More is Better when it comes to weight loss and weight loss maintenance. More physical activity, of course, more fruits and vegetables, and more HMR shakes to add structure and volume. Most people find it easy to develop and stay in the habit of morning shakes - but our busy days can take us away from the rest of our best made plans.
This week's shake of the week is both a recipe and a strategy - an easy way to have your shakes available whenever you need them.
Start by making your morning shake and give a quick rinse to your blender, if needed. Immediately prepare the following pudding recipe:
You Will Need:
4 Packets HMR 70+ Chocolate Shake
1 1/2 C Cold Water
Cinnamon and Nutmeg (optional)
Pour 1C water in blender. Add HMR shake mix and spices. Blend, adding water until thick and creamy. Refrigerate 4 to 24 hours.
Later on, you can simply place your blender on its base and re-blend to whip up a delicious snack or dessert - and use whatever is left over to make tomorrow morning's shake by adding a little more water, a banana, and ice.
70+ puddings will get thicker and more delicious the longer they stay in the fridge (up to 24 hours) - just be sure to reblend before use to get a velvety consistency. Be creative.
Make it easier to achieve your weight management goals by practicing More is Better with time saving, delicious strategies like this one.
Bon Apetit!

Combining extracts and puddings with your HMR shakes will allow you to create an unlimited number of shake flavors to enjoy.
This recipe was inspired by a delicious low fat cheesecake recipe made with fat free sugar free jello cheesecake pudding and graham crackers. Add a chopped up honey graham benefit bar to this shake if you want the smooth, creamy flavor of cheesecake with lots fewer calories.
You Will Need:
- 2 Scoops HMR 120 Vanilla Shakes
- 1 C Water
- 2T Fat Free Sugar Free
Cheesecake Jello Pudding - 2-3 Drops Almond Extract
- 1 Tray Ice
Directions:
Pour water in blender. Add HMR 120 shake mix
and jello pudding mix and almond extract. Mix on low until smooth. Add
ice to desired thickness.
Bon Apetit!

One of Full Life's most successful clients (who is keeping off over 100 pounds since he lost it in 2002) came to speak to our BLITZ class this week. He said that staying connected to Full Life the past 7 years has been a deciding factor in his long term weight maintenance success.
Achieving Balance Tip #2 - STAY CONNECTED. Go to class no matter what kind of week you have had. Make the call to your Personal Coach or Health Educator. Enroll in the HMR at Home Program and stay in Maintenance. And if you have been out of the loop - RESTART!
Keep the people who support your healthy lifestyle in your life.
If you want to be different, you have to be different. You can do it!

What have you learned about yourself from all the diets you have been on in the past? Most people can identify one or two things they took away from a successful weight loss experience. Did meal replacements help you before? Did record keeping make the difference? What about the Physical Activity you were doing faithfully way back when?
The HMR at Home Program has all this and more - exactly what it takes to get weight loss results. Based on years of data and clinical experience, the folks at HMR have brought the basics of successful weight loss right to your doorstep.
Structure. Accountability. Fast, easy weight loss up front.
3 HMR Shakes, 2 HMR Entrees and at least 5 full cup servings of fruits and veggies each day. 300 Calories in Physical Activity. That's it. Our coaches help you learn how to do it. (And provide the accountability you need to make sure you stick with it!)
Approaching weight loss without structure is like planning a European vacation without buying any tickets. Would you just show up at the airport and hope for a flight? Not likely.
Would you board a flight without knowing where you will land? Again, not likely.
But many people take an abstract approach to weight loss - the "just do it" plan - and then wonder why their diet has fallen apart by 4pm.
Give yourself a chance to succeed. Try the HMR at Home Program for 3 weeks and see the results you need to get started on a path to a healthier life.
