The History of HCG & Weight Loss

During clinical work in the early 1950s, Dr. ATW Simeons, a British endocrinologist, pioneered the theory of using hCG to help people lose weight and abnormal belly fat.

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, or hCG, is comprised of 244 amino acids.  It is produced in large amounts in a pregnant woman’s placenta, extracted from her urine, and historically used, in part, for the treatment of infertility in females to help induce ovulation.  When males are given much lower doses than would be given to a female for infertility,  hCG acts as a precursor to increase low testosterone levels.

While treating adolescent boys’ low testosterone levels with hCG,  Dr. Simeons observed they began to slim down and began losing abnormal belly fat.  Knowing that hCG positively affects the hypothalamus gland, he hypothesized this gland was responsible, in part, for the regulation of normal and abnormal fat.

Over the next 10 years, Simeons experimented with specific amounts of hCG and specific foods.  He proved that when both the correct amount of hCG and his food plan were followed as he had designed, both males and females had the ability to lose extraordinary amounts of abnormal fat in relatively short periods of time than with just diet and exercise alone.

As word spread about Dr. Simeons work with hCG and dieting, Doctors and other Health Care Professionals from around the world traveled to Rome to learn more about his work.  Due to this extraordinary interest, in 1967 he published Pounds and Inches, a New Approach to Obesity to help Health Care Professionals and lay people alike, better understand his findings.  Following his publication, so-called “Fat Clinics” mushroomed all over Europe and the US.

Over the years, the HCG Diet popularity declined, mostly due to the attrition of practitioners who believed in and understood Dr. Simeons’ work.  Even though there were several HCG Diet studies conducted in the mid 70s, these studies didn’t follow Simeons’ protocol exactly and Simeons’ HCG Diet never received FDA approval for better weight loss results than common dieting.

In 2007, Kevin Trudeau released a book called “The Weight Loss Cure, What THEY Don’t Want You To Know”, which included enough information about the hCG Simeons diet to again create interest in Dr. ATW Simeons original work.  Shortly thereafter, a few ‘pioneer’ Professional Clinics in the US began offering hCG for weight loss
