چکیده
Explanation: The ―hCG diet‖ (as it‘s commonly known) was developed by a British endocrinologist Dr. Albert T.W. Simeons in the 1950s. He believed in the use of hCG as a treatment modality for adiposogenital dystrophy – a pituitary disorder that causes severe obesity and a delay in puberty in young men. Dr. Simeons went on to perfect his hCG weight loss protocol and his method was largely sought after by the society‘s elite and old Hollywood. The tenets of the ―hCG diet‖ are as follows: duration of 3.5-6 wks; fat-free, 500 kcal/day diet; daily injections of 125 IU of hCG. It is claimed that the followers of the diet will lose weight quickly, not feel weak, not experience hunger, and lose fat from the ―trouble‖ spots – stomach, hips, thighs, and upper arms.
