Successful Weight Loss

Dr SIMEONS

By Molly Sandenberger


Dr. Albert T. W. Simeons, often called Dr. A. T. W. Simeons is the pioneering founder of the world renowned 'hCG diet'. This diet is often used to treat obesity.

He was born and raised in London, and studied medicine at the Universityof Heidelberg. After completing his general medical degree,he further studied in Germany and Switzerland for his post graduate diploma. He eventually went into tropical medicine after working in various areas of medicine. To fulfill his dream of specializing in Tropical Medicine, he enrolled in the school of Tropical medicine in Hamburg.

While he was there, he was working on injection remedies for malaria and different methods of staining malarial parasites. For his contribution in that field, Red Cross Order of Merit by the Queen of England in 1931.

That same year he moved to India, where he stayed for 18 years and continued practicing Medicine, when he found something remarkable. He discovered undernourished women who were almost starving were still able to give birth to healthy babies. Soon after that, he discovered that their bodies were producing large amounts of hCG. That hCG was breaking down the fat reserves of the body of the mother and was supplying it to the baby she carries. And then they give birth to a healthy and strong baby. So he studied this specific aspect of weight management in detail. After he finished his work in India, he moved to Italy.

Following a period of research, Dr. Simeons published 'Pounds and Inches: A New Approach to Obesity' in 1954. His theory regarding fat breakdown usually occurs during periods of starvation, but after around 90 days or so, or in pregnancy, the fats that are present around the joints and thighs break down to provide energy and nutrients. These secondary fat reserves are normally not utilised in healthy people, and can be the reason for weight gain.

As Dr. Simeons continued with his research, he published a report in which he expressed surprise at how a diet low in calories combined with hCG resulted in a noticeable weight-loss that reshaped the body, and sometimes recognized in subjects who were not given to exercising. The treatment was devoid of side-effects such as headaches, irritability, hunger pangs or weakness. So, Dr. Simeons concluded that it was the fat reserves that were broken down and helped subjects to slim down.

He put all that together in his manuscript and that way he created one of the most discussed weight loss programs these days. Thousands of people all over the world use this exact program and get perfect results every day. So, it seems that his little observation has taken us to one of the best discoveries in weight loss today.
