Diet Doc hCG Diet & Weight Loss announces a newly developed, upgrade to the original Dr. Simeon's hCG diet protocol from the 1950's.
Diet Doc offers the only modernized version of the hCG diet in America which does not support the restrictive 500 calorie diet. The extreme diet associated with the original Simeon's protocol can result in extreme metabolic slowdown which is the reason people are usually forced to take a 6 week break following their first round on the hCG diet.
hCG has been in use since the 1960s, but the low calorie ketogenic diet which accompanies it has never been updated. The diet protocol which accompanies any hCG diet is what makes or breaks the program. Every other hCG program follows a very outdated diet program created in the 1960s and since then our understanding of ketogenic diets and metabolism has taken several steps forward.
By applying modern nutritional science to the ketogenic diet, Diet Doc has been able to increase the calorie intake of the original hCG program by 40% and still allow for optimal fat mobilization without the gradual metabolic slowdown which accompanies the 500 calorie diet. The Diet Doc program also incorporates lean protein every few hours unlike the 500 calorie diet where the first meal is lunch, skipping breakfast entirely. Not eating until lunch has the additional effect of gradually slowing down the metabolism and therefore needing to take a 6 week break every month. Some muscle can also be lost as the dietary protein levels are inadequate to compensate for the relative starvation during the first half of the day.
The original Simeons protocol and 500 calorie diet also severely restricted fats with no exception (even to the point of restricting cosmetics). Restricting fats while on a ketogenic diet can further compound the drop in BMR (basal metabolic rate) because sufficient ketones arent able to to produced by the liver from body fat alone (this is especially true for type II diabetics). Diet Doc incorporates a propriety medium chain triglyceride (MCT oil) into their diet plans which gets quickly converted by the liver into ketones. This not only allows for an increase in energy, but helps prevent the drop in BMR associated with a more restrictive 500 calorie diet because there is a more stable source of energy during the low calorie phase of the diet.
With most people needing to lose between 30 and 40 pounds, having to take a 6 week break right in the middle of your weight loss goals can be very derailing. In addition the metabolic slowdown associated with the 500 calorie diet means that its very easy to gain weight back during the 6 week break because of the extreme deprivation and irregular meal times of the 500 calorie diet.
Diet Doc offers the only modernized diet protocol individualized to meet everyone's metabolic needs. This allows people to easily continue the hCG program for up to 3 months without needing to take a break to recover from a 500 calorie diet restriction.
