Using HCG injections to address obesity and belly fat was first introduced in the early 1950s by Dr. ATW Simeons who was a well-known British endocrinologist.  This theory allowed for further expansion in the use of HCG for dietary purposes.  Today, it is part of a defined diet that focuses on caloric deficit, coupled with HCG injections.

As an endocrinologist, part of Dr. Simeons was tasked to treat low levels of testosterone in males. The primary method used at that time was injecting HCG in boys with testosterone deficiency.

During follow-up sessions, Dr. Simeons noticed that the boys who received HCG injections experienced rapid weight loss and belly fat shrinkage. The basic understanding of endocrine physiology led him to theorize that the effects of HCG on the hypothalamus interfere with fat distribution and metabolism.

Over the next 10 years, Dr. Simeons conducted experiments on hundreds of patients, where he adjusted the dose of HCG and set up a specific diet. Analyzing the results of his experiments, he found that HCG injections coupled with a specific diet lead to significant lipolysis (i.e., fat loss) in a short period of time compared to opting for diet and exercise alone.

This news made doctors from all around the world visit Dr. Simeons to discover more about his findings. Using this momentum, Dr. Simeons published Pounds and Inches, a New Approach to Obesity, in an attempt to help patients and healthcare workers understand his work.

HCG injections come with a property to cause weight loss through fat burning in the body with frequent application. However, HCG injections alone are not sufficient to reach this goal; a diet with calorie restrictions is also required. The diet offers your body the least required nutrition in the treatment process that aids your body in the fat-burning process, resulting in efficient weight loss. The HCG signals the hypothalamus to target only the non-essential fat; that means only the surplus fat that your body accumulates around itself, resulting in bigger body size, is burned, while the vital fats surrounding your main organs and muscles are maintained.

As your body is required to burn fat to acquire energy reserves, your appetite would be lower than usual, which makes it easy for you to maintain the intermittent fasting level diet prescribed with the HCG injections. Although the diet is not required for the long run, it is pretty much able to reset your metabolism with short-term usage. Your body will be shedding approximately one pound every day, successfully reducing your weight in a short span of time. As your final results become noticeably visible, you are able to enhance and maintain your body image with some necessary lifestyle modifications.
