Why not just go on the low calorie diet without the HCG diet drops?
When a person tries to lose weight solely by a low calorie diet, he/she will first lose his normal fat reserves. Only as a last resort will the body give up its abnormal reserves, though by that time the patient usually feels so weak and hungry that the diet is abandoned. It is just for this reason that obese patients complain that when they diet they lose the wrong fat or muscle mass. They feel famished and tired and their face becomes drawn and haggard, but their body shows little improvement. The fat they have come to detest stays on and the fat they need to cover their bones and vital organs depletes.
