How HCG Controls Hunger on a 500 calorie Diet

Here's a fact that may shock you: a daily 500 calorie diet is literally a starvation diet.

Consider that the average human requires about approximately three to five times this amount simply to maintain his/her normal metabolic processes, and you begin to understand just how "very low" this "very low calorie diet" really is. To put it into another perspective, this number is less that the average amount of calories fed to inmates of the infamous concentration camps and Allied POWs captured in the Pacific during the Second World War. (If you have seen photos of those survivors, you know the results of such a "diet.")

Nonetheless, people who have successfully lost weight on the HCG diet report that they feel little in the way of hunger pangs while following the protocol – if any at all.

How is this possible? Doesn't someone consuming only 500 calories a day run major health risks?

The HCG Difference

The answer to the second question is "no" – not when Dr. Simeons' protocols are carefully followed. The reason is that under normal conditions, a 500 calorie diet would cause one's body to start wasting away as it cannibalizes lean muscle tissue, whereas HCG forces the body to feed on excess fat deposits, or adipose.

The answer to the first question lies in understanding the mechanism of HCG and how taking it causes such dramatic weight loss without health risks.

How HCG Works

"Human Chorionic Gonadotropin" (HCG) is a natural hormone that the fetus produces during the gestation process. Its primary purpose is to regulate metabolic processes during pregnancy. Its secondary function is to protect the fetus should the mother suffer from malnutrition, since under normal circumstances the mother would literally steal nutrients from the fetus.

Our natural supply of HCG is depleted by the time we reach adulthood, largely because of the nature of the modern diet of processed and chemically adulterated foods. Without HCG, regulation of the body's metabolic processes is compromised.

Taking homeopathic HCG replaces that which has been lost. When present in the bloodstream, this hormone reprograms the part of the brain responsible for regulating metabolism, which is a small gland known as the hypothalamus. This reprogramming forces the hypothalamus to feed off of these adipose stores when one is on a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) rather than lean muscle tissue – which is what actually causes the "wasting away" associated with genuine starvation.
