How to Use MRPs & 20 Tips to Tackle Regain

If you feel frustrated by weight regain after a significant weight loss, you are not alone. Weight regain is more common than you might think.

We talk to bariatric patients every day who are desperate to get control of their weight and they want our advice.

Here’s what we tell them:

First, UNJURY® Protein-Centric Meal Replacements are an excellent way to lose weight. Medical research tells us that Meal Replacements work for weight loss and weight maintenance. In fact, Whey Protein has been shown to increase GLP-1 which helps you stay satiated, without the high cost or side effects of newer weight loss medications.

How to Use Meal Replacements for Weight Loss:

*Consult your doctor before beginning a weight loss program and follow up regularly as you lose weight.

Just use 1 scoop for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Mix with water, milk, or milk alternative. Then, have a small, healthy snack and plenty of water in between meals.

Here’s an example of what one day might look like:

• Water: 12oz
• Breakfast: French Vanilla Meal Replacement Shake (sprinkle of cinnamon)
• Water: 12oz
• Snack: 5oz Greek Yogurt with berries
• Water: 12oz
• Lunch: Martha’s Chicken Soup Meal Replacement (add veggies and chicken cubes)
• Water: 12oz
• Snack: 1/2 cup Hummus with carrots, zucchini, and peppers
• Water: 12oz
