Difference Between HCG Diet and Low Calorie Diets

Many people have asked us, “won’t I lose weight on a low-calorie diet, no matter what?” That question is very reasonable until you understand what the HCG does for you while reducing your food intake. You would have some weight loss with just a 500-calorie diet; however, you would not have the energy to maintain daily activities like work and taking care of a family. With HCG, your body will get all the calories it needs to function by burning abnormal fat stores. Without HCG to direct the body about which type of fat to burn, a low-calorie diet will result in the destruction of structural and normal fat and even muscle.

Will I get hungry?

Even though you are taking in fewer calories (only 500 daily), HCG mobilizes abnormal fat to make it available to the body as an energy source, naturally reducing appetite. Most people have plenty of energy and feel good while on the program, and after about two days, many notice a significant decrease in appetite.

Won’t my metabolism slow down on a low-calorie diet?

Normally, when one cuts back calories and fat, the body stores abnormal fat and consumes structural and normal fat tissue, resulting in a lower metabolic rate and a high chance of weight gain. However, when a very specific, low-calorie diet is used in conjunction with HCG, the hormone signals the body to consume abnormal fat cells, thus decreasing excess fat reserves without compromising body structure. It’s a natural process, so no ill effects.
