What is the HCG Diet?

The HCG Diet (also known as The HCG Protocol) was created by Dr. A.T. Simeon in the 1950’s. Dr. Simeon’s discovered that when combining the natural hormone HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) with a low calorie diet, patients are able to lose weight in the areas they want to lose weight (ie; abnormal stores of fat) while simultaneously yielding high-levels of energy from those stores of fat, thus allowing the patient to eat significantly less food than they are used to without having to deal with hunger.

Dr. Bo’s Diet is NOT the original Simeon’s protocol but a modern evolution that maintains the core elements and advantages of Simeon’s protocol, but incorporates the medical advancements that have been discovered in the last 60 years. Dr. Bo’s Diet program may utilize HCG (when appropriate for the patient) as a tool and an aid to help with rapid weight loss without sacrificing the results of the ultimate objective, which is keeping the weight off for good. Our program has certain similarities to the core elements of the original HCG Diet, but focuses on other objectives geared more towards functions of weight-management, such as nutritional and behavioral counseling for long term success.

The Key Difference between Dr. Bo’s Diet and The HCG Diet (Simeon’s Protocol)

There are many key differences between Dr. Bo’s Diet and The HCG Diet. The most important difference is the advancement in science and medicine since Dr. Simeon’s discovered the benefits of HCG, almost 60 years ago. At Dr. Bo’s Diet, our focus is more geared towards a customized approach to a patient’s struggle with weight. We take a careful and individualized approach to a patient’s struggle and may utilize some of Dr. Simeon’s findings to help some of our patient’s but we have carved out many of the elements to the original HCG Protocol that were since discovered as unnecessary or ineffective.  In short, we take the best parts of the original HCG Diet, remove the unnecessary functions and, add the most important elements of our proprietary program, such as resetting the patient’s metabolism and training the patient how to keep the weight off for good. In contrast to the original HCG Diet, we have a lot more flexibility towards number of calories, types of foods, and allowance for exercise.
