Dr. A.T.W. Simeons
The first report on the use of HCG for management of obesity was published in 1954 by the late Dr. A.T.W. Simeons, a British Physician practicing in Rome. While working in India, he noticed that the so-called obese boys who showed Adiposogenital dystrophy (syndrome involving impaired function of the pituitary and hypothalamus) had improvement in their undescended testis when treated with HCG. He also observed that body fat distribution modified during the course of treatment. Therefore he hypothesized that if those children were concomitantly submitted to a very Hypocaloric diet they could reduce their body weight, consuming the "fat on the move".
"There are certain medical issues, such as problems with individual biochemistry and metabolism that can cause one to pack on pounds. Of the 65 percent of the population who are overweight, there are a portion of those people who are weight-loss resistant. If you are among that category, know that these medical conditions are studied, and there are ways to correct them."
-The Hypothalamus
Below is information from Dr Simeons studies on HCG:
We all have a small gland deep within our brain called the hypothalamus. This is a vital part of the body which controls all our autonomatic functions, including breathing, heart beat, digestion, sleep and the complicated functions of the endocrine (hormone) system. Included in these endocrine functions is the regulation and control of metabolism and weight.
Dr. Simeons identified three separate fat stores in the body; Structural, Normal, and Abnormal. Structural fat pads the various organs, protects the arteries and cushions the bony prominences. Normal fat is a bank from which the body can easily draw energy. Abnormal fat is a bank, much like a savings account, where fat is stored and basically locked away. This fat is very difficult to lose via exercise and calorie restriction. HCG mobilizes and eliminates these fat stores.
Normally when we cut back our calorie and fat intake, our bodies will in fact store fat and our metabolism slow down. This happens because fat is really a life-saving source of stored energy. When a very low calorie diet is employed with HCG, the body is signaled to use the fat that is stored for energy or for elimination.
Because HCG mobilizes fat and makes it available to the body as an energy source, it naturally reduces appetite. So, even though you are consuming fewer calories, your body is able to access the energy you have stored. Most people have plenty of energy and feel good while on the program.
HCG works to mobilize fat for utilization by the body only when there is a significant decrease in calories and fat. A starvation state must exist for HCG to work. For weight loss, we use a very low calorie diet to trigger HCG to help rid the body of Abnormal fat.
