How it works

The San Diego Center program offers structure, education, and coaching to get you to your weight-loss goals. Program participants make two commitments: to attend their weight-loss classes weekly and to keep simple records to track their progress. Trained healthcare professionals work with you to provide training, perspective, and support, helping you make practical, realistic changes that won’t stop when you go off the diet.

Free Individual Consultation

We offer free individual consultations with one of our highly trained Health Educators consultation. At your consultation, the Health Educator will review your weight loss goals and your medical history to better provide you with program options and pricing. If you would like to schedule your free consultation, sign up online today or give us a call at 619.297.8640.

Weekly Classes

All IHM patients attend a weekly weight-loss support class led by a highly trained Health Educator. The class provides a structured focus on weight management skill development through coaching, practice and feedback. You will be given dieting support for the upcoming week as well as opportunities for individual coaching.

These classes provide an intensive lifestyle education that will prepare you to succeed in the maintenance program and in long-term weight management. top...

Individual Support

HMR® Health Educators provide advice, guidance, tips and telephone follow-up to help you achieve your weight-loss goals. You work with a personal weight-loss coach to determine the right HMR Program for you. top...

Medical Supervision (if necessary)

The IHM medical staff reviews your health history and determines the level of medical supervision you will need throughout the program. Comprehensive medical supervision is provided (if necessary) on-site at our San Diego facility. All patients benefit from our physicians and medical staff being on call 24/7. top...

Maintenance

HMR’s state-of-the-art maintenance program, the most comprehensive in the industry, focuses on lifestyle strategies for long-term weight management. You’ll learn lifelong habits and behaviors to keep the weight off. top...

Diet Options

We offer two basic diet options in the clinic. Both diets are nutritionally complete and provide plenty of delicious food so you can feel full while you lose weight. In fact, you can eat as many HMR foods as you need to feel satisfied and still lose weight. These are NOT deprivation diets!

Decision-Free® Diet

The Decision-Free Program offers healthy, low-calorie diets with a lot of food so you don’t have to feel hungry. It uses HMR’s nutritionally complete weight-loss shakes and entrees in place of grocery store food. Plus, the program is adapted to your needs so you’re more likely to stick with it.

People on the Decision-Free Diet eat only HMR meal replacements — shakes, entrees, multigrain hot cereal and nutrition bars. Diet options include using either 5 HMR Shakes per day, or 3 HMR Shakes + 2 HMR Entrees. This diet includes medical supervision.

Healthy Solutions® Diet

This flexible approach promotes moderate weight loss by combining nutritionally complete HMR foods along with fruits and vegetables. Designed by health professionals to maximize weight loss without the need for medical supervision for most people,* the HMR Healthy Solutions Program follows a diet that is simple to stick with, filling so you don’t feel hungry, and with lots of delicious variety. Each day, you’ll enjoy:

The Healthy Solutions diet follows a “3+2+5” structure: 3 HMR Shakes + 2 HMR Entrees + 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day.

*Dieters taking medication for diabetes do require medical supervision. Medical supervision may also be recommended for other serious medical conditions.

Your questions answered!

What is the cost of the San Diego Center program?
The cost of our San Diego center based program depends on a few things: How much weight you have to lose, which diet option you choose, and any medical supervision you may need. In addition to program fees, you will be purchasing HMR Shakes and pre-packaged meals as your food on the diet. If you are interested, we offer free individual consultations with one of our Health Educator’s. At the consultation, the Health Educator will discuss your weight loss goals and your medical history to better provide you with program options and pricing. If you would like to schedule your free individual consultation, sign up online today or give us a call at 619.297.8640.

We also offer the HMR at Home® program for those who are unable to attend classes at our San Diego center location. For complete information on the HMR at Home Program, visit http://www.ihmonline.com/programs_hmrathome.aspx.

Does insurance cover the HMR® program?
Some insurance companies do provide coverage for the medical portion of the HMR center program. You will need to discuss this with your insurance company. The San Diego center staff can provide you with weekly claim forms for you to submit to your insurance company.. top...

What is the calorie level?
Medically supervised HMR Decision-Free Diets range from approximately 500–800 calories per day or more. The HMR Healthy Solutions Diet is approximately 1,200–1,600 calories per day or more. top...

How much weight can I expect to lose?
Generally, people on our Decision-Free Diet lose 2–4 pounds per week, or more. People on our Healthy Solutions diet lose about 2–3 pounds per week. Again, many people lose more. In either case, HMR has the best-published weight-loss results of any ongoing treatment program (based on HMR data published or presented at medical conferences): Clinic program participants using our Decision-Free Diet with medical supervision lose an average of 55–60 pounds. Some people lose over 100 pounds in this program. Clinic program participants using our Healthy Solutions diet lose an average of 35–40 pounds. Again, some dieters lose significantly more. top...

Do I need Medical Supervision?
All HMR Program participants receive a professional screening upon joining. Depending on the diet you choose, your body mass index, and your medical history, the medical staff will determine whether you require medical supervision. Most participants on the Healthy Solutions Diet do not require medical supervision. top...

How do I choose which HMR diet is right for me?
Both HMR diet options are effective. Generally speaking, people with 40 pounds or more to lose will achieve their weight-loss goal more quickly with the Decision-Free Diet. However, many people also lose 40, 50, or even 100 or more pounds on the Healthy Solutions diet. We offer free, in-depth individual consultations to help you make an informed choice without any obligation. top...
