How does HCG Diet work?

You may wonder if the HCG Diet really works. To know if it works, you need to have proper knowledge on how the Diet reacts with your body and how it works.

Before we start to understand how the HCG Diet works, let’s just look at the condition you need to imbibe and adhere to.

The only condition is that you stick to the plan of action. You need to prepare your mind and be sure that you want to see results. The results will show only if you have stuck to the Diet throughout the period.

If you deviate, then the plan will not work. If the plan does not work, the weight reduction will not take place.




You may wonder that if the plan is all about taking 500 calories then why you should look at the HCG Diet plan specifically. You could have 500 calories of intake without the plan and you could achieve your results.

Before you start to understand how the Diet plan works, you need to know how fat is stored and consumed in your body:

Medically, fat is stored in three ways:

Structural fat: This is fat that forms padding to various organs. Thus, this fat protects the arteries and cushions your bones.

This fat padding is required by your body. When you start off with starvation-based dieting, this is the fat that starts to get depleted first. This is the reason why your body starts to get negative effects when you do any other starvation-based dieting plans.

Normal fat: This is the working fat. It is the fat that your body dips into when it requires energy. This fat does not take a lot of effort to lose.

This fat is also good for your body. The moment this fat starts to deplete your body will not have a resource to dip into and hence you will have general weakness.

Abnormal fat: This is additional fat. Not that it is bad. However it is fat that is hardly utilized by the body. It is this fat that your body finds difficult to use. It is this fat that you see in obese people. This fat is very difficult to lose via exercises and calorie diets as well.

It is the abnormal fat that HCG works on. It actually dives and pulls it out. With HCG your body will be able to readily pull the fat out from these stores.

Coming back to what we first discussed here in this section. If you go via the route of the 500 calorie diet without HCG, then the normal fat will be utilized.

If you plug in HCG into the diet plan, then the abnormal fat will be pulled out.

It is imperative that you follow the HCG Diet strictly when you are on the HCG Plan. Only then will you achieve your weight loss target.

The 500 calorie diet plan per day is a tried and tested formula. Both the Plan and the Diet are mutually inclusive. You need to follow and adhere to both to see visible results in your body.

The HCG Plan takes effect when your food intake reduces simultaneously. Thus, your abnormal fat will get mobilized and get pulled out. 




If you fail to do the HCG Plan and only follow the diet, you will harm yourself as there will soon be no fat in the body.

Simply put: do both, the Plan and the Diet.
