Facts
-
Today, 65% of Americans
(over 160 million people) are overweight or obese and
the numbers continue to increase.
-
The average American diet
consists of white flour, white sugar and high fat.
-
Most people eat less than
3 meals a day
-
Most weight loss programs
and diets fail
The reason most diets fail is
that
-
With weight loss and fat
loss there is a loss of lean muscle…
-
The lean muscle loss will
slow metabolism
-
A slow metabolism will
result in gaining weight back and more
-
The more you diet, the
more difficult it is to lose weight!!!
There are three types of fat
-
Structural fat
-
Normal fat
-
Abnormal fat
Structural fat fills
the gaps between organs, a sort of packing material. It
performs such important functions as bedding the kidneys in
soft elastic tissue, protecting the coronary arteries and
keeping the skin smooth and taut. It also provides the
springy cushion of hard fat under the bones of the feet,
without which we would be unable to walk.
Normal fat is the
normal reserve of fuel which the body can freely draw upon
when the nutritional income from the intestinal tract is
insufficient to meet the demand of the body. Normal fat
packs the highest caloric value into the smallest space for
muscular activity and the maintenance of body temperature.
These reserves are located all over the body.
Abnormal fat is the
reason people are obese. It is also a potential reserve of
fuel but, unlike the normal reserves, it is not available to
the body in a nutritional emergency. It is entirely abnormal
and the fat that is least likely to respond to typical
diets.
What happens in starvation diets?
1. When overweight people
try to reduce by starving themselves they will first
lose normal fat reserves.
2. When normal fat is exhausted, they begin to burn up
structural fat
3. Lastly, abnormal fat reserves will eventually begin
to burn
The obese person usually
feels so weak and hungry that the diet is abandoned. They
will complain that they feel famished and tired and their
face becomes drawn and haggard, but their belly, hips,
thighs and upper arms show little improvement. The fat they
have come to detest stays on and the fat that they need to
cover their bones and pad their organs gets less and less.
Their skin wrinkles and they look old and miserable. This is
one of the most frustrating and depressing experiences a
human being can have.
Initial HCG Research
Over 50 years ago, Dr. A.T.W.
Simeons, MD began treating obese men and non-pregnant women
with small daily doses of HCG while placing them on a diet
of only 500 calories daily for 6 weeks.
The results showed that these
patients lost an average of about one pound per day. HCG
assisted in removing stored fat while sparing lean muscle
mass by forcing the body to rid fat through the body’s own
natural elimination process. The HCG targeted the abnormal
fat and not the normal or structural fat. Their skin
remained fresh and turgid and, gradually, their figures
became more normal. Inches were lost around the belly, hips
and thighs. The patients lacked the symptoms one would
expect from a patient on a very low calorie diet. For
example, they had no headaches, hunger pains, cravings,
weakness, or irritability as long as the low calorie diet
was combined with HCG. In his study, the daily
administration of HCG had no side-effects other than
beneficial.
Since then, tens of thousands
of people have used a version of this HCG diet to achieve
fast, safe and sustainable weight loss.
What is HCG?
HCG (Human Chorionic
Gonadotropin) is a hormone produced in pregnancy that
stimulates production of progesterone allowing the uterus to
sustain a growing fetus. The HCG hormone protects and
nourishes the fetus by delivering caloric nutrition to the
placenta by obtaining nutrition from the mother. During
pregnancy, if the mother does not eat enough to nourish the
fetus, the HCG will provide adequate nourishment by
obtaining calories from the mother’s fat reserves and feed
the baby while sparing lean muscle.
Clinical Indications (FDA approved
uses)
See information below about
off-label use of HCG
Women
1. HCG therapy is used to
treat infertility by stimulating ovulation and allowing
for the final maturation of eggs.
2. It is extracted from the urine in pregnant women,
tested in a lab for potency and a sterilization assay is
performed.
3. Indicator test for pregnancy
Men
1. HCG is used for the
medical treatment of hypogonadism (very low
testosterone) by stimulating the testes to produce more
testosterone. It naturally raises testosterone levels in
men.
Mechanism of weight loss
in both men and women are the same:
1. Elevated hormone
levels results in an increase in metabolism
2. Targets abnormal fat reserves when on a very low
calorie diet
3. Spares lean muscle
Average Weight Loss in
Women in 6 Weeks
Women lose about 20 to 35
pounds in 40 days which is equivalent to ½ to ¾ pounds per
day. Women of child-bearing age tend to lose more weight due
to higher metabolic and hormonal levels than post-menopausal
women. Surgical hysterectomy and post-menopausal patients
lose an average of 25 pounds.
Average Weight Loss in Men
in 6 weeks
Men lose an average of 30-45
pounds in 40 days which is about 1 pound a day. Men have a
higher metabolic rate than women and increased testosterone
production raises metabolic rate.
The Hypothalamic Connection
The hypothalamus is an area
of the brain that controls the complex operation of storing
and issuing fuel to the body. The amount of sugar in the
blood stream depends on a certain nervous center in the
hypothalamus. When this center is destroyed in laboratory
animals, they develop a condition rather similar to human
diabetes. It has been shown that the destruction of this
particular center in the hypothalamus produces a voracious
appetite and rapid weight gain in animals.
The HCG is believed to cause
the hypothalamus gland in the brain (which regulates the
thyroid, metabolic rate, adrenal glands and storage of fat)
to target and mobilize stored nutrients within the fat cells
by shrinking and draining the fat cell’s contents. The
liquefied nutrients are then released into the bloodstream
for the body to utilize as a source of natural energy. It is
believed that up to 2,000 calories may be delivered in a
single day, thus decreasing hunger, increasing energy and
metabolism.

and women
-

raising hormone levels on a small scale
The HCG Program involves
an initial evaluation in the office. The diet consists of
four steps:
1. Daily injection of HCG
for 21 to 40 days
2. Follow specific food guide with 500 to 700 calorie
maximum daily intake.
3. Exercise by walking 30 minutes a day
4. Pharmaceutical nutrition and supplement regimen
Most commonly asked
question:
Would I lose the same amount
of weight without taking HCG?
Answer. Most likely, yes.
However, very low calorie diets without the use of HCG do
the following:
Off-Label Treatments
In many medical treatment
areas, including the use of HCG for weight loss, you will
often hear the term "off-label." When the FDA approves a
substance for medical purpose, it is for a very specific
use. That FDA-specific use is printed on the label. But the
FDA also allows physicians to use their own judgment for
newly discovered uses that were not originally included in
the FDA-approval specification. This is the nature of HCG
use in weight loss. The FDA does require the following to be
posted:
FDA
Disclaimer: “HCG has not been demonstrated to be an
effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of
obesity. There is no substantial evidence that it
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-restricted
diets.”
