loss tool, weight loss is
merely a positive side effect of leading a healthie
r dietary lifestyle.
What is The Healthy Meal Program?
Regime’s HMP is a comprehensive weight-loss program
that features
premium quality, freshly prepared meals and tasty s
nacks in calorie-
controlled portions. These nutritionally balanced m
eals are offered in
conjunction with expert advice and online tools to
give you the support you
need to succeed.
How does HMP work?
Once you select the plan that best fits your needs,
you're ready to begin
customizing your menu. Choose from a large variety
of great tasting,
freshly prepared meals. You'll choose breakfast, lu
nch, dinner, salad, soup
and dessert for each day. The meals you select are
then made to order with
only the highest quality ingredients, carefully por
tioned, packed and
delivered directly to you. All you do is heat, eat
and enjoy!
What kind of results can I expect from the program?
While enjoying more variety in your food than ever
before, you will reach
your goal weight and drop bad cholesterol, triglyce
ride and glucose levels
significantly. We are confident that you will reali
ze that all your goals are
easily within your reach. All you have to do is tak
e a decision, and we will
help guide you the rest of the way to a healthier,
happier, and more
confident you.
How much weight can I expect to lose while on the HMP and how soon will the results appear?
While all of our clients are experiencing excellent
outcomes, results
vary from person to person. Healthy weight loss is
0.5 - 1 kilo per
week. The amount of weight you lose depends on many
factors: your
age, activity level, amount of exercise, medical co
nditions and present
weight. If you exercise, keep in mind that muscle i
s 22% heavier than
fat. Don’t necessarily go by the number on the scal
e, rather the way
you look and feel about yourself. Usually results a
ppear with just a
few days with significant changes showing up in two
weeks.

dy fat and efficiently utilizing
your daily calories".

Very few clients ask this question, however when they do
we see it is usually in their first
week. This usually occurs because your system is readjust
ing in the first week. Most
clients notice after the first seven days that they
are no longer having the cravings they
were used to. This is because your system and blood sugar le
vels are now balanced. But
during this first week you may eat as much salad (greens only
) as you please. Salads are a
free food.

Can I drink diet soda with this program?
Diet Soda has artificial sweeteners. Artificial swee
teners have a cornered edge that
resembles a sugar molecule. Your body will think its sugar, s
o your body anticipates this
and starts secreting insulin. Your blood levels will then
decrease resulting in
carbohydrate cravings. So what you are doing is faking out
your body. If you must have
diet soda, then please limit it to only one a day. You
can consider this a treat for yourself;
any more will compromise the programs intentions.
