The HCG Diet
People who are in this diet will undergo injections of HCG or take homeopathic HCG drops orally and will be on a diet of consuming only 500 calories a day. It is best to have a doctor assess the health of an individual before approving any diet program. The reason a person must consume a very low calorie content diet is so the hypothalamus can act and direct the release and use of stored fat in the body, from adipose tissue and not lean muscle.
In addition to taking HCG, dieters are encouraged to:
- Maintain a 500 calorie per day diet.
- Light exercise.
- Track daily body measurements to track fat loss.
- Weigh yourself daily to track weight loss.
- Eat only HCG approved diet foods.
The diet is conducive to people losing from 1-2 pounds a day. Many people in the diet report feeling healthy and having a better healthy 
appearance. Most likely people will be hungry the first week, until the hypothalamus adjusts their metabolism and the body gets used to eating. By the second week, people will be less hungry and satisfied with small portions. It is important that people check with their doctor about this diet. The diet is legal in the United States; however, each person’s health condition is different. People who undergo this diet will have to continue a healthy eating and exercise program to maintain weight loss.
Although the injections are affective the homeopathic drops have proven to be much more popular because they are so much easier to use and provide the same weight loss results. Just make sure that before you start an HCG drops plan that you check with your doctor to make sure a diet plan is right for you. Another thing to check for is that the drops are made in an FDA approved lab in the United States.
