Book Review by Dorothy Ledden
Stephen Holt MD, physician, pioneer of Integrative Medicine, and author of the recently released book, Holt On: The Anti-Aging Triad (www.antiagingtriad.com), shares his visionary thoughts on the clinical use of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) for weight control. In his latest book, Holt On: The HCG Diet Revolution - The Definitive Guide, this world renowned physician and weight control expert, takes a thoughtful and cautiously optimistic approach to the HCG Diet, also known as the Simeons Protocol. While many diets have come and gone, renewed interest is swirling around this provocative dietary program that was introduced over fifty years ago.
As a thought leader in Integrative Medicine, Dr. Holt does not recommend the HCG Diet as a simple antidote to weight loss, rather, he proposes we become open-minded to the possibilities that this diet, in combination with other interventions, may be effective in sustained weight control. Modern society is faced with the growing challenges of obesity, and Dr. Holt reminds us that we must consider alternative modes of combating this disorder which is associated with the onset of Metabolic Syndrome X and diabetes (diabesity). Dr. Holt also explains to us why many diets or weight loss tactics fail in individuals with a BMI of greater than 30 and he opens the door to a serious further evaluation of bariatric surgery.
Since its emergence back on the scene, the HCG Diet has taken the world by storm and much has been written about it. Dr. Holt sorts science from speculation and dismisses some of the fiction surrounding this topic. This book is a must read for anyone contemplating the use of an HCG diet and it is very useful for practicing clinicians. Holt On: The HCG Diet Revolution - The Definitive Guide sets the record straight by providing a careful look at a promising, but controversial, treatment for significant weight gain.
