How does hCG work?

Most calorie counters know that one pound of fat is equivalent to 3,500 calories. Jogging one mile burns about 100 calories. If you're 50 pounds overweight, you need to jog from San Francisco to Dallas (1,750 miles) to mathematically burn 50 pounds. However, if weight were lost that easily, many more Americans would be jogging from coast to coast.

Many Americans work out regularly and burn the calories but can't seem to lose the weight. The reason why? They are burning the wrong calories.

To explain, there are three types of fats in the human body:

• Structural fat: this fills the gaps between organs and acts as a sort of "packing material" for the body.

• Normal reserves: the body draws upon this fat when nutritional intake is less than what the body demands. This is the type of fat you lose on most diets.

• Abnormal fat: abnormal and excessive accumulations are fixed deposits of fats throughout the body and cause obesity. The body is unable to draw on this fat in emergencies.

Medical Intervention for weight loss

When exercising or restricting food intake, the body relies on and consumes (burns) the normal fat reserves for energy. That’s the way the body was naturally designed or created. But here is the problem! The body was not naturally designed to access the abnormal fat accumulations. Thus the need for some type of intervention to access the abnormal fat accumulations. The use of the hCG hormone opens the way for the body to release the abnormal fat deposits and makes the fat available for consumption by the body.

Most patients on our hCG Let's Get Slim Again program lose about one pound per day.
Because the hCG hormone makes the abnormal fat available, the body begins living off the fat – the fat provides a source of energy, just as food does. Patients are instructed to reduce food to 500 calories per day; however, hunger is not noticed because 3,500 additional calories are consumed each day by the body. The results: Though not a guarantee most patients may lose about one pound per day while using the hCG hormone.

What is HCG?
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a natural hormone that should not be confused with a growth hormone.

hCG is a prescription drug : it can only be purchased legally by a licensed physician and its administration must be supervised by a licensed physician.

How was hCG developed for weight loss?

In the 1950s, in Rome, Italy, Dr. Simeons was looking for a cure for obesity. Not simply another weight loss program, where dieters would lose pounds and then put them right back on again after they went off their rigid calorie control.

He wanted to see the overweight problem ended. In other words, when weight came off, it stayed off.

Dr. Simeons, a British medical doctor, had a hunch that weight gain and overeating are rooted in a single underlying problem. He puzzled over this for years.

While in India, he noticed that women who were pregnant during times of hunger, living on a mere 200 calories a day and losing weight throughout their pregnancy, nevertheless had full-term healthy babies. How could this be?

It dawned on him that, by some unknown means, a hungry woman's pregnancy mobilized her fat to feed her baby.

Dr. Simeons was aware that the hormone HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) increases during pregnancy. Might this be the key?

Over the next 16 years, this British medical doctor ran a clinic attached to a hospital in Italy, combining injections of hCG with a short-term specific diet that dampens hunger while the body burns fat on a very specific diet. He successfully treated some 10,000 patients. Royalty and the very wealthy flocked to him-the kind of people who could afford to spend 40 days in his clinic.

In due course, other doctors began studying Dr. Simeons' unique protocol and taking it back with them to different parts of Europe. Amazingly, in person after person the pounds and inches came off-and stayed off.

What people were losing wasn't simply weight, but fat - a particular kind of fat. That hard to lose fat!

We generally think of fat as just "fat," but in fact there are three distinct kinds of fat-two of which we need, and one we don't. If you've tried dieting, perhaps diet after diet, and found that the weight comes back, it's because diets can't rid us of the one kind of fat that most needs to be eliminated.

Of the three kinds of fat, structural fat is essential because it cushions our organs. Then there's the kind of fat that gives us a reserve of energy, fueling the body between meals. But a third kind of fat-the unsightly fat that ruins our appearance-is totally unhealthy. This unwanted fat is not only unhealthy, it just happens to be almost impossible to lose. It can be mobilized only in times of starvation and pregnancy.

In women, abnormal fat tends to accumulate around the middle and thighs. In men, it's around the belly and chest. In both cases, it's extremely difficult to get rid of. The usual approaches to weight loss just don't budge it. Thus we have over weight individuals with the apple and pear shaped look. We even have the muffin shape.

The genius of Dr. Simeons was to recognize that hCG triggers the body to burn this type of fat. It seems to reset the hypothalmus gland, along with areas of the brain that regulate a variety of hormones, blood sugar metabolism, blood pressure, and other key body functions.

Disclaimer: These weight reduction treatments include oral HCG or an injection of HCG, a drug which has not been approved by the food and drug administration as safe and effective in the treatment of obesity or weight control. There is no substantial evidence that HCG increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or “normal” distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restrictive diets.
