A lot of dieters usually ask these questions, “Is it okay to exclude HCG injection while doing the HCG diet? “Will I still lose the same amount of weight if I am going to simply follow the 500 calorie intake a day”?
Well, the answer is NO.
What does HCG injection do?

Usually, most people lose weight by cutting down on their caloric intake and increasing their level of activity. Unfortunately, that doesn’t work for everyone, and even for those who do. Most of the time, the fat they lose is not usually what they really want going.
HCG injection is designed to help your body lose weight safely and effectively. Anyone can lose weight when on a restricted calorie intake, but along with the fat, you also lose muscle mass. For this weight loss plan to be effective, you need an HCG injection to tap your brain to:
- Balance your metabolism
- Decrease your appetite
- Trigger your body to break down fat reserve as a source of energy
- Prevent muscle loss
- Accelerate your weight loss journey
Even on a very low-calorie intake, an HCG injection can help suppress your appetite and allows you to feel full and satisfied. The hormone will allow your body to burn abnormal fat deposits in problem areas like your hips, buttocks, thigh, upper arm, belly, etc.) These problem areas are usually not accessible for your body to burn unless both the structural and normal fat has been broken down.
Can you follow a 500-calorie diet without any problem?
Combining HCG injection with a 500-calorie diet will allow your body to lose weight safely and without any issues. Again, only with HCG injection. So, do not ever attempt to restrict your calorie intake without the help of this hormone. This could be dangerous and even life-threatening in the long run.
By combining HCG with a very low-calorie diet, you can tap into abnormal fat deposits, allowing nutrients, fat, and calories to be released into the bloodstream. This is the reason why you won’t get hungry despite the low-calorie intake. You even have plenty of energy. The hormone will allow your body to burn fat reserve, giving you at least 1500 to 4000 additional calories per day on top of the 500-calorie intake, according to Dr. Simeons.
Without the hormone, you would lose muscle along with fat. This will make you look sluggish, and you would definitely starve. You will feel exhausted and weak most of the time. Afterward, your body will most likely go into starvation mode and begin holding onto whatever you eat until you give up. During the recovery, your body will gain weight plus a little more to ensure safety as it recovers what it lost. Always remember that HCG injection is a crucial part of the HCG diet. Using HCG injection will help you lose fat from where you want it. It will reshape your body. Without it, this diet will not work, and it would be harmful to your health.
