The HCG Dr. Simeons diet was created, as the name suggests, by Dr. Simeons, who developed the diet after years of observation and treatment of overweight and obese patients. In his time, HCG was administered solely by injections. Oral HCG is a much more recent development. But other than that small modification in the plan, most of what Dr. Simeons had to say in his original protocol is still adhered to by HCG dieters today.
Dr. Simeons’ Discovery
Dr. Simeons made some fascinating discoveries in regard to the nature of the body’s storage and usage of fat. He concluded that there are normal fat deposits, which all people should have, and there are abnormal deposits, which are a symptom of latent obesity even in people who are not currently obese. He determined that obesity was actually a disease in which the body refused to use certain stores of fat, which was why people who suffered from it could be skeletal from the waist up and severely overweight from the waist down.
These people would try desperately to lose that abnormal, disproportionate weight and only ever succeed in ridding their bodies of needed fat, such as the fat on the heels of the feet. They would then complain of unbearable heel pain, which only manifested itself upon standing or walking. As soon as weight was off of the heels, they were fine.
As it turned out, their bodies had burned the fat that normally resides on the heels to cushion the bones. We need this fat! Otherwise, of course putting any kind of weight on our feet would be painful! But the illogic of bodily functioning that causes obesity preferred to burn that necessary fat rather than its beloved unnecessary hoard.
HCG Burns the Right Fat
So what did Dr. Simeons determine was to be done? Give them HCG. But if the purpose of HCG is to burn fat, how would it help restore the fat on the bottom of the heel? Because it burns the unnecessary fat and causes the fat the body needs to redistribute itself in a normal manner. Essentially, it resets the body’s fat meters.
