibly Painful Side Effect Smith tells Health that growing up, she didn't think losing weight was in the cards for her. She gave it a "half-hearted attempt" a few times, but all of the women in her family "run a little bigger," so she figured being overweight was just in her DNA. "Even when I was 5 years old, people would pick me up and they would always be surprised by how heavy I was," she says. But that all changed when she got her wisdom teeth out. She couldn't eat solid food for a week, and she lost 20 pounds. "It was horrible. It was the worst experience. But it taught me a really important lesson, and that was I am capable of losing weight. I'm not some genetic anomaly. It's not that I can't do it," she says. Smith gained those pounds back as soon as she was able to eat real food again, but shortly after, she downloaded a calorie counting app. She used the app to calculate what her daily calorie intake should be by entering things like her age, gender, current weight, goal weight, activity level, and more. She lost 15 pounds in the first month using the app. Now, she's lost over 70, and she's hoping to keep her weight-loss journey going. RELATED: How to Figure Out Exactly How Many Calories You Need to Lose Weight, According to a Nutritionist Getting used to her slimmer body has been exciting, but it's also come with serious challenges. She got catcalled walking down the street for the first time in her life, and she started to notice that attention like that really scared her. Like she said on Reddit, her excess weight used to be her "screening process." Now that was disappearing. "In my mind, anyone who still wanted to be my friend, date me, or have sex with me clearly wanted me for who I was inside because they didn't care what I looked like," she says. Looking back, she knows that so-called screening process didn't actually protect her from the rejection and hearbreak she was always so afraid of, she adds, but she just felt safer. Smith says she was "terrified" to get back on dating apps following her weight loss, yet after taking all new photos for her profile, she decided she was ready. She put herself out there, and she's really glad she did. "I've always described myself as a confident person, and my confidence has tripled," she says. "Not only am I confident now in what I'm wearing, in my makeup, and in who I am, but I feel good, and I feel like I look good. It's this entirely new type of confidence." But, contrary to what many might think, that confidence hasn't necessarily made dating any easier. Smith is still really scared of opening up to new people, even 70 pounds lighter. RELATED: I Lost 100 Pounds In One Year After I Realized Losing Weight Wasn't Going to Make Me Happy And then there's sex. "It's so different because I feel like I have a completely different person's body," she says. "I move differenly, I experience things differently, I feel differently, and it's all better." She also feels confident in a completely new way. "I'm not worrying about what I look like or feeling attractive. I'm just there, in the moment, with another person." She says she's been able to stop focusing on herself so much during sex, which has made it way more enjoyable. "I'm not constantly thinking 'Does my stomach look weird at this angle?' or 'I don't want to do this position because I'll squish you.'" Don't get her wrong, she was freaking out the first time she took it to the bedroom in her new body. She had no idea what it was going to be like, and again, she was by no means over her fear of opening up to other people. But she found the courage to let go, and it was better than she could have hoped. Smith is now in therapy, where she's learning how to develop healthy relationships, both with others and herself. "I'm trying to stop living my life through fear," she says. "Asking for a way to screen out all of the bad people who might come into my life is both impossible and unrealistic, so part of what makes this so hard, and part of what makes this so exciting, is that I'm throwing away the screening process. I don't want to miss out on the good because I'm afraid of the bad."

Kim Zolciak-Biermann Says Daughter Ariana, 17, Lost 30 Lbs. After Being Body-Shamed
http://bit.ly/2DVa1bT Life in the spotlight has been tough for Kim Zolciak-Biermann’s daughter Ariana Biermann. The 17-year-old grew up surrounded by cameras during the decade that her mom has starred on The Real Housewives of Atlanta and Don’t Be Tardy, and she’s struggled with her body image as a result. Biermann sobbed during frustrating prom dress fittings last March, as seen on Sunday night’s episode of Don’t Be Tardy. But Zolciak-Biermann said since then, her daughter has lost a significant amount of weight. “Ariana, now, she’s lost, like, 30 lbs.,” Zolciak-Biermann, 40, told Entertainment Tonight on Saturday. “She works out at the gym every day. She’s itty-bitty tiny. She’s really kind of come into her own.” RELATED: Woman Loses 140 Lbs. After Being Bullied in High School: 'I Feel Like Two Different People' RELATED: Fitness Star Anna Victoria Doesn’t Weigh Herself. Here’s the Number She Pays Attention to Instead But Biermann still struggles with her body image because she compares herself to her friends, her mom added. “At the time, a lot of her friends are on the smaller side … they’re, like, a size negative-zero, 99 percent of her friends, so to her, she’s like, ‘I’m fat, and I’m this…’ and it’s just hard, and it’s heartbreaking,” she said. RELATED: This Woman Lost 120 Pounds in Less Than a Year Using a Meal Plan You Probably Haven't Heard Of And through living in the public eye, Biermann sees her negative thoughts reflected on social media. “People on Instagram, especially, are so f—— rude about it that I have to monitor her page constantly because of the nasty comments, ‘You’re fat, you’ve always been fat….’ just horrible, mean, mean things,” Zolciak-Biermann said. “Now, they’re saying all she does is photoshop her pictures, ‘cause she’s not that small. It’s a constant battle, and I always want my girls to love themselves, no matter what size they are.” Zolciak-Biermann said that she’s also honest with her kids about plastic surgery. She had a tummy tuck in 2015 after giving birth to her now 4-year-old twins Kaia and Kane and developing a hernia, and she reduced the size of her breast implants last year because they were too “heavy.” “I’m very open with my children on [her plastic surgery],” she said. “I am not open to any plastic surgery on my girls at this time. I tell them, you know, when you’re done having kids and all that good stuff, worry about all that stuff later on down the road, if that’s what you want to do, but you guys are beautiful and so young.” RELATED: Dieters Who Follow This Popular Plan Lose Weight by Eating More. Here's How It Works That’s the sentiment she pushes on her kids. “I do believe that beauty shines from, truly, within,” she said. “We focus on that kind of thing.” Zolciak-Biermann frequently defends herself and her six kids against Photoshop allegations from people on social media. She once shared multiple photos of herself in a bikini after getting negative comments earlier in the day, and said, “as you can see, I don’t have to photoshop anything.” And in October, Zolciak-Biermann found herself denying accusations that she Photoshopped pictures of her twins. “People are f—– SICK!! Get the f— out here!! No post was taken down and no photo has been nor will ever be edited of my children! I will no longer stand for this bulls—!” she tweeted in response.

What to Know About the Nutritarian Diet—and Why It's So Hard to Follow
http://bit.ly/2DUq1L3 When Joel Fuhrman, MD, became involved in nutritional science more than 30 years ago, the family physician couldn’t find a diet he felt was truly optimized for improving health, boosting longevity, and reducing risk of disease. Sure, some diets limited calories and shunned unhealthy fats and sugars, but many of them also allowed for other less-than-ideal food groups, he thought, or were too loose and vague with their instructions. So he decided to create his own diet—one that was backed by scientific research and designed to prevent cancer and heart disease, slow aging, and extend lifespan. In his 2003 book Eat to Live, Dr. Fuhrman unveiled what he calls the Nutritarian Diet, which he describes as a nutrient-dense eating style. “With this diet, you get optimal exposure to the full orchestra of micronutrients and phytochemicals your body needs, in the absence of empty calories,” he tells Health. A diet that’s designed to help you live longer and healthier may sound like a no-brainer. Before you jump on board, though, it’s important to know that the Nutritarian Diet is quite restrictive and may be difficult to follow—especially if you’re a big fan of meat, dairy, pasta, or sweets. Here are the basics. RELATED: The Best Diets of 2019—and Why the Keto Diet Ranked So Low The Nutritarian Diet's core principlesThe Nutritarian Diet is based on the idea that long-term health is predicted by a person’s nutrient intake per calorie eaten—a formula Dr. Fuhrman refers to as H = N/C. The diet even has its own food pyramid, which includes vegetables at the bottom (these should make up 30 to 60% of your calories, he says) and commercially raised meats, sweets, cheeses, and processed foods at the top (these should be consumed rarely or not at all). Between those two extremes are the rest of the food groups: Fruits; beans/legumes; and seeds, nuts, and avocados should each make up between 10 and 40% of the Nutritarian Diet. Whole grains and potatoes should be 20% or less. And eggs, oil, fish, and wild or naturally raised meat and dairy products should make up less than 10% of daily calories. The diet also pays attention to what Dr. Fuhrman calls “hormonal favorability.” Animal proteins and certain carbohydrates—those with high glycemic indexes—have been linked to hormone levels that contribute to cancer, cardiovascular disease, and obesity, so the Nutritarian Diet keeps these foods to a minimum. Instead, it encourages eating plenty of G-BOMBS—an acronym that stands for greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries, and seeds. “These are the most health-promoting, anti-cancer superfoods on the planet,” says Dr. Fuhrman. RELATED: Dieters Who Follow This Popular Plan Lose Weight by Eating More. Here's How It Works How do you follow the Nutritarian Diet?There are a few different ways you can try the Nutritarian Diet. On Dr. Fuhrman’s website, he offers instructions for a “10 in 20” detox program (designed to help you lose 10 pounds in 20 days), a six-week jump-start plan, or a long-term—and slightly more flexible—“Eat to Live” plan. “For some people it’s better to jump right in with two feet and just do what I tell them, and their palate will adjust and they’ll develop a taste for this eating style sooner than they think,” says Dr. Fuhrman. “For others, if I give them such a strict approach, it’s going to drive them away—so it’s all about finding the right balance for each person.” No matter what plan you choose, you’ll be eating a lot of vegetables—ideally, about half raw and half cooked. Dr. Fuhrman recommends eating a large salad every day and thinking of meat and cheese (if you eat them at all) as condiments rather than main courses. How much you eat matters too. Eating between meals is discouraged, and during meals, Dr. Fuhrman recommends stopping before you feel full. He also recommends leaving at least 13 hours between dinner and breakfast the next morning, which gives the body time to enter the fat-burning stage of digestion. RELATED: This Diet and Workout Plan Is Supposed to Help You Hit Your Goal Weight in 80 Days—but Is It Safe? How hard is the Nutritarian Diet to follow?Earlier this year, U.S. News and World Report ranked the Nutritarian Diet #15 (in a tie) for Best Diet Overall, and #3 for Best Commercial Diet Plan. But it only ranked #30 (out of 41) in Easiest Diets to Follow. “Whether the Nutritarian Diet is easy to follow depends on how much you like raw and cooked whole veggies and fruits versus breads, meats, and sweets,” according to the U.S. News review. “Beverage restrictions from coffee to alcohol could be chafing,” it says, and “you’ll need willpower to stick with the shorter weight-loss versions.” The diet also requires a guided plan, available for purchase either through Dr. Fuhrman’s website or one of his six published books. The good news, though, is that there are plenty of recipes available online. “Once you’ve restocked your pantry and fridge, preparing Nutritarian-based meals shouldn’t be difficult,” says U.S. News. Dr. Fuhrman says he doesn’t agree with U.S. News’ rankings system and believes that the Nutritarian Diet can’t be judged accurately based on the criteria involved. But he does agree that, by design, the Nutritarian Diet is stricter and more limiting than many other popular plans out there. If a person is coming from an unhealthy diet, he says, it’s normal to feel tired or crave fatty or sugary foods when they first start following such a nutrient-rich plan. “But this diet can be sustainable—it can be made palatable so that people will stay with it long-term and enjoy eating this way as much as their old diet,” he says. The rule about no snacking may also be difficult for people to follow, and it’s not necessarily one that other health experts would agree with: While it’s certainly possible to go overboard or make unhealthy snack choices, most nutritionists agree that small snacks—up to 200 calories—can provide important nutrients and reduce hunger cravings, which can help you avoid overeating at mealtime. The Nutritarian Diet is modifiable—for example, it can be vegan or it can include meat and dairy, depending on a person’s individual needs. It can also be tailored to avoid specific food allergies or sensitivities. Besides that, though, there’s little flexibility. Overall, Dr. Fuhrman believes that the Nutritarian Diet’s strictness is a strength, not a weakness. “The fact that the bar is set so high makes it easier to do, not harder,” he says. “You don’t have mixed messages about what you can and can’t have, and you’re not being tempted with things pulling you in different directions, and that makes it more effective.” But for many people, the diet will require a major lifestyle change. “The only legitimate criticism of this way of eating is that most people don’t want to do it—most people want to recreate with food and not pay attention to what they’re eating,” says Dr. Fuhrman. “But if they gave this a try and saw how much better they feel, there would be no argument.” To get our top stories delivered to your inbox, sign up for the Healthy Living newsletter Weight Loss via Weight Loss - Health.com http://bit.ly/2GCRyFt February 19, 2019 at 01:06PM

She was lighter than she had been in years, and she loved how she felt. But the next year her dad passed away, and eating quickly became an outlet to ease her grief. "I began emotionally eating without even really realizing it," Parent, who is from Canada, tells Health. "For the three years after my dad passed away, I was just gaining, gaining, gaining." In 2016, she gave birth to her first daughter, causing her weight to go up to 250 pounds. A second pregnancy resulted in more weight gain, and the number on the scale passed 300.

She was at an annual Christmas get-together with her closest friends, and as they do every year, they took a group photo. "I had this moment where I saw myself in the photo, and I just hadn't realized how different I looked and how much weight I had gained," she says. "That photo was the end of me not coming to terms with it." Not long after, she was on Instagram searching for inspiration when she came across something called the 21-Day Meal Plan. It was only $20. "That's probably how much I spent on McDonald's last week," Parent recalled thinking at the time, and signed up. She asked her partner, Jeremy Crawley, to do it with her, and they "dove in head first." Parent says she knew she wanted a plan that gave her some structure but wasn't crazy restrictive, which is what made her effort ultimately successful. The diet she tried simply provides a list of foods users are allowed to eat. There's no strict timing or portion sizes; it's all about eating whole foods. It's called the 21-Day Meal Plan because experts believe if you can do something for 21 days, you can likely stick to it. That's what's happened for Parent. "I'm on month 13 of the plan," she says. "We've been able to make it just our regular way of eating." RELATED: This Is the One Thing This Woman Wishes Someone Would Have Told Her Before Losing 336 Pounds At age 29, she's now down to 174 pounds, lighter than she was in 2012, when she weighed about 198. Parent says the biggest difference she notices now that she's lost so much weight is her "overall patience as a partner, as a mother, as a friend, as everything." She also says she's dealt with anxiety her whole life, but losing weight has helped her take control of those emotions. "I always say I no longer sweat the small stuff... Now, things just kind of roll right off of my back. I'm so much more relaxed. Life itself feels less stressful because my overall mood has improved." Basically, everything just feels better, she says. Plus, she loves what she sees when she looks in the mirror. What advice would she give to others looking to lose weight and get healthy? Parent says it's all about finding a weight-loss plan that fits your lifestyle. Everyone is different; some people will succeed with a plan that allows flexibility, while others do better having every meal mapped out for them. If you're looking to drop pounds, take some time and really think about what will work for you. "You want to start something you're going to be able to finish," she says. "You want it to be something you can do for life, not something that sounds like a quick fix. It has to be something sustainable, for you, for your life, for your everyday."
