The hCG diet was developed by Albert T.W. Simeons, MD, based on his obesity research and seemingly extensive experience using the hormone successfully.

hCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin, is a hormone that is produced by the placenta during pregnancy—the same hormone that is used as a marker in home pregnancy tests. Its function, at least in part, is to support fetal development by assuring that energy is maximally mobilized so that it is available to the growing fetus. It seems to do this by affecting the structures of the diencephalon, a part of the primitive brain that controls automatic functions in the body. Fat metabolism and storage is one of its main functions.

Benefits of the HCG Diet Include:

• Improved Metabolic Function
• Energy Increase
• Healthy Weight Reduction
• Lower Cholesterol
• Preserved Muscle Integrity
