What Women MUST Know to Protect Their Daughters
From Breast Cancer

Like so many women, the mid-life middle spread seemed to have sneaked up on me. I knew I had just emerged from two years of major life changes with its accompanying stress. Well, really, to be totally honest, MAJOR STRESS! However, I was not at all prepared for my doctors rather blunt comment.

Rather tactlessly he said. What has happened to you? You look like you are six months pregnant.

I knew I had been carrying some extra cortisol-induced weight around the midriff, but I guess denial is a really wonderful thing. I really didnt think I looked that overweight. Certainly not enough to look six months pregnant! Stepping onto his scale really ripped the veil of illusion from my eyes!

For most women, weight gain is the bane of our existence. Culturally, we all suffer from a fat phobia. Putting our vanity aside, extra-weight just ten pounds is a potential health hazard. In 2004 the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) ranked obesity as the number one health threat facing America. More than 60 percent of women over the age of 20 fall into the overweight category. That makes 64.5
million of us! And, if were talking obesity that means almost 35 million more are in that category.

Americans spend a lot of money on weight loss programs and diets $50 billion annually!

Thats an awful lot of our hard earned cash! And heres the rub, within five years of losing weight, 95 percent of people will gain it all back and more!

Whether we like it or not, the older we get the less efficient our body becomes at detoxifying, maintaining a dynamic metabolism, balancing hormones and managing blood sugar. All of these issues can add to ever upward-creeping weight. Popular drugs also play their part. It is well acknowledged that HRT, anti-depressants, statins and blood pressure medications list weight gain as side effects!

I have not been immune from this obsession with body image. There were times when I have been thin. And then there were times when I have been fat. I dieted and fasted and cleansed and starved and exercised until I was blue in the face!

Over the years I refined my nutritional regime. I basically ate a gluten-free, sugar-free, soda-free, processed-food free, organic food diet. I exercised (sometimes). I made the extra effort to manage my stress levels. I took my nutritional supplements. I balanced my hormones (naturally). I went to sleep at a decent hour (going to bed after 11pm and getting less than 7 hours can increase weight).

I thought I was doing everything right but my weight loss was stalled. I couldnt get it to budge. So, its no wonder that my doctors comment was such a blow to my self-image and my fruitless efforts!

One day, a chance comment about a new kind of weight loss program changed my life. I was introduced to hCG, Human Chorionic Gonatrophin, an obscure hormone that I had never heard of before.

It seems that hCG plays a major role in our survival. I learned that although it is produced in the bodies of men and women, it is found in very high amounts during pregnancy. One of its jobs is to ensure the survival of the pregnant mother and fetus by signaling the hypothalamus to release stored fat to be used as fuel and nourishment.

It is also called into action in times of starvation. Under the command of hCG, these fat reserves will provide 1,500-4,000 calories a day of energy and nutrition.

However, it is important to emphasize that hCG is not a sex hormone. Its action is identical in men, women, and children, young and old alike.

What hCG does for a pregnant women, is what it can also do for us. This amazing hormone has become the key ingredient to one of the most successful permanent fat loss and resculpting programs ever created. We have Dr. A.T.W. Simeons to thank for that.

Dr. Simeons was a brilliant English endocrinologist who discovered that hCG had a major impact on fat loss by regulating the hypothalamus. The main function of this master gland is homeostasis, or maintaining the bodys status quo. Ultimately the hypothalamus can control every endocrine gland in the body. It also regulates other factors such as blood pressure, body temperature, fluid and electrolyte balance, and body weight.

The message that hCG gives the body is to release reserves of long-term stored fat. Thats the ugly fat that we struggle so hard to rid ourselves of. Its the fat that is stored in our abdomen, thighs and hips. That is also the fat that accumulates as fat pads in our arms, knees, back and neck. The most frustrating thing about this variety of fat is that no amount of dieting will ever touch it. It is only accessible with hCG. The body seems to hold on to it for dear life as part of its survival strategy.

The first to go when we start dieting is water, muscle and subcutaneous fat the fat that gives shape to our face and fullness to our breasts. No wonder most diets result in saggy and toneless skin.

But hCG is totally different. It releases ONLY the long-term stored fat. It actually helps the body to properly redistribute weight and regain firmness in the body. So on the hCG program you not only lose pounds, you lose inches! No saggingno loose skin. In fact, it actually helps to tone your body.

And the most amazing thing is that Dr. Simeons program
allowed people to lose a pound of fat a day, on average. While most weight loss programs consider the loss of one or two pounds a week a great success, the hCG program enables people to lose as much as a pound a daynot to mention the melting of inches!

The real bonus of this program is the rebalancing of the bodys metabolism. When the program is followed precisely, you are able to regain a healthy metabolism. This is key to making sure your weight will stay off. Yo-yoing can then become a thing of the past.

While Dr. Simeons original program revolved around injections of hCG, there is now a more convenient and easy method to get the exact same results.

The body is literally able to read the information and create the desired outcome. In the case of homeopathic hCG, it has the exact same effect as the more unpleasant and expensive hCG hormone injections.
