You may be surprised to learn that HCG itself does not burn fat or cause weight loss! HCG treatments are made up of several components that include reduction of calories and specific menu choices, collectively known as Dr. Simeons’ protocols, which were developed over half a century ago as the result of twenty years of research and experimentation.

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] rapidly, 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 quick 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.
