HCG Diet Myth Buster

True or False - You cannot exercise while on the HCG Weight Loss Diet?

There are a lot of myths and misconceptions about the HCG Diet, and unfortunately people tend to believe everything that they hear. But with all of the negativity surrounding the HCG Diet, the myths are really starting to pile up.

One of these myths has to do with exercising on the HCG Diet. Most people think that you are not allowed to exercise during Phase 2.

But is it true that you cannot exercise on the HCG Weight Loss Diet?

No - This is just another one of those myths. The truth is you are free to exercise during Phase 2 or any other Phase of the HCG Diet. In fact, exercising a little bit everyday can even help you to lose weight.

This is what Dr. Simeons says about exercising on the HCG Diet...



Consider adding a brisk walk, some yoga, or any type of 15 minute activities to your day a few times a week--anything that raises the heart rate throughout the day. The activity increases your metabolism and may increase your rate of loss. Exercise is barely mentioned in the protocol. Our interpretation is that exercise is good for everyone; however, it is simply not required to successfully lose weight on this protocol.  That being said, we have observed participants who have a physically active job, such as a waitress, where the participant seemed to maintain a slightly higher daily average weight loss than those who did absolutely no physical activity.

One of the reasons that exercise is not encouraged more, is because most people using this VLCD would likely have no energy to do much else if they did do any sort of work-out.


Also, it's worth pointing out that people who do exercise on the HCG Diet, tend to experience muscle fatigue much less often than a someone who doesn't.


So it looks like this HCG exercising myth is busted!

Tell Us Your HCG Diet Story

Would you like to write an article for the HCG Diet 411 Blog? These days, there are people all over the world that are using the HCG Diet. Whether it's good or bad, each one of these people have a story to tell about their experience. Are you one of these people? If so, I would love to hear what it is you have to say; and I'm sure my blog readers would too. Not a professional blogger? - Don't worry, you don't have to be. If you can write a letter, you can write a blog post. See, I really want to get HCG Diet users talking about how they've done with the diet so far - Because even though a doctor can tell you how the diet works and what to expect from it, only a handful of them have actually done it. Which means they can't tell you on a personal level what you will experience. Now don't get me wrong, most doctors are very knowledgeable about the HCG Diet and they usually have valuable information to share with their patients. I just th...

HCG Diet Dangers

HCG Diet Dangers - Are there any? And if so, what are they? So what are the dangers associate with the HCG Diet? If you were to Google the term " HCG Diet Dangers ", you would get a bunch of sites trying to sell you something related to the HCG Diet. A lot of the websites that you will run into trying to find the answer to this question, are nothing more than marketers using fear tactics to get you to buy their product. So try not to get pulled in by this sort of thing. The truth is there are some HCG Diet Dangers, but they're probably not as bad as you think. In fact, some of them are human errors that make this method of weight loss the most dangerous. I'm talking about things like getting an infection from not cleaning your syringe. While getting an infection from a syringe is a danger that is associated with the HCG Diet, it is a mistake that a human makes that causes it. Therefore, the danger can be eliminated if you can only remember to use alcohol pads...
