HCG:  Only for the Rich and Famous

Well, when Dr. Simeons developed the HCG diet, it was only available via injections at exclusive and expensive weight loss clinics.  Basically, it was only for the rich and famous, since they were the only ones who could afford it and who had access to these clinics.

If you ever wondered how they manage to stay looking so good, then there you have it.  Clearly, they didn’t want their secret getting out.  Nevertheless, get out it has.

What Made HCG Less Exclusive?

So what’s changed?  Why is HCG now available to normal people like you and me?  Well, for one thing, it’s now available in homeopathic liquid form, administered via dropper under your tongue.  Sound more pleasant than injections?  I agree!  You can get it online, and you don’t need a prescription, although it’s always good to consult with your doctor before starting any new diet plan.

Why HCG?

HCG is very safe in general and it is especially safe in this homeopathic oral form.  The percentage that you’re putting into your body is very small, yet very effective.  It doesn’t react with other medications or supplements, and it prevents your body from going into the starvation mode that frequently occurs with other low-calorie diets.

HCG occurs naturally in human tissue, so our bodies know what to do with it. However, our bodies are not able to make more, once our lifetime supply is gone.  Modern chemicals used in foods tend to make it go away sooner than in the days of ole.

Since HCG works with the hypothalamus gland to tell the body when to use and when to store fat, once we’ve lost our natural supply, it’s harder for our bodies to effectively perform that function, which could explain the obesity problem currently being faced by our society.  The HCG diet could be the cure.

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.

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!
