Can I only eat 500 calories per day?

HCG causes 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. The result is that your body is burning thousands of calories from fat each day, the reason HCG dieters lose 1 to 2 pounds of fat or more, per day.
