Many Americans can't lose weight because they are burning calories from the wrong type of fat.
There are three types of fat: structural, normal and abnormal fat. Abnormal fat is the excessive accumulations and fixed deposits of fat throughout the body. When exercising or dieting, the body only consumes the normal fat reserves, not able to access the abnormal accumulations. The hCG diet can specifically target the abnormal fat. The typical patient loses 1 to 3 pounds of fat per day.
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, or HCG, is the pregnancy hormone that is produced by the embryo soon after conception. HCG has also been credited for providing enhancement of a woman's immune system while pregnant. However, 50+ years of Medical Research & worldwide usage has found that HCG has a tremendous effect in a medically monitored weight loss program.
For years doctors have used hCG Therapy to treat infertility in women, as well as to increase sperm count in men.
Research has shown through in depth studies that hCG has a value for weight loss. It burns abnormal/brown body fat when accompanied by a healthy low calorie diet. Other positive effects associated with hCG Therapy include: No bad moods. No headaches. No weakness

 
The HCG Diet
    Diet Techniques doctors never learned. The schools are to blame, no time is spent on weight loss patient care in US Medical Schools. At American Physicians through extensive research we have put together what we feel are the safest, fastest techniques to help you fight this American epidemic of obesity.

 Advantages of The Oral HCG Method

No bad moods. No headaches. No weakness.

Drastically reducing your caloric intake almost necessarily brings unwanted side effects. Irritability, headaches and feelings of weakness are the most common of these side effects, and these side effects make it almost impossible for most people to maintain the discipline a low calorie diet requires, even if the weight loss is great.

The use of Oral HCG during treatment not only affects where you lose weight, but also how you feel while doing it.

HCG is believed to generate endorphins in the human body, and these endorphins generate feelings of well being, increased energy and increase your ability to focus, making the Oral hCG Method not only effective in its results, but also in its process.

During treatment with Oral HCG, you will be able to continue an active lifestyle, including exercise (although exercising is not a condition for achieving results). You will feel energized and in good moods, and will not experience hunger pangs.

The advantages of the Oral HCG Method can be summarized in the following points:

It's RAPID: The Oral hCG Method delivers an average weight loss of 8 kilos every four weeks (17.6 lbs), with no recovery of weight in the period following treatment. This speed allows patients to visualize results almost immediately, acting as a strong motivator to strictly adhere to the treatment.

Focused weight loss and modeling of body contour: The Oral HCG Method delivers important weight loss, but as a differentiating factor vs. other weight loss treatments using Very Low Calorie Diets (VLCDs), most of the weight loss is concentrated on localized subcutaneous fat, particularly in those areas where there is greater concentration. Structural fat, necessary to maintain a healthy body and muscular mass is not affected: As a consequence, the proportion of body fat to muscle changes radically, making the metabolic process more efficient and reducing possibilities of the well known “rebound effect.” Additionally, a positive effect is produced on skin tissues, which become more elastic and accompany the loss in body weight, assuring a harmonious corporal contour. Loose, sagging skin is not evidenced, even when weight loss is notorious (more than 20 kilos.)

There are No side effects: The use of HCG has not demonstrated negative side effects in any of its approved utilities, nor in use with the Oral hCG Method. Additionally, double blind studies and clinical results of patients undergoing treatment with Oral hCG have shown that patients present high levels of energy, good mood, absence of headaches, and lack of hunger and anxiety.

Constant Medical Supervision: The Oral HCG Method insures patients a continuous follow up and supervision by a trained medical professional. The possibility of constant exchange with the medical professional helps patient motivation and allows them to maintain a constant course of treatment, increasing effectiveness. Because HCG is a prescription medicine, all treatments with hCG should be supervised by a licensed physician.

Reduction of arterial pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and lipodystrophies: Because weight loss is concentrated in abnormal fatty deposits, treatment under the Oral hCG Method delivers increased reduction of risk factors associated to obesity and overweight in patients

American Physicians Wellness bases their hCG medical weight loss program on the extensive research of the world-renowned physician Dr. ATW Simeons.

Dr. Simeons found that when a specific low calorie diet is followed, hCG can help safely speed up weight loss.  hCG is a natural hormone which stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin.  hCG is believed to break down your abnormal body fat, causing you to lose inches. At the same time, it protects your body's good fat and muscle from depleting. That means that you can go on a low calorie food plan and lose weight without the typical problems such as muscle loss and sagging skin.

While on the hCG protocal, we may provide prescription FDA approved appetite suppressants to assist with compliance but they are rarely needed.

Normally these medications are used instead of hCG and through a different mechanism these give you enhanced success by curbing your appetite therefore making it easier to eat the right food in the correct proportions for success.  In addition we also use natural weight loss alternatives and enhancers. These products help to jump start your metabolism, burn more calories, reduce body fat, and block carbohydrates from being stored as fat, so if it becomes necessary to add these medications, vitamins and herbals to the hCG protocol they positively improve compliance and outcome.

History of HCG

Described first over 60 years ago, the use of small amounts of the natural hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in combination with a low-calorie, low-fat diet was shown to be effective in losing weight rapidly in books and published studies. Injectible hCG is approved by the FDA for use in infertility, but has never been approved by the FDA for weight loss, however studies document thousands of successful dieters over several decades. The success my instructor has seen in his practice mirrors the success seen in the landmark 1972 study by Asher and Harper, where subjects lost nearly 20 pounds in their first 4-5 weeks on the diet. What is most remarkable is the high percentage of fat loss

And new research has been done using hCG in a sublingual preparation. Study patients, many of whom could not lose on any other diet, lost 30-50 pounds on hCG with approximately 80% of the weight loss being PURE FAT according to body composition analysis testing. Experts now believe that these low doses of hCG preserve lean muscle mass while aiding in the selective burning of fat when used with a low-calorie diet. The hCG may also trigger receptors in the brain for endorphins. This is the receptor that causes a feeling of fullness and satisfaction after exercise, therefore remarkably most patients had very little hunger while on the very low calorie diet leading to nearly perfect  patient compliance and success.

Now the diet is very intense, and certain people should not do this diet:

1. People with severe high blood pressure.

2. Diabetics.

3. People who have heart disease or history of heart attack.

4. People who currently have cancer.

5. Other major diseases of the liver, kidneys.

What is hCG?

hCG is the acronym for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, a substance produced by the placenta  during pregnancy in huge amounts. It was discovered by Ascheim and Zondek in the urine of pregnant women, back in 1927.  hCG is one of the substances that regulate metabolism during pregnancy.

After its discovery, scientists tried to find a name for this substance, and when they observed that the administration of hCG helped to provoke ovulation in experimentation animals, they named their discovery Gonadotropin, that means it has an action on gonads (testicles or ovaries) and Chorionic because later it was found  hCG was produced by the Chorion of the placenta.

Why should we use a "pregnancy" substance for obesity treatment?

This was the great discovery from a British Physician, Dr. ATW Simeons:

The first report on the use of hCG for the management of obesity was published in 1954 by the late Dr. ATW Simeons, a British Physician practicing at the Ospedale Salvatori Mundii in Rome.

Working in India, he noticed that the so-called "fat boys," who showed Adiposogenital dystrophy improved their undescended testis when they were treated with hCG. But he also observed that body fat distribution modified during the treatment course. Therefore he hypothesized that if those children were concomitantly submitted to a very Hypocaloric diet they could reduce their body weight, consuming the "fat on the move".

Later on, he extended his investigations to patients showing different degrees of obesity, and concluded that hCG might be useful for the treatment of obesity because;

• Patients tolerated a Very Low Calorie Diet without suffering headaches irritability, weakness, so common to this approach for weight reduction. Maintenance period after treatment was more effective when compared with simple dietetic procedures.

• Weight reductions were more satisfactory than those obtained with Standard Hypocaloric Diets

• Patients lost more body fat (measured in centimeters) from those regions where adipose tissue accumulations were more conspicuous.

• He hypothesized that hCG acted at diencephalic level, modulating hypothalamic regulatory Centers, which were in turn responsible for the excessive fat accumulation as seen in obesity.

Quoting Dr. ATW Simeons

"The hCG+diet method can bring relief to every case of obesity, but the method is not simple. It is very time-consuming and requires perfect cooperation between physician and patient."

"Each case must be handled individually, and the physician must have time to answer questions, allay fears and remove misunderstandings. He must also check the patient daily."

"When something goes wrong he must at once investigate until he finds the reason for any gain that may have occurred." In most cases it is useless to hand the patient a diet-sheet and let the nurse give him, "a shot".

The action of Chorionic Gonadotrophin in the obese

At American Physicians Weight Loss your doctor designes your hCG Weight Loss Program specifically for you.  Whether you decide to use IM hCG (injections) or our proprietary ORAL formulation, you work directly with your doctor every step of the way.

If this hCG diet works so well then, Why all the controversy regarding hCG in obesity treatment?

When Dr. Simeons published his discoveries in the Lancet, back in 1954, obesity was considered a matter of aesthetics, and obesity treatments were confined to the simple indication of "keeping the mouth shut".

After its publication, many Physicians from all over the world flocked to Dr. Simeons Hospital to get information on the treatment at first hand. Unfortunately, some of them were guided only by profits, and when returning to their Countries they setup the so called "Fat Clinics", mushrooming everywhere. As a consequence of an improper management of the method, complications were reported.

Let the Experts at American Physicians guide you through your last diet.
