Why is it necessary to follow a 500 calorie diet on the hCG diet protocol?
The HCG diet shots cause your hypothalamus to mobilize the fat out of the fat storage locations so that it’s available for use. While you are only consuming 500 calories, your hypothalamus is continually releasing the fat stored in your body. Because of this, your body is actually operating on thousands of calories a day. This is the reason why HCG dieters lose 1 to 2 lbs or fat or more per day.
