User:Knightking1/HCG Diet

The HCG Diet is a diet created by British endocrinologist Dr. A.T.W. Simeons. Dr. Simeons believed that obesity was a disease or disorder that could be treated with a strict protocol that would solve the obese person condition. He believed this disorder was caused by a breakdown of a regulating mechanism located in the diencephalon, or hypothalamus which he refers to as the fat-regulating center. The method of treatment he defines in his publication called "Pounds & Inches - A New Approach to Obesity"[1] requires the patient to adhere to, without alteration, a strict very low calorie diet with daily injections of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG).
