When reintroduced into the human body, HCG triggers you own body’s innate fat-burning mechanism by restoring balance to endocrine systems that have been thrown out of balance by the nature of modern life, culture, diet, genetics and a host of other factors.

According to Dr. Simeons…

In today’s “blame-the-victim” culture, it is popular to attribute obesity to personal weakness, gluttony and poor self-control. However, Dr. Simeons realized that obesity is a complex issue with many different causes, which range from psychological and social factors to genetics and even pathologies. In 1954, he wrote that:

“…every ounce of abnormally accumulated fat is always the result
of the same disorder of certain regulatory mechanisms. Persons
suffering from this particular disorder will get fat regardless of whether
they eat excessively, normally or less than normal. A person who is
free of the disorder will never get fat, even if he frequently overeats.”
(From Pounds and Inches, 1954)

He also noted that in some cultures, obesity was “considered a sign of health and prosperity in man and of beauty, amorousness and fecundity in women.” Over the course of the centuries, natural selection made a certain percentage of the population genetically predisposed to be overweight.

Yet another factor lies in our modern eating patterns of taking large meals at widely-spaced intervals:

“The whole structure of man’s omnivorous digestive tract is, like that
of an ape, rat or pig, adjusted to the continual nibbling of tidbits. It is
not suited to occasional gorging as is, for instance, the intestine of the
carnivorous cat family. Thus the institution of regular meals, particularly
of food rendered [digested] ly, placed a great burden on modern
man’s ability to cope with large quantities of food suddenly pouring into
his system from the intestinal tract.” (Simeons, 1954)

Not All Fat Is the Same

In his research, Dr. Simeons identified three distinct types of fat:

• Structural, or visceral fat: this is a type of fat that cushions and protects the internal organs and is embedded in the soles of the feet, allowing us to walk upright

• Normal reserve fat: this is stored in small amounts throughout the body, providing and readily-available energy when needed

• Abnormal Fat: this is the fat that accumulates around the abdomen, hips and thighs, and is the most difficult to get rid of.

It is the third form of fat that HCG treatments target. You might visualize this type of fat as stocks, bonds and property that may represent real wealth – but is not terribly useful in the event of an emergency that requires ready cash.

HCG is like “liquidating” these assets, making them readily available for your energy needs when you are on a restricted-calorie diet as specified in Dr. Simeons’ protocols.

This does not happen on the HCG program however. The key lies in how HCG changes your metabolic processes, forcing your body to burn excess fat from the beginning instead of muscle tissue.

It’s Unnatural

Contrary to popular judgmental wisdom, fat is not about laziness or lack of “will power.”

In fact, virtually nobody chooses to be fat, any more than they choose to be white or black, gay or straight, short or tall.  According to Dr. Simeons’ research, obesity is the result of many complex variables. Some of these are genetic in nature; others are due to the modern lifestyle, including food choices and eating patterns imposed upon us by agriculture.

For example, did you know that hunting-gathering peoples do not normally eat grains and legumes or dairy products? These are plants that normally must be cultivated. For the first 90,000 years or so, they did not exist in the human diet. Like their simian relatives (chimpanzees and gorillas), Stone Age humans ate tree fruit, wild root vegetables, eggs and meat. The human digestive system was simply not designed for many agricultural products we take for granted today.

This said, there is archaeological evidence to suggest that larger women were considered desirable in later Stone Age cultures. This is still true in many parts of Africa and Polynesia. Such women are viewed as more fertile and able to bear strong offspring. Such genetic traits would naturally be passed on to children.

Finally, there is the subject of eating patterns. In nature, all primates (including humans) are browsers who nibble on small amounts of food over the course of the day. This kind of eating is not possible in an agricultural society due to the intensive labor demands. Humans were forced to eat occasional meals at set times, ingesting more calories that they required for immediate metabolic needs. Those extra calories wind up being stored around the abdomen and on the hips as adipose.

HCG Unlocks The Energy

Adipose is a rich source of energy and nutrients, much like whale blubber that sustains Inuit people in Arctic regions. However, adipose is not readily available to humans as an energy source when calories are reduced. This is why humans normally “waste away” on a low calorie diet. With HCG, Dr. Simeons’ diet makes adipose readily available for metabolism by reprogramming the hypothalamus. On the HCG program, when you restrict yourself to Dr. Simeons’ low calorie diet, the hypothalamus obtains the extra calories from adipose, not lean muscle tissue. It’s that simple!
