Human chorionic gonadotropin is a hormone produced during pregnancy. The hormone is present in the urine, and it’s the presence of  hCG that a home pregnancy test “detects” when such a test is performed.

In a nutshell, if hCG is present…… you are pregnant.

Before getting to hCG’s role in weight loss, let us discuss the different types of fat present in the body, and their role.

There is fat tissue present throughout the body. This tissue is made up of adipocytes (fat cells),  whose sole job is to store energy in the form of fat.

Body fat distribution differs from person to person, relative to their gender, ethnicity, and lifestyle.

There are 3 types of fat in the body:  Structural Fat, Normal Fat, and Abnormal Fat.

Structural fat is the fat that surrounds and protects your internal organs.

This type of fat is necessary for the smooth operation of the body.

Normal Fat is just under the skin,  also known as subcutaneous fat, which the body can can use and store without any problem.  The average person has between 10-20 pounds of normal fat on them without being considered obese.

Abnormal Fat is a potential source of fuel for the body, but unlike Normal Fat, it is not available to the body for energy.  It has become unaccessible, and “locked away”  for use.  Even when we are starving, Abnormal Fat is utilized only after all other energy sources are used up.  This is why the body will burn lean mass (mostly muscle) before it gets to the Abnormal Fat reserves.

So is it fair to state that Abnormal Fat is the most dangerous of the three types?  I think so.

In 1954, Dr. Albert T. Simeons, a British-physician claimed hCG injections would allow dieters to manage easily on a 500 calorie per day diet.

He claimed that hCG could suppress appetite, burn Abnormal Fat as well as redistribute fat from the thighs, waist and hips.  Unfortunately, he had no clinical evidence to validate any of these claims.

But that’s not to say that hCG’s role in weight loss hasn’t been studied…..it has quite extensively.

And guess what?   hCG is the key to setting your body’s metabolism to normal mode.

You are probably thinking, how is that possible?

When you’re on a low-calorie diet, and you eat too few calories (the amount of which is different for everyone), your brain goes into famine mode, which lowers your metabolism and tells your body to conserve fat cells, instead of burn them.  After a lot of dieting, your brain gets more and more sensitive to calorie fluctuations, and it gets next to impossible to lose weight.

Dr. Simeons developed a specific protocol that addresses all of these issues.  His plan utilizes hCG to prevent your brain from thinking it is hungry, and therefore going into famine mode.

In fact, the hCG makes your body use your Abnormal Fast first, then Normal Reserves.

How would you like to lose an average of a pound a day? 15 to 40 lbs. every month, with no exercise required, no hunger, no restrictive diets for life, no unpleasant side effects, and be privy to a healthy and proportionate weight loss lifestyle?

The hCH + diet method can bring relief to a variety of weight related cases, with full cooperation between patient and physician, which will be closely monitored and handled on an individual basis.

The problems associated with obesity are perhaps not so dramatic as the problems of cancer, but they often cause lifelong suffering.  How many of you can think of lives that have been prematurely ended, or promising careers ruined by obesity, or relationships broken by loss of self esteem attributed to weight related issues?
