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 observed that obesity is nearly always accompanied by a depressed metabolism and a nearly constant state of hunger, which often includes intense cravings. He further observed that “many obese patients actually gain weight on a diet which is calorically deficient for their basic needs.” Determined to find the cause for a phenomenon that seemed counterintuitive, Dr. Simeons discovered that the diencephalon—a primitive part of the brain responsible for the basic functions of the body such as breathing and the beating of the heart—also directs the storage and use of fat. He believed that reseting the diencephalon is key to accessing and releasing non-essential fat stores.

The Evolution of Calorie-Restricted Dieting

Based on Simeon’s findings regarding calorie-restricted dieting and his success with obese patients, DesBio enlisted the help of some of the world’s top endocrinologists and doctors to make an even better protocol to support a practitioner-supervised weight loss plan that did not contain hCG. Researchers have established that the human chorionic gonadotrophin molecule is comprised of 244 amino acids in two ribbons or chains (Figure 1). Research has demonstrated that only small portions of these chains actively contribute to the molecule’s positive effects on body composition (Figure 2). hA2cg Evolution delivers AACG-A and AACG-B (the only active portions of the molecule) in a bioidentical format (Figure 3). The homeopathic dilutions of these active amino acid chains help temporarily relieve the many uncomfortable symptoms associated with calorie-restricted weight loss plans, including hunger, low energy, poor mood, and fatigue. Additionally, hA2cg Evolution contains 21 time-tested homeopathic ingredients that temporarily relieve symptoms related to weight-management. Taking hA2cg Evolution alone will not result in any weight loss or improvement in body composition. This product works best as part of a practitioner-supervised weight-management plan, such as the Evolution Weight-Management Program. DesBio’s innovative homeopathic weight-management product hA2cg Evolution contains no hCG. Its patent-pending active ingredients (AACG-A and AACG-B) are combined with 21 other homeopathic ingredients to temporarily relieve the patient’s symptoms during both the Lean- Body (500-Calorie) and Active-Lifestyle (1000-Calorie) protocols.  *This information is found in the Practitioner Guide for the program.
