HCG Diet Drops - Do I Have to Exercise?

You may or may not have heard this rather crazy claim that you don't need to exercise while taking HCG diet drops and doing the HCG diet. Interestingly, it's true. But there's a little more to it than that.

This article is definitely for you if you: (1) want to feel good about not exercising, (2) want to know why no exercise is necessary, or (3) want to keep on exercising even though you don't need to. Read on to get the low-down on exercise during the HCG diet.

Fact: You Truly Don't Need to Exercise

The heading says it. While taking HCG diet drops, exercise isn't necessary. HCG diet drops will access your stored fat and make it available for use as fuel, so you can go on a low-calorie diet with little or no hunger and still have enough energy. However, you're only getting a small amount of calories through your stomach. Heavy exercise depletes your available energy too fast.

Vigorous exercise makes you feel both hungry and tired, so the diet is harder, and you are more likely to cheat and stall. Why make it harder for yourself? The HCG diet works best without any exercise.

For People Who Want to Continue Exercising

Although not part of the protocol invented by Dr. Simeons, it might be possible to lose weight on the HCG diet while still exercising. Evidence isn't conclusive, so don't try this unless you're ready to risk stalling or maybe even gaining some weight. Basically, you will take 3/4 of the calories you burn by exercising and add it to the normal 500 calories permitted on the HCG diet. So you will be eating a bit more than the standard diet, but not enough to fully make up what you burn by exercising. Only try this if you're really devoted to your exercise routine. Otherwise it probably isn't worth it.

Advice

Even though you don't have to exercise, it's still suggested that you spend 30 minutes each day doing something active. This will help you set up the healthy habits you'll need to maintain your weight and your healthy life even after you're done with your HCG diet drops.

HCG Drops - Less Costly Than HCG Injections

HCG drops are without question cheaper than other weight loss methods, especially HCG injections. There are a wide range of reasons for this. Some are quite obvious while some are not very obvious. In this article we'll consider some of the ways HCG can help you save money while you lose weight.

* Kiss your gym memberships goodbye. Exercise isn't needed on the HCG diet. Intense workouts is not permitted, but light activity is OK.

* No body building coaches. No exercise means no extra expense in these areas.

* No additional equipment. With the HCG diet, all you need is HCG drops. No nifty equipment costing just $29.95 plus shipping and handling. Just the drops.

* Fewer groceries. On the HCG diet you are eating only 500 calories per day. HCG uses your stored fat to fuel your body. It breaks down so much fat, some people can't even eat the allowed 500 calories. You can save an astounding amount on your grocery bill this way. And these savings continue after the diet as your thinner body requires fewer calories!

* Better health. After losing weight, you'll feel so much healthier. Many people see reductions in blood pressure, back pain, diabetic medication, foot pain, and the list goes on. Who knows what costly health problems you are avoiding by losing weight?

* Don't waste money on injections. So far we've considered some less obvious ways to save money, but it's worthwhile to talk about this rather obvious one. Injections cost from twice to nine times as much as HCG drops, depending on where you get them.

* Extra supplies not required. You won't need anything other than the drops to be successful on your HCG diet. On the other hand, with injections you have to buy mixing, storage, and injection supplies.

* No prescription necessary. With HCG drops, you don't need a prescription. However, with injections you can spend over $200 on a prescription, depending on your doctor's health care costs.

Compared to remaining obese, and compared to other weight loss methods, choosing HCG drops will clearly save you money.
