The HMR Weight Management Program that is offered at Marshfield Clinic’s Wausau and Minocqua centers has been named a No. 1 Best Fast Weight-Loss Diet in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Diets of 2019 rankings, HMR announced today. This marks the fourth year in a row that HMR has achieved this ranking, according to HMR.

The HMR Program focuses on helping people lose weight quickly while teaching healthy lifestyle skills needed for long-term weight management.

“Losing weight quickly is incredibly motivating. It can help people stick with their diet longer, which is especially important if you have a lot of weight to lose,” said Kelly Murphy, a registered nurse and nutrition educator at Marshfield Clinic Wausau Center, in a news release. “Many of our clients have 30, 40, sometimes 100 or more pounds to lose, so fast weight loss is important to keep up momentum.”

During the ranking process, U.S. News & World Report created in-depth profiles of 41 diets. A panel of nationally recognized experts on diet, nutrition, obesity, food psychology, diabetes and heart disease rated the diets on their effectiveness.
