Very Low Calorie Diet Successes
A very low calorie diet could be the answer for those who want to lose weight and keep it off, according to Dr. Anju Mather, director of the Angel Longevity Medical Center in Los Angeles. The main reason Americans tend to be overweight is that they eat more food than their bodies need.
If you look at aging theories, one aging theory is that if you consume more calories than what the body needs the body actually ages faster. If you reverse that, you’ll find that a low-caloric diet prolongs a lifespan of an individual. A study was done on rats, one group was fed fewer calories as part of their regular diet, and the other was fed considerably more. Those with a low-caloric diet had a longer lifespan, about one and a half times longer than the regular lifespan of rats.
Theory behind the Diet
The theory of a VLCD, or Very Low Calorie Diet, predicates itself on not consuming more calories than the body needs. The Slim and Trim Protocol involves very low caloric diet. The reason we do that is because the hCG hormone, which is a cornerstone of the protocol, itself is based on converting body fat into energy. In other words, you are consuming your own fat for energy, so you do not need to eat so much food.
Research in the 1960s by Dr. ATW Simeon, the founder of the hCG Diet, pointed to the fact that we do not need more than 500 calories a day. That’s because while being on daily hCG injections, one pound of fat can work itself into 3,000 calories. So you do the math: with these 3,000 calories, you do not need more than 500 calories.
Combating Empty Nutrition
Dr. Mather mentions she regularly sees people who eat for two – over 5,000 calories a day. Fast food is rampant, and every portion is huge, because food is cheap. However, most of the food contains little nutritional value, but it does contain toxins, which are stored in body fat.
The very low calorie diet is only successful when it is combined with the injections of the hormone. The hormone breaks up fat and converts it into energy. Without the hormone, with only a very low calorie diet, the person is starving his body and will not have enough energy to do even ordinary bodily functions much less usual activities.
By itself, a low caloric diet will not work as it breaks down the structural fat and it breaks down the proteins of the body first. Structural fat and protein in muscle is needed by the body to operate.
Many successes have been achieved by the “Slim and Trim at Last” program at Angel Longevity Medical Center. But the key is to use both the hormone and the diet, because the hormone breaks down the stored fat, which is what makes a patient obese. The research originally done in 1988 has been refined and is now available to everyone.
