The WMP is actually connected to Health Management Resources (HMR). This is an extremely low-calorie doctor supervised diet. By extremely low-calorie, I mean that you would only consume about 600-800 calories per day. You see the doctor once per week though while on this program. There are two options through the hospital and then two options for at-home. The one that I think would benefit me the most is the Decision-Free Diet. Here is some information on that:
- Rapid weight loss
