Three Types of Fat
The human body contains three types of fat.
*Structural fat resides around joints and organs to provide protection and support.
*Normal or essential fat reserves are distributed evenly throughout the body and are used as a day-to-day source of energy. Structural and essential fat are both considered “normal.”
*The third type of fat is abnormal, secondary, or non-essential fat. This “obesity-causing” fat tends to accumulate around the hips, thighs, waist, stomach,
and buttocks, and behind the upper arms (in women) and the upper chest, back, and neck (in men). They are not released during normal diet and exercise but are retained as “emergency” reserves and usually only released as a last resort in instances of severe long-term starvation. But they are also released—and available to be burned—during pregnancy or during periods of inadequate caloric intake. This
is the key to weight-loss protocols based on these types of calorie-restricted diets.
Dr. Simeons discovered that with HCG the body can release 1,500-5,000 calories of non-essential fat when calories are restricted to 500 calories per day. The body then uses this released fat as fuel and enables you to lose fat without the constant hunger, cravings and irritability that a typical low calorie diet would cause. More to come...
