I have one question and maybe I'm reading it wrong, but did you say you are only consuming 500 calories a day? Or do you mean that you're taking in 500 calories LESS per day?
Thanks!

I'm not Jo, Gemme, but, yes, the HCG diet works so well because you only consume 500 calories a day. Most of that is super high protein foods (100 grams a day) so you build muscle at the same time you shed the weight. There is a new form of it with the sublingual drops and 1,000 calories a day that I have also heard good things about.
I have never been an advocate of pill diets, or even "diets" in general, but this one has worked miracles for people who have struggled their whole lives. And, it seems VERY safe...which I can't say for many diets out there. If you are too large to manage a work out regimen, then this diet helps you lose enough initial weight so that you can begin exercising effectively.
