Anyone Can Lose Weight on a 500 calorie diet, so...

So what's so special about the hcg diet protocol?? Well, you definitely need to read some more about the protocol, especially the story of The Emaciated Lady in Pounds and Inches by Dr. Simeons, but I'll outline the differences here.


  • Although you are on a low calorie diet, your body is releasing up to 7,500 calories of your abnormal fat stores. Your body is feeding off the nutrients of that released fat so that you don't feel hungry, unlike your being on a low calorie diet without HCG.
  • Most diets have you lose structural fat and normal fat first, before attacking any abnormal fat.  This is why someone with a dramatic weight loss may look older, with drawn facial features, and have loose or hanging skin.  With HCG, thousands of people have reported that their bodies are actually RESHAPED as if they had liposuction (Lord knows I dread any hanging skin! I've seen it on others, and it is horrific!). The before and after pictures on youtube show some of this.
  • After the protocol is done, you can resume a normal diet (and normal exercise routine) without gaining the weight back. You don't have to dread doing diets for the rest of your life, or killing yourself everyday at the gym afraid that the weight will come back.
So while you may lose weight on a 500 calorie diet, you'd basically be starving yourself if you're not using HCG.  You will feel hungry, fatigued, irritable, and possibly set yourself up to binge.  You may lose a similar amount of weight, but it will look differently.  Also, once you resume a normal amount of calories, you will more than likely gain the weight back, since your metabolism is still out of wack--in fact, the extreme dieting without HCG will make it even slower, so you will probably gain MORE weight back. 

So there you have it :)
