HCG DIET & WEIGHT LOSS

hCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, a hormone naturally produced by the placenta in pregnant women and which almost completely controls the metabolic function through the hypothalamus throughout pregnancy. Men will not develop female characteristics, such as ‘man boobs’ from the hCG diet; in fact, it stimulates more testosterone production in men and is highly specific to men’s health needs.

Dr. A. T. W. Simeons first introduced his weight loss program in the 1950’s, but it did not gain acceptance in America until decades later. As a result of his research, today many Americans are aware of his diet. Dr. Simeons discovered that by using bio-identical hormones, which exist naturally in the body, in combination with a very-low-calorie-diet (VLCD) extra fat deposits would be forced into the bloodstream and burned as energy.

hCG has many health and wellness benefits. Many of our dieting patients who have diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol see a significant improvement in these chronic medical conditions as they lose weight.

Many dieters have tried many other diets with limited success most often regaining the lost weight within months after discontinuing it. We have seen these same patients report losing fat from areas of their body that they have never been able to lose from before, while having more energy and less hunger than with other VLCDs. With rapid weight loss you normally experience loss in muscle and not fat, which can result in sagging or loose skin. However, with this diet you will maintain your muscle mass and lose only fat.
