Dr. Simeons, who created the HCG diet, believed that obesity was a disease. He believed that people who are obese have a malfunction in their bodies that causes an abnormal tendency to hoard fat. The HCG treatments are thus intended to cure this disease.
This condition differs from that of people who are overweight but can control their weight, losing when they diet and gaining only when they overindulge too much.
When You Do Everything Right…With No Luck
Truly obese people sometimes don’t eat much at all. They frequently engage in fruitless efforts to diet. The diets result in muscle loss and loss of the fat that pads bones and organs. This fat loss only causes pain. They might literally be starving, but their bodies will not release the needed fat. It goes against what we always thought we knew about weight loss, doesn’t it?
Forget Health! A Sad Outcome
Low self-esteem, even emotions so extreme as to be termed self-hatred, can lead to negative reactions to this intense frustration. Since they can’t seem to lose weight, people might become obsessed with gaining weight instead, just to see how big it’s possible to get. It’s like the neglected child who will take any attention he can draw to himself, negative or positive. We want to feel good about our bodies, but if that doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen, we’ll settle for feeling as bad as we can.
Killing Yourself Slowly
Of course, this method is both self-destructive and dangerous. The heavier you are the more at risk you are for any number of health problems. Cancer, diabetes, and heart disease are just a few of the issues that could develop. Quality of life plummets. You have no energy and breathing can be difficult. Getting around, whether down the hall or to the store, is awkward and tedious, to say the least.
So before you decide to take any measures, effectively cutting off your nose to spite your face, try the HCG diet. It might just be the cure for the disease we call obesity.
