HCG Diet Weight LossRecently resurrected by Kevin
Trudeau, interest in the HCG has seen growing
popularity.
HCG, also known as Human Chorionic
Gonadotropin, is a hormone produced by a developing placenta
during pregnancy. Dr.
A.T.W. SIMEONS penned the research paper called “Pounds &
Inches” and discussion about a weight loss method utilizing
HCG hormone and low calorie diets.
Traditionally, low calorie diet, i.e. those diets below
1000 cal per day, was difficult because of the severe hunger
cravings. Through
hundreds of patients and years of observation, endocrinologist,
Dr. A.T.W. SIMEONS promoted the use of HCG injections in a 3
phase weight loss program. During the 1960s the Simeon HCG Diet
was not endorsed by the AMA and the FDA did not approve of its
promotion it as a weight loss cure.
Dr.
Simeon’s paper, “Pounds & Inches” discussed obesity at
length and possible theories for weight loss promotion.
His 3 phase weight loss program included liver cleanse,
low calorie diet assisted with low dose HCG injections, followed
by a maintenance diet comprised of organic foods.
His assertions discussed the neuroendocrine pathways as
well as peripheral fat storage metabolism signaling.
He asserted that the diencephalon and hypothalamus were
involved in a patient’s satiety pathways, and the HCG helped
curb the drastic cravings incurred with low calorie diet
restrictions. He
also asserts that when the low calorie restriction was not
followed, and increase calories were ingested that the opposite
of weight loss could occur.
Simeons noted that the low dose, 200 unit max HCG,
injections could only be administered daily for a maximum of 40
days and then a break needed to occur.
If no break occurred then an immune reaction could occur.
Much has been
published on HCG, weight loss, and dieting, including continuing
scientific debates about its effectiveness and potential side
effects. The
Internet also is full of patient testimonials asserting the
effectiveness of HCG complimented diet programs. To this date
the topic remains controversial and any patient wishing to
utilize HCG for weight loss should only do so under a the
supervision of a medical professional
