			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="../../">Dr. Simeons</a> must have been an amazing guy. Because he undoubtedly came up with a fantastic way to <a href="https://www.hcgdietdirect.com/buy-hcg-diet/products/26-30-day-hcg-diet-kit-13.php">lose weight</a>. And he did it over 50 years ago. It was so effective that it almost immediately got the nickname the <a href="../../hcgdiettestimonials.html">cure for obesity</a>. And if you are in any way aware of the obesity problem that we are facing here in America you know that calling something a cure is really saying something.</p>
<p>Dr. Simeons&#8217; HCG injections <a href="http://www.hcgdietdirect.com/samplehcgdiet.html">weight loss plan </a>provided average daily weight loss of weight. And the average still stands. Today&#8217;s HCG dieting plans have a couple additional options. The HCG injections weight loss plan has some competition.</p>
<p>And the competition is coming directly from the homeopathic arena. The various homeopathic HCG  products are getting more and more popular. Mainstream medical practitioners often incorporate homeopathic treatments on top of the pharmaceutical solutions they prescribe. Homeopathy is popular due to its non-invasive nature as well as the price tags that make it more affordable than many other forms of treatment. Since homeopathic methods have been in use for centuries many feel more comfortable accessing these treatments because of the history attached to the homeopathic arena.</p>
<p>Some people think that homeopathic treatments and remedies are the most efficient form of treatment available at the moment. But then there are those who do not believe that homeopathic remedies have medical benefits at all. Any &#8220;benefits&#8221; that they see as a result of the use of homeopathic treatments are labled strictly &#8220;psychological&#8221; by these non-believers&#8230;and they are dismissed.</p>
<p>Believers in the advantages of homeopathic treatment have only to point out the obvious results, the history of use throughout time and the lack of known side effects to generate positive conclusions. Stubborn adversaries will continue to deny the advantages, but it is hard to convince those who are actually benefitting from treatment.</p>
<p>What people aren&#8217;t arguing about is how effecient the process is as a whole. Dr. Simeons was definitely on to something. And the weight loss industry is feeling the impact of his genius now more than ever. Why is that?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s probably due to the fact that while Dr. Simeons introduced his ally efficient method more than 50 years ago it was only recently made easily accesible to the general public. This new accessibility is due in large part to the introduction of homeopathic HCG weight loss plans and remedies that do not need a physician or a prescription, the more affordable price tag, and the availability for purchase online. These beneifts come along with the ,  weight loss that generated the interest in the first place.</p>
<p>The strictness of the diet is still the same. Dieters must stick to the rules if they want to experiene their maximum weight loss potential. They must avoid exercise (they&#8217;re not ingesting enough calories). They must limit their portion sizes. They must measure their food. They must stick to the approved list of foods. And they musty take their oral homeopathic HCG weight loss remedy. But in return they have access to weight of average daily weight loss.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to <a href="http://www.hcgdietdirect.com"> weight loss</a> there&#8217;s one term that is on everybody&#8217;s minds right now. And that one term that is on everybody&#8217;s minds is <a href="https://www.hcgdietdirect.com/buy-hcg-diet/">HCG</a>. The funny thing is that a lot of people who are thinking it don&#8217;t even know what it is. Some people think of homeopathic weight loss remedy/oral drops and other people think of HCG shots and other people have no mental picture at all they&#8217;re just focused on the daily weight loss averages that they&#8217;ve heard about (weight per day).</p>
<p>The actual definition of HCG is that its an abbreviation referring to human chorionic gonadotropin. It&#8217;s a natural element in the human body. It&#8217;s a glycoprotein and its most commonly known for its vital functions during pregnancy.</p>
<p>It maintains the production of progesterone during pregnancy. It is also known as an early indicator of pregnancy (HCG levels are actually what many pregnancy tests are measuring) and its possible effect on the immune tolerance of the pregnancy.</p>
<p>HCG as a <a href="https://www.hcgdietdirect.com/buy-hcg-diet/products/hcg-diet-recipe-guide-18.php">weight loss tool</a> was introduced by an endocrinologist named Dr. Simeons over 50 years ago. His protocol was later named the <a href="http://www.hcgdietdirect.com/hcg-diet/hcg-drops/how-does-the-hcg-obesity-cure-work/">obesity cure</a>. This name came about because of the  weight loss results that it offered. His protocol was based on a very strict diet in combination with HCG shots.</p>
<p>Throughout the past 50 years the program as presented by Dr. Simeons has evolved. This evolution has made it more accessible to the public. The incorporation of the HCG method into the science of homeopathy means no more HCG shots. The homeopathic HCG weight loss remedy that many refer to as oral drops provide the same weight loss averages as the original HCG shots.</p>
<p>The introduction of the homeopathic alternatives to the original HCG shots means that the  weight loss results are far more accessible to a wider group of people. Individuals who can&#8217;t afford daily office visits to ensure they get the required HCG shots are now able to access the program. And individuals who aren&#8217;t near a weight loss clinic or doctor&#8217;s office that offers HCG shots now have access to the  weight loss results. It&#8217;s cheaper, it&#8217;s easier, and it&#8217;s more accessible.</p>
<p>Convenience is prized in today&#8217;s society. It&#8217;s one of the reasons that modern society is having such a terrible problem with obesity (fast food and drive thrus are far too convenient for the good of the public). The accessibility of a good dieting program is therefore crucial. This makes the fact that homeopathic HCG dieting plans and programs are fully available online very important. It makes them a prized choice for  weight loss.</p>
<p>To get further info on the benefits of homeopathic HCG weight loss plans as well as to study up on the negative health consequences of being overweight or obese read medical statistics online. They make the need for weight loss VERY clear. And now that  weight loss possibilities can be delivered right to your front door&#8230;there&#8217;s no reason to avoid it anymore.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.hcgdietdirect.com/hcg-diet-news/hcg-diet-obesity-smoking.html">Obesity</a> has been under the microscope so to speak for over 50 years. Study upon study has added to the stockpile of information attempting to define, and understand the issue. One obvious connection that is often included in obesity studies is overeating. Early studies indicated that the reason for overeating lay solely at the door of <a href="http://www.hcgdietdirect.com/hcg-diet/hcg-drops/obesity-solution/">anxiety</a>.</p>
<p>Since these early study conclusions&#8230;many more studies have been undertaken and completed. While original research indicated that anxiety was the reason for overeating&#8230;it isn&#8217;t quite true. Anxiety is no longer accepted as the sole reason for overeating. The problem is much wider than that. There are more than one ways to fall victim to the issue.</p>
<p>Further studies conducted throughout the last several decades have led experts to believe that rather than anxiety&#8230;it is emotion that rules when it comes to <a href="http://www.hcgdietdirect.com">overeating</a>. At least this is true when the subjects being studied are obese individuals. This connection between emotion and overeating is apparent in both obese individuals seeking treatment and obese individuals not seeking treatment.</p>
<p>Overeating amongst the obese carries some definite characteristics. These defining characteristics include: a lack of real hunger, secrecy, high calorie/high fat &#8220;favorite&#8221; foods, etc. The &#8220;emotion&#8221; leading up to or causing the overeating vary from individual to individual. But they are often found amongst the following list: frustration, depression, stress, anger, boredom, loneliness, and anxiety.</p>
<p>Emotional distress seems to trigger overeating in obese individuals more than normal weight individuals according to study findings. Although coming up with accurate conclusions is difficult considering it is difficult to come up with an accurate &#8220;normal weight&#8221; control group for any obesity study. Studies typically utilize college students as their control participants so the socioeconomic variables are very limited when comparing the control group to an actual random selection of &#8220;normal weight&#8221; individuals.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hcgdietdirect.com/hcg-diet-library/hcg-and-obesity.html">New studies</a> continue to be undertaken in order to further understand the relationship between obesity and overeating. Emotional dependency on food is becoming more clearly defined with each additional study.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to the <a href="http://www.hcgdietdirect.com/hcg-diet-news/lowerincome-neighborhoods-suffer-most-from-rising-obesity-epidemic-19871518.html">obesity epidemic</a> that is literally dragging Americans down with sheer weight&#8230;it is impossible not to consider the negative effects of <a href="http://www.hcgdietdirect.com/hcg-diet-library/homeopathic-hcg-v-fast-food.html">fast food</a>. Americans love the convenience. Americans love time savers. And it would appear that Americans love grease and fat and oil. But that last could very well be a byproduct of the first two loves.</p>
<p>Because Americans loved the convenience and time saving qualities of fast food and drive thru&#8217;s&#8230;they have become addicted to the grease, fat and oil that the food provided in these locations provides in mass quantities. And Americans are no longer alone in the negative eating habits. As more countries become &#8220;Westernized&#8221; more cultures are experiencing the negative effects of chronic overweight and/or obesity.</p>
<p>In comparison to 20 years ago people in general are eating more. They are also replacing home cooking with fast food, dining out and prepackaged meals/snacks. All of these changes are resulting in  increases in the <a href="https://www.hcgdietdirect.com">risk of obesity</a>.</p>
<p>A great first step is to opt for eating out at a restaurant instead of a fast food operation. This will typically mean increased nutritional value, decreased serving size and lower calories. Individuals attempting to avoid common pitfalls leading to overweight and obesity should also avoid: snack foods, juice boxes and soda pop.</p>
<p>One simple way in which individuals can begin fighting their own battle against the obesity epidemic is to decrease portion size. Studies indicate that small, frequent meals throughout the day result in lower weights than 3 &#8220;square&#8221; meals a day. But in addition to this modern society is going to have to readjust their priorities ally. Time saving conveniences are great&#8230;but not at the risk of general health.</p>
<p>Many are taking it upon themselves to create better day to day eating habits in order to improve their general health. And many already suffering negative effects of obesity and/or overweight are taking it upon themselves to alleviate their health problems by undergoing  weight loss treatments like the newly accessible homeopathic <a href="https://www.hcgdietdirect.com/secured/products/*HCG-HOMEOPATHIC-DROPS%252d-26%252d30-DAY-SUPPLY-%282-oz%29.html">HCG weight loss programs.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many say that the <a href="http://www.hcgdietdirect.com/hcg-diet-news/antiobesity-fight-moves-to-state-legislatures-courts-.html">obesity epidemic</a> is due to biologic factors. This is a very important distinction because biologic factors are out of the control of individuals. They are determined by the basic genetic makeup of each person. Individuals who believe that the obesity epidemic is due to biologic factors are indicating that they believe no amount of dieting or increase in exercise can solve the problem.</p>
<p>On the other side of the argument there are those who believe that the obesity epidemic is mainly caused by cultural factors. This means that they believe that cultural issues and lifestyle choices determine weight. So according to this group changes in lifestyle choices could be the solution to the problem. There are a plethora of bad habits accepted in the US and changing these bad habits could result in <a href="http://www.hcgdietdirect.com"> weight loss</a>. And  weight loss can result in  improvements in general health.</p>
<p>One cultural factor that adds to the obesity epidemic is <a href="http://www.hcgdietdirect.com/hcg-diet/hcg-drops/understanding-hcg-diet-plans/">overeating</a>. Overeating in the US is obvious when statistics are considered. The production of food is out of whack in the US. The US produces far too much food. There is enough produced on a daily basis to provide 4,000 calories for every individual in the country (including children). This is, obviously far too much considering the basic daily allowances.</p>
<p>In 2002 a study was conducted that supports the cultural theory. Food and drink was carefully documented for all study participants. Activity and applicable psychological factors were also carefully documented. The results were surprising yet obvious.</p>
<p>The results of the 2002 study indicated that people who gain weight eat more and indulge in larger serving sizes. Those who believe in the biologic theory were surprised by the results because they believe that the genetic makeup plays a larger part in weight gain/loss than lifestyle choices. In contrast&#8230;the results were obvious because they basically concluded that gaining weight occurs when people eat too much. It&#8217;s a basic principle that many overlook due to its obvious nature.</p>
<p>So in accordance with the study&#8217;s conclusion the general health of the nation would experience  improvement if the citizens of the nation would only eat less. In addition, change would begin if only Americans would decrease their portion sizes on a day to day basis.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During an economic downturn people tend to tighten their fists. They hold on to their money more and they tend to lose interest in extra purchases. In the past this tight fisted nature reached throughout the weight loss industry. People just aren&#8217;t as interested in losing weight when they have finances to worry about; which is a shame because financial trouble leading to extreme stress is one reason cited by experts for weight gain in modern society.</p>
<p>So what is making the difference during the current economic downturn? Why are dieters still looking for <a href="http://www.hcgdietdirect.com">effective weight loss methods</a>? Why are these consumers still willing to spend money on weight loss when they are experiencing dramatic decreases in income?</p>
<p>This intent focus on weight loss even in the midst of economic struggle is due to several reasons.</p>
<p>1. There is an <a href="http://www.hcgdietdirect.com/hcg-diet-news/obesity-epidemic-is-strongly-linked-to-high-blood-pressure.html">obesity epidemic</a> in place and the public is very aware.</p>
<p>2. Modern cooking and eating habits are having a negative effect on general health and the public is very aware.</p>
<p>3. Drastic health predictions: Not only do people recognize the general negative effect on their day to day health, but they&#8217;ve been made very aware that obesity increases the risk for many common and deadly illnesses and diseases, decreases the average life span and lowers the quality of life indefinitely. Studies are published consistently that repeatedly support the conclusions that weight has long term negative effects.</p>
<p>4. Weight loss methods have been introduced that not only come with a reasonable price tag, but with reasonable time investments and homeopathic methods. More affordable options mean more people are willing to consider the options. And when consumers are able to find homeopathic HCG diet weight loss program coupon codes the options become even more affordable.</p>
<p>People do learn. It might take a while, but they do eventually recognize the warning signs. The general public is looking for ways to beat the obesity epidemic once and for all. It&#8217;s not an &#8220;extra&#8221; to be cut because it&#8217;s a serious problem that needs consistent input and counter action or it will continue to increase out of control.</p>
<p>The use of homeopathic HCG diet weight loss programs as a natural, weight loss method is continuing to rise in popularity. It&#8217;s by far the most effective weight loss method of its kind. It is non-invasive, affordable, and effective. Dieters discover their habits are easier to break than they realize as soon as they embark on the diet. Eating right, preparing healthy meals at home&#8230;it&#8217;s all a part of the game when it comes to weight loss and maintenance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.hcgdietdirect.com">homeopathic HCG diet weight loss program</a> in Arizona has proven very popular. Arizona is one of the states offering top sales results for HCG based diet companies. Some might ask why, but to me it&#8217;s obvious. What is Arizona known for?</p>
<p>Arizona is known for its amazing weather. Its unceasingly HOT summers. Its mild winters. It&#8217;s not strange to see families wandering around visiting in shorts and a tank top on Christmas Day. The weather just doesn&#8217;t get very cold.</p>
<p>So what does that have to do with dieting? It has a lot to do with <a href="https://www.hcgdietdirect.com/secured/">dieting</a>. The warmer it is outside the more uncomfortable it is to wear layers. The warmer it outside the less clothing people want to wear. And the less clothing people wear&#8230;the more aware they are of their body&#8217;s imperfections.</p>
<p>You might make it even clearer by saying the Arizona weather encourages (maybe even requires) people to run around in shorts and tank tops. You could move forward from there to say that shorts and tank tops on a regular basis encourages (maybe even requires) people to observe negative aspects of their body that they might not have noticed otherwise. And the final leap is that noticing the problem daily encourages (maybe even requires) that people do something to fix their negative body image. That&#8217;s what has created the basis for the popularity of the homeopathic HCG diet weight loss program in Arizona. It&#8217;s all natural and its effective. And it solves the problem without altering moods (like energy pills) or requiring a recovery period (like many invasive weight loss procedures).</p>
<p>Could the homeopathic HCG diet weight loss program in Arizona be a phase? It could be, but it&#8217;s not likely. It actually solves a real problem. And it&#8217;s not a recent phenomenon. It&#8217;s been around and in use for over 50 years. The overnight popularity is a phenomenon, but that&#8217;s a different story. The original diet was introduced as a cure for <a href="http://www.hcgdietdirect.com/hcg-diet/hcg-drops/hcg-obesity-testosterone-and-more/">obesity</a>. Arizonans see the diet as a cure for their discomfort in their own clothes and bodies during the heat. Poolside parties, picnics and outdoor barbeques are just not fun if you&#8217;re worried about how you look in your swimsuit.</p>
<p>So the homeopathic HCG diet weight loss program in Arizona is bound to continue to serve the large portion of the population that would enjoy the lack of a proper winter MUCH more if they could only lose 10, 20 maybe 50 pounds. The program&#8217;s limited time requirements (sometimes only 25 days) and <a href="http://www.hcgdietdirect.com/hcg-diet/tag/hcg-weight-loss-plan/">extreme weight loss results</a> (weight per day on average) continue to entice Arizonans to improve their quality of life by losing weight. And really the implementation of the program only benefits the community as it promotes the incorporation of healthy foods into daily diets as well as healthy cooking methods. And who knows? Maybe it will boost the economy. All those revitalized Arizonans with lighter, healthier, smaller bodies will need new swimsuits and maybe new wardrobes come spring time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The <a href="http://www.hcgdietdirect.com/" target="_blank">HCG diet</a> plan is based on principles of a branch of medicine known as endocrinology, which Dr. Albert Simeons conducted extensive research in this area over six decades ago. Endocrinology is the study of hormones, their function and the glands that secrete them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some of these glands are probably familiar to you. The pituitary and the thyroid, which control growth and metabolism, are probably the best known outside the medical profession. Certain hormones are also probably familiar to you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For example, if you enjoy parachuting and bungee jumping, you may very well be addicted to the hormone known as adrenaline. This biochemical substance is released by the adrenal gland when we feel as if we are in a life-threatening situation, heightening our perceptions and giving us the &#8220;energy rush&#8221; we need in order to fight or run.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are also sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen, which (among other things) trigger the development of &#8220;secondary sex characteristics&#8221; such as a low voice and body and facial hair in boys and breasts and menstruation in girls.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In essence, hormones are biochemical substances that control a range of bodily functions.<br />
HCG, or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, is one such hormone.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>The Functions of HCG</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The primary function of HCG is to protect the environment in which a fetus gestates, making certain that the uterus is healthy and that the mother&#8217;s system does not inadvertently interfere with the fetus&#8217; early development during the first trimester. Modern pregnancy tests are designed to detect the presence of HCG in a woman&#8217;s urine.  However is should be noted that homeopathic HCG will not result in a positive reading if placed on a pregnancy test.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In medicine and health care, HCG is used to treat fertility issues in both men and women by stimulating the production of sperm and eggs respectively. Most recently, it has been discovered that cancer cells excrete small amounts of HCG. This hormone is thus a potential marker that can help oncologists to detect the presence of tumors that might otherwise be difficult to diagnose.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>What Dr. Simeons Found</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong></strong></em>During the treatment of patients with pituitary gland dysfunction, which had caused extreme obesity, Dr. Simeons found that by administering injections of small amounts of the HCG hormone, these patients were able to lose weight when put on a low calorie diet. This was something that the low calorie diet alone was unable to achieve.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In later years, Dr. Simeons published his findings in a paper entitled Pounds and Inches – a New Approach to Obesity. That paper is available in .pdf format on our home page.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Picture anyone starving and you have pictured the effects of an extremely low calorie diet. These images give one a good idea of how a low calorie diet affects the human body. Knowing that, why would anyone in their right mind purposely restrict his or herself to such low levels called for by the <a href="http://www.hcgdietdirect.com/" target="_blank">HCG diet</a> plan?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you know anything about how HCG works, you understand that such a low calorie diet is necessary. But you also know that the presence of this remarkable hormone prevents one from wasting away, preserving muscle mass and good health despite the starvation level of calories.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Not only that but those who follow the HCG Diet Direct weight loss protocols carefully, normally feel very little in the way of hunger or deprivation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Dr. Simeons&#8217; Research and What It Revealed</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dr. Albert T.W. Simeons was an endocrinologist. This is the branch of medicine that deals with the system of &#8220;ductless&#8221; glands that among other functions produce hormones, proteins that are involved with intercellular communications and therefore control many of our physiological processes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The primary function of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, or HCG, is to protect the developing fetus during gestation. It accomplishes this in two ways:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">(1)    HCG prevents the mother&#8217;s body from stealing nutrients or feeding off the fetus<br />
(2)    it suppresses the mother&#8217;s immune system, preventing rejection</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The second possibility stems from the fact that that the presence of the father&#8217;s DNA could trigger an immune response from the mother.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In pregnant women, the hormone plays a large part in maintaining the health of the fetus. While working in India during the 1930s and 1940s, Dr. Simeons determined that HCG helped prevent the mother&#8217;s system from robbing the fetus of nutrients in the event she was experiencing starvation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While studying thyroid patients in India during the 1930s and 1940s, Dr. Simeons found that treatment with HCG injections could actually result in weight loss in these patients. He then came to some startling conclusions about the nature of obesity and fat.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>The Real Causes</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dr. Simeons finally realized that there is no one single cause of obesity; rather, excess fat is the result of a number of different factors, all of which were related to genetics and evolutionary tendencies as well as the impact of agriculture on the human diet.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Agriculture changed the human diet in two ways: it introduced new foods into the human diet that had not been available previously, and the labor demands of the farm forced humans into new, unnatural patterns of eating. In the first place, humans began eating grains, legumes and dairy products that would not have been available in nature. In the second, humans were forced to abandon their earlier pattern of nibbling small amounts over the course of a day and take in large amounts at set times.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">HCG, when combined with a low calorie diet, resets and restores metabolic balance, which in turn causes unwanted pounds to disappear almost effortlessly. To learn more about the physiological mechanisms involved, use the search function to find articles and posts on how HCG works with your own body&#8217;s natural tendencies instead of fighting them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.hcgdietdirect.com/" target="_blank">HCG Diets</a> have been much in the news in recent years, but in fact, they have been around since the 1950s, when endocrinologist and HCG weight loss pioneer Dr. A.T.W. Simeons began publishing his startling research on the nature of obesity.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>The Making of an Endocrinologist</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dr. Simeons was a graduate of the University of Heidelberg Medical School in the 1920s. He chose endocrinology as his specialty, which in turn led to a fascination with tropical diseases such as malaria, dengue fever and leprosy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Simeons spent several years working at a hospital in Hamburg where the diagnosis and treatment of such diseases were the focus. In 1928, Simeons went to central Africa in order to study these diseases in their own environment. Following this, he accepted a post in India, where he spent most of the next two decades.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">During his time working in a Mumbai hospital, Dr. Simeons was able to do intensive research into the effects of undernourishment  on pregnant women as well as patients who because of a defective thyroid gland had gained a great deal of weight. While these might not seem to have any connection, Dr. Simeons came to two startling conclusions:</p>
<ul>
<li>The primary function of HCG was to protect the fetus, preventing the starving mother’s system from leeching nutrients</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Administering low doses of this hormone to morbidly obese patients caused them to actually lose their excess fat.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dr. Simeons believed that this excess fat, known as adipose, was a kind of &#8220;fuel reserve&#8221; that was locked up in a usable form should the person experience a &#8220;nutritional emergency.&#8221; What happens instead, he wrote in 1954, &#8220;is that someone suffering from obesity who attempts weight loss through a low calorie diet will first lose lean muscle tissue, followed by protective visceral fat.&#8221;  That &#8220;&#8230;only as a last resort will the Body yield its abnormal reserves,&#8221; adding that &#8220;by that time the patient usually feels so weak and hungry that the diet is abandoned.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is the tragedy of those who repeatedly attempt low calorie diets that invariably fail</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>The Role of HCG</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dr. Simeons concluded that when HCG is reintroduced into the adult system, it recalibrates the hypothalamus gland – the part of the brain than regulates metabolic processes. It helps to unlock adipose deposits, making them available as a fuel source when calories are not otherwise available – as when eating a low calorie diet.</p>
