HCG Protocol From Dr. Saleeby, MD

Written By JP Saleeby, MD

First, we must define obesity to better understand it and then dis-

cuss what can be done outside of medication and surgery to con-

trol or manage this disorder. Obesity is defined as a chronic con-

dition resulting from the interaction between a person’s genetic

makeup and the environment (phenotype). There are a lot of fac-

tors to include social, behavioral, cultural, psychological, and hor-

monal or metabolic that impact this disease. Despite the over-

whelming number of people who suffer this disorder, it is still

poorly understood. One is considered obese when their Body

Mass Index (BMI) calculated by using weight and height is elevat-

ed. A person with a BMI of greater than 30% is by definition obese.

In 1999, the National Health & Nutrition Exam Survey (NHANES)

found that 61% of Americans are obese. This is a 5% increase over the

1988 – 1994 period and a 14% increase over the 1976 – 1980 period.

This is a sad state of affairs. Something has gone terribly wrong here.

The relative risks for several other diseases are significant. Diabetes

type II, Coronary Artery Disease, Hypertension, Cancer, Dyslipidemia,

and Sleep Apnea are all disorders that arise in part due to obesity. For

better quality of life, it is essential to avoid obesity and all its sequel-

ae. That is why in anti-aging medicine, nutrition, diet and exercise

is as important as any other medication or hormone we prescribe.

Simply put, if one is to reduce caloric intake in conjunction with

increased caloric expenditure, the result is weight loss (a loss of stored

fat as opposed to muscle should really be the choice of words here.)

Unfortunately, there is no magic pill or procedure that is safer than eat-

ing right and exercising. But it takes will power and compliance and

many Americans are not willing to be this disciplined. The alternatives

can be costly. Do nothing and you subject yourself to an early death

and increased morbidity from the other illnesses mentioned above.

Pick a weight loss medication and you can suffer the consequences of

many untoward and dangerous side effects. Remember the problems

with Redux and Fen-phen. Also, who wants to suffer from the gastric

discomfort of Orlistat (Xenical), or the danger of sudden death with

over-the-counter Ephedra infused products. Others consider surgical

procedures such as gastric bypass or gastric stapling with its relatively

high morbidity and mortality rate and malabsorption problems. The

removal of adipose tissue surgically (liposuction) is not without risks

of infection and sensory nerve damage. Sometimes, with the morbid-

ly obese surgical intervention is a must. But for those mildly obese or

h e a d i n g t h a t w ay, r e m e m b e r d i e t a n d e x e r c i s e f i r s t .

From a nutrition recommendation, I could go on for hours, but by

simply avoiding “fad” diets and sticking with a reasonable / sensible

plan, you will not yo-yo or spin your wheels. After an exhaustive

review of the plethora of dietary recommendations out there, I coun-

sel my patients quite simply. A protein weighted diet with ratios of

40% Carbs, 30% Protein and 30% Fats (Good fats mind you, from such

sources as olive oil and fish mostly). This comes very close to the dietary

recommendations of Dr. Barry Sears of the “Zone” fame. Required

reading for my patients, by the way, is Dr. Sears’ “A Week in the Zone.”

Remember, one pound (0.45 kg) is equal to 3,500 calories. Therefore,

a person consuming 500 calories more than he or she expends daily

How to Fight it with Diet and Exercise

2


From a physiological perspective, the “fat burning zone” refers to

maintaining an exercise intensity of 50 – 60 percent of aerobic apacity

as calculated or measured as VO2max.

When one increases the intensity of exercise to say 70% of VO2max

(attaining a higher heart rate) then the substrate shifts to “burning”

more carbohydrate than fat. However, the important concept to

remember here is the “total calories burned.” For example, while the

ratios of calories from fat and from carbohydrates may change with

intensity, the total number of calories burned at the end of the workout is

where weight loss is achieved. Let us take a typical person on day one: he

exercise for one hour at 50% VO2max and burn 240 kcal (50%) from Carbs

and 240 kcal (50%) from Fat, for a total of 480 Calories. The following day

the same person exercises at 80% VO2max for an hour and burns 264 kcal

(40%) from Fat while 396 kcal (60%) are burned using carbohydrates. While

the ratio of Fat:Carbs is lower with the higher intensity he is still burning

more fat at the higher intensity and the total Calories add up to 660 kcal.

For those people with less time to exercise, a higher intensity regiment

makes more sense. The caveat here is that with high intensity exercise

there is more risk for overuse injury, especially in the unconditioned. So, to

keep someone compliant with exercise (if they injure themselves, they are

more likely to quit all together) mix it up a bit. Three days a week at higher

intensity and two days at a lower intensity. Cross train and mix up the type

of exercises you do (treadmill, stationary bike, elliptical, lap swimming, ...)

One does not have to become a super-elite athlete to loose weight. Take

a 200-lb. man who walks briskly for one hour each day. His caloric expen-

diture would amount to 2100 kcal above rest per week and that repre-

sents a fat loss of 0.6 lbs. After 12 months that is a 30-lb. loss of weight

and that is significant. If that person chose to run (6.0 mph) instead of

walk, then he would burn 14.6 kcal per minute above resting metabolism

and achieve the same 0.6 lbs. of weight loss in only 30 minutes. Another

point to remember is that overdoing it is counter productive. Very high

intensity workouts greater than 40 minutes will cause the adrenal glands

to secrete the stress hormone cortisol which has a negative impact

on muscle. Cortisol can actually melt muscle mass away. Still another

important point to consider is the fact that added muscle mass makes

burning fat much easier and efficient. Loss of muscle mass will hinder

fat loss. So it is crucial to limit high intensity aerobic workouts to less

than one hour and combine with a resistance-training program as well.

For those seeking a safe and well-designed exercise program, I

would recommend finding a certified personal trainer for assis-

tance. For weight loss and weight management programs, we offer

may dif ferent solutions for individuals at Wellness One, includ

ing the famous hCG protocol, use of agents such as Metformin

and Topamax and modalities such as Far-Infrared Sauna sessions.

TEAM MEMBER OF THE MONTH Lesley Hutchens is an Asheville, NC transplant with a business degree from UNC Chapel Hill. She and her husband Eric moved to Myrtle Beach in 1996. Lesley owned and operated her own successful business for years before becoming interested in massage therapy. After visiting a chiropractor for some back issues and receiving mini-massages on-site, she got to thinking. “I saw how beneficial it was and thought, ‘hey! I should do that!’” Self-motivated as ever, she put herself through massage school at the South Carolina Massage and Esthetics Institute, graduating in 2001. She did massage therapy part-time while somehow maintaining her business AND her duties as a full-time mom, but closed up shop in 2010 to focus permanently on massage. Her areas of specialty are deep tissue, prenatal, and trigger point therapies.
