CHESAPEAKE, VA, November 10, 2007 -- Patients at Tidewater Bariatrics PLLC say the help of a weight-loss doctor and a tasty meal replacement program have enabled them to finally lose weight and change unhealthy eating habits.
That program just got better, and tastier, today when Medical Director Dr. Margaret Gaglione announced the addition of HMR® Multigrain Hot Cereal to its food selection.
"It's a delicious, nutritious and extra filling whole grain option for weight loss," says Dr. Gaglione.
HMR® Multigrain Hot Cereal includes a hearty blend of oats, wheat and corn, plus tangy currants and cranberries, chewy bits of apple, and a hint of cinnamon.
"It's a deliciously different alternative to oatmeal, and will help those patients who love eating breakfast," says Dr. Gaglione. "Best of all, it has 10 grams of protein, two servings of whole grains, and 25 percent of the Daily Value for most vitamins and minerals in every serving."
"It’s perfect for weight management any time of day," says Adrian Hick, Tidewater Bariatric's Health Educator. "Individuals can eat it as a filling breakfast, a snack at work, a healthy option when traveling, or a satisfying dessert."
Dr. Gaglione partnered with HMR® (Health Management Resources®) to provide her patients with a credible meal replacement program that compliments the medical and educational aspect of her care. For more than 20 years, HMR®'s Program for Weight Management has helped almost 1,000,000 people in the United States and is offered in more than 400 hospitals and medical centers nationally. Tidewater Bariatrics is only one of three medical clinics in Virginia to offer the HMR® program. The other locations are Roanoke and Northern Virginia.
