Information About the HCG Diet  Protocol Discovered by Dr. Simeons

What is the HCG Diet?

The HCG weight loss protocol consists of a very low calorie diet (VLCD) accompanied by treatments of HCG, eitther oral or injected.  The average HCG dieter experiences rapid weight loss averaging 1 to 3 pounds per day.  In addition to loss of unwanted fat, the true benefit of the hCG protocol is its ability to help modify the dieter's relationship with food and eating, resulting in easily maintained, long-term weight loss.

The use of HCG in the treatment of obesity was first discovered by the  British Physician, Dr. A. T. W. Simeons. 

Dr. Simeons first published a report on the topic in 1954, while practicing in Rome, Italy.  He devoted years to researching various patients suffering from obesity.  During this time, Simeons noticed several important factors including the lack of symptoms one would expect from a patient on a very low calorie diet.  For example, his patients had no headaches, hunger pains, weakness, or irritability as long as the low calorie diet was combined with hCG. 

Dr. Simeons and HCG diet injection results

Throughout his research, Dr. Simeons noted how patients lost significant amounts of weight while their bodies reshaped naturally- without exercise, and without effort.  This lead him to discover how patients lost more fat tissue directly from adipose tissue accumulations, causing highly visible contouring of the body.

Weight Loss Program FAQs

The medical term for HCG is Human Chorionic Gonaditropin, a natural water-based hormone. Is HCG Safe? Manufactured in a sterile environment, there is no risk of disease being spread through use of this product. HCG has been used safely for many years in weight loss treatment programs.

How does HCG work? During pregnancy, HCG is produced in the placenta of the pregnant woman. It allows the fetus to access its mother's stored nutrients. The HCG liquefies the contents of the fat cells allowing the fetus to absorb the nutrients through the blood stream. In overweight people, HCG seeks out the stored nutrients in the fat cells. Liquefying the content of the fat cell, these nutrients are then released into the bloodstream. This naturally stored energy supplies the body with upwards to 2,000 calories per day. While burning this stored energy, the body's energy level  increases and appetite decreases. Fat cells are emptied and shrunk much smaller than normal cells. Therefore, inches, as well as pounds are lost on the program. What about the wrinkles and stretch marks? With HCG treatments abnormal fat deposits disappear. Double chins, pot bellies, and fat around the thighs are normally the first to go. The treatments do not deplete structural and essential tissue needed in order to maintain healthy body function. The body regains and maintains a natural, fresh appearance throughout the program. Would a low calorie diet alone result in weight loss? A low calorie diet alone does not distinguish between structural tissue and fat cell content. Furthermore, a low calorie diet alone will cause a loss of energy levels. Without proper nutrients and sufficient calories for the body to maintain normal function, a low-calorie diet alone can eventually result in malnutrition, illness and system damage. Diets that do not provide adequate nutrition or calories result in a decrease of the body's metabolism. Although initially, there will be some weight loss, insufficient calories will cause body function to slow and weight loss will stop.
