hCG – Where does it come from?

HCG or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is a naturally produced hormone, most commonly found in pregnant women. Medical research has shown that this hormone regulates the metabolic function during pregnancy. HCG helps in converting a pregnant woman’s abdominal fat to calories, which is then used by the baby in the womb. This process stimulates the metabolism of the mother.

hCG for Weight Loss seems to be all the Rage!

Diet Doc is a modern, aggressive, medically supervised weight loss program that is easy and flexible, and the results are lasting. The physicians at Diet Doc believe that a weight loss program should not only be safe and effective, but delicious and individualized as well. The Diet Doc HCG weight loss program was developed by a team of physicians who are skilled in the sciences of nutrition and weight loss.

HCG for Weight loss – How successful is it really?

When the HCG hormone is injected or taken orally the excess fat stored in the body gets released and utilized for energy. When HCG is used in conjunction with the Diet Doc Weight Loss Program, patients experience safe and rapid weight loss while feeling an increase in energy, decrease in appetite, better sleeping habits, and clearer thought processes.

One of the initial efforts to address the inherent complexities of weight loss was made over 50 years ago by Dr. A.T.W. Simeons in Rome, Italy. He used very small amounts of HCG coupled with a very low calorie diet of 500 calories a day to help patients lose weight without feeling hungry. At the time, he did not know how or why this occurred, he simply observed the results. Dr. Simeons first published his findings in 1954.

Due to safety concerns inherent with the severe restriction of Dr. Simeons 500 calorie diet, our physicians at Diet Doc have chosen to focus on the restriction of high glycemic carbohydrates. Typically, the physicians at Diet Doc will prescribe a fully personalized low calorie diet of between 850-1250 calories a day. Additionally, our Diet Doc physicians offer support products including protein shakes, thermogenic MCT oil, and a muscle aid supplement. All of these products were created to maximize fat loss while protecting muscle mass and improving the patient’s overall health.
