Diet Doc announces a newly modified and modernized version of the original hCG diet that was developed by Dr A.T.W. Simeons in the 1950s. In addition to promoting fast weight loss, Diet Doc's new modern version of the diet plan specifically targets areas of fat in the most stubborn and difficult to lose areas, such as the belly, thighs, hips, and underarms. Belly fat, one of the most common issues that people often struggle with, is not limited to subcutaneous fat alone and includes visceral fat or abnormal fat deposits that lie deep within the abdomen and surround the internal organs. Visceral fat is associated with far more dangerous health consequences than subcutaneous fat which poses only cosmetic concerns. Excessive visceral fat is known to impair the body's ability to use insulin, negatively impact good and bad cholesterol levels, and trigger the production of hormones that increase blood pressure. Visceral fat also boosts estrogen levels that may increase the incidence of cardiovascular disease, stroke, type II diabetes and breast cancer.
