by Dr. Matt Mitchell...My journey to hCG.

I have had the opportunity to work with different weight loss programs in the past. Some of them rendered good results while others only worked minimally. I have always followed the philosophy that a healthy weight loss plan should allow a maximum 3 to 4 pounds of lost fat tissue per week (or around 1/2 pound per day, maximum). Losing more than 4 pounds per week of fat may create irregularities within the body that could disrupt the delicate balance of hormones. Several months ago, I discovered a new weight loss program that may have proven my philosophy on weight loss wrong.

Over a year ago I found myself approached by patients who asked me if I offered the hCG weight loss diet. At that time I did not. Knowing very little about it, I decided to research and learn as much as I could. I had the opportunity to meet other physicians, pharmacists and patients who had previously used the hCG weight loss diet. I was impressed to learn of the changes that had occurred in these people. I decided to try the diet on myself. At that time I was only 185 pounds...already thin but with some slight abdominal weight gain or "love handles". In about 2 weeks I had lost a total of 16 pounds, my "love handles" had vanished and I had to stop the diet for fear of going too far below my ideal body weight. With that, I agreed to try the diet on some eager friends and family members who had all previously had difficulty loosing weight and keeping weight off. The results I observed from these people were astonishing. They were so amazed with the outcome that I soon found myself with patients calling my office asking to make appointments for the hCG weight loss plan.

Most of the weight loss programs that I offered my patients, prior to starting the hCG weight loss plan, were around 12 weeks. And in that time I would see an average weight loss of between 20 to 40 pounds. It varied greatly upon the individual and their commitment to losing weight. The hCG weight loss plan has given me an entirely new set of tools to offer my patients in their endeavor to lose weight and become more healthy. I saw twice the weight coming off these patients than I had with previous weight loss plans. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, antidepressant, and pain medications were all having or able to be eliminated or doses markedly reduced. I have watched the health of my patients on the hCG weight loss improve at a remarkable rate. People have better energy, better sleep cycles, none of the previous food cravings, and an entirely new zest for life. Although it is referred to as a weight loss diet, I have found it to be one of the most effective detoxification program I had ever worked with... Appearing as though the hypothalamus', the part of the brain which regulates hormones, immunity and metabolism, had been reset to normal (just as Dr. Simeons had stated, the physician who discovered and refined the hCG protocol).
