Dr. A.T.W Simeons has discovered that the hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin(HCG) can be used for treating obesity in men and women. He suggested a protocol viz. Simeons’ protocol. This is a complete guide to weight loss programme with HCG. The protocol suggests three phases.
The first phase is the loading phase when the dieter is given high calorie diet so that he may not feel weaker in the later periods.
The second phase is called the maintenance period, when the dieter is kept under strict diet control. With 500 calorie diet, he has to take HCG doses regularly.
The third phase is known as the stabilization phase. During this phase, dieter returns to his normal diet. He stops taking HCG. Yet, he is advised not to consume too much calorie at a time. He may slowly and gradually incorporate various food items to his diet chart.
