Step 1: Put the Commitments in Place
• Attend weekly and make your midweek phone call
• Keep daily records on the Weekly Summary Form (WSF)
The Program Commitments are the necessary starting place for partnership and coaching.
Step 2: Practice the Triple Imperative®
Consistently meet or exceed the minimum goals every week
• 14 meal replacements
• 35 servings of vegetables and fruits
• 2,000 calories of physical activity
If you are not fully achieving your weight-management goals, add the following three steps: |
Step 3: “Overpractice” the Triple Imperative®
Establish higher minimum goals on one or more of the Imperatives. Remember, More is Better™! (Note: If there’s a question about which Imperative to target, start with meal replacements. Meal replacements are your most effective tool for displacing calories.)
Step 4: Plan Decision Free™ “In the Box” Days
Plan “in the box” days (minimum 3 HMR® Shakes, 2 HMR® Entrees, 5 servings of vegetables and fruits with no other foods—more is better!) to further structure your eating and reduce calorie intake.
Finally, to further support your weight-management efforts:
• Use the HMR Calorie SystemSM to make food choices that can help reduce your overall calorie.
• Make specific environmental control plans, which may require time-limited food record analysis. |
