The HCG diet plan is a vast improvement over other kinds of low calorie diet plans. Why should this be? The primary reason is that under Dr. Simeons’ protocols using HCG, you hold on to your lean muscle tissue and protective visceral fat while getting rid of the unsightly excess fat deposits around the belly and hips – an unnatural and normally difficult to get rid of form of fat known as adipose.
The secret lies in how HCG works.
Where Adipose Comes From
Dr. A.T.W. Simeons came to the conclusion that adipose was an unnatural phenomenon that was due largely to a combination of genetics and the dramatic change that agriculture brought to the natural human lifestyle. Adipose deposits are the result of three major causes:
- evolution (as a survival mechanism)
- genetics (a trait passed on from parent to offspring)
- agriculture (eating patterns and new foods)
Let’s take a look at these one at a time.
Darwin Had a Point
While it may seem counter-intuitive that Nature would come up with a survival technique that ultimately undermines our health, keep in mind that Nature does not always select the best solution. She will go with virtually any solution.
When early proto-humans and apes went their separate ways some 4-8 million years ago, this split was largely due to geologic events that cut them off from the rainforest and confined them to a hot, dry savannah where food sources were unreliable. The humans most likely to survive were those who could store life-giving fat against lean times.

If prehistoric statues of full-breasted, large hipped women are any indication, it is likely that fat women were considered desirable mates during the Stone Age. This is still true in many parts of Africa and the South Pacific islands. When such women are preferred mates, guess what happens with their children and grandchildren?
New Foods, New Demands
Agriculture is a relatively recent phenomenon – and it not only introduced many new foods into the human diet, it changed our normal eating patterns. It forced us to “chow down” at widely-spaced intervals, instead of nibbling as we needed to.
The body has to do something with those excess calories.
