How is 500 calories a day enough to live on without feeling miserable?
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 eating 500 calories daily, your hypothalamus is continually releasing the excess fat stored in your body. Because of this, your body is really operating on its usual thousands of calories a day. The restrictive diet prevents your fat cells from storing new fat and new fat from being stored in your adipose tissue.
