The 500 Or 800 Calorie HCG Diet Protocol?

The HCG 500 Calorie Diet Vs. 800 Calorie Diet Protocol!

800 ProtocolBack in early 2011 we posted a couple of videos regarding the 800 Calorie Diet Menu. At that time the 800 Protocol was still fairly new, and it sure sounded like a great idea.

Imagine doing the traditional HCG Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) but with a little more food and actually being able to eat breakfast. It is also said that you can lose almost the same amount of weight per day as the original protocol.

I mean who in their right mind wouldn't choose the 800 over the 500 daily calories. Seriously, if given the choice, what overweight person would say nah, I think I'll just take the 500 Calorie Diet Plan.

After doing a bit of research though, it seems that there are a couple of different reasons that more people aren't embracing the 800 Calorie Diet Protocol.

So Why Aren't More People Using The 800 Calorie Diet Plan?

Honestly, I think most people who use the HCG Diet, know nothing about the 800 Calorie Version. For one, I don't believe that a lot of HCG Clinics offer their patients the option between the 800 or 500 Calorie Plan.

Not only that, but the majority of people who use the HCG Diet, spend a lot of money to do it. Which means they want to make sure that they are doing it the right way and because the diet was originally created with a 500 Calorie per day menu, that is what people feel works.

Which HCG Diet Protocol Should You Use, The 500 or 800 Calorie Menu?

Well, I have come to find out that the majority of places that recommend to use the higher calorie protocols, like the 800 or even the 1,000 menu, yes I said 1,000 calories, there is even a protocol that basically doubles the original amount of food, and that is the Homeopathic HCG Companies; which we have been discussing a lot lately on this blog.

If you ask me, it's because these companies know how dangerous it is for people to use their product, which contains virtually zero HCG, while eating only 500 Calories per day.

Of course this is why I always recommend using the Real HCG Hormone Shots, Drops or Pellets. And if you are using Pharmaceutical HCG you should have no problem at all using the 500 Calorie Protocol. Obviously you will lose more weight with the smaller calorie plan. It really sounds scarier than it really is.

However, if you are one of the many people who still insist on using the "not so real" Homeopathic HCG, then without a doubt I would urge you to use the 800 or 1,000 Calorie Diet Plan.

Either way, Real HCG or not, I wish you all the best of luck on your HCG Weight Loss Journeys!

Let's Review What We Have Just Learned:

  • 800 and 1,000 Calories Protocols do exist.
  • If you are using Homeopathic HCG, I would strongly recommend using the higher calorie diet plans.
  • I always like to suggest that people use Real HCG.
  • If you take my advice and use Pharmaceutical HCG, you should be fine using the 500 Calorie Protocol.
  • Whether you use the Real or Not so Real HCG, I try to help everyone just the same.


Would you like to use a higher calorie HCG Protocol if you could?

Cheese On The HCG Diet - Is It Allowed?

Is cheese one of the items on the HCG 500 Calorie Diet Menu? Anyone who has read the HCG Diet Protocol knows that there are a lot of different rules to follow. On top of it all, you have to remember which foods you can and cannot eat. However, what people usually remember more than anything is that list of foods you can have is much smaller than the foods that you can't. Still, it can be quite a task to memorize that list in such a short period of time. I guess this is why people always ask my wife and I which foods are allowed during Phase 2 of the HCG Weight Loss Diet - One of the more common foods we are asked about is cheese. Now I love cheese probably more than the average person, so I can definitely understand why people are hoping and praying that it's listed on the HCG Diet Menu. And this brings us to the question we are here to answer... Can You Have Cheese On The HCG 500 Calorie Diet? I think deep down inside most of you already knew that the answer ...

How The Hypothalamus Works

What the Hypothalamus Gland does and why it's so important to fix it... The Hypothalamus Gland is located directly below the Thalamus which is at the center of the brain. It controls many automatic functions of the human body. So this means that it can tell the autonomic nervous system what to do. The Hypothalamus also controls pituitary output by distributing certain chemicals to the pituitary's frontal lobe. To put it more simply, the Hypothalamus Gland organizes and controls many complex emotions, feelings and moods. It also controls all motivational states including hunger, appetite and food intake, and everything to do with the concept of pleasure including satisfaction, comfort and creative activities. The neurons in the Hypothalamus produce a number of Hypothalamic Neurotransmitters which relay information and instruction to all parts of the brain and body, directly influencing the Pituitary Gland. This is where the Growth Hormone, Thyroid Hormone Releasi...

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...
