HCG

Starvation Mode is when your body releases too much fat for energy for too long. The hormone that causes it LEPTIN is in our fat cells. Trust me you will go into starvation mode but at 500 calories it doesn't really matter because you'd continue losing weight albeit at a slower rate.
It's like the same as anorexia.

It's ok, I'm glad it has worked for you, but I could not with a clear conscious ever recommend it to anyone.

I will enjoy my pizza and ice cream while getting ripped. I live the greatest lifestyle a fat person could ever live.

"Where is your factual source of information on this?"

On my experience? My experience is what it is. I can only attest to my personal experience. Will this work for everyone. NOPE - It did not work at all for my wife. She had to stop after 2 weeks. But my numbers don't lie. I weighed 355 on June 15 of this year. Today I weigh 293. That's a fact.

Oops Russllb97... but actually...

Starvation mode is a state in which the body is responding to prolonged periods of low caloric intake levels. During short periods of caloric abstinence, the human body will burn primarily free fatty acids from body fat stores. After prolonged periods of starvation the body has depleted its body fat and begins to burn lean tissue and muscle as a fuel source.[2]

Ordinarily, the body responds to reduced caloric intake by burning fat reserves first, and only consumes muscle and other tissues when those reserves are exhausted. Specifically, the body burns fat after first exhausting the contents of the digestive tract along with glycogen reserves stored in muscle and liver cells.[3] After prolonged periods of starvation, the body will utilize the proteins within muscle tissue as a fuel source. People who practice fasting on a regular basis, such as those adhering to caloric restricted diets, can prime their bodies to abstain from food without burning lean tissue.[4]. Resistance training (such as weight lifting) can also prevent the loss of muscle mass while a person is caloric restricted.

Most of the injections come with an appetite suppressant and b12. So you get a magic shot, the b12 gives you energy and you feel amazing, the suppressant makes you not hungry, and viola hcg is the best thing every.

And if you lost 50 lbs I fat and gained 3 lbs of muscle either your feet were a little bit sweaty when you stepped on the scale, you had a half ounce of water in your bladder, or any number of things. I've made a BF scale say I lost 9% BF and no weight within 30 minutes. Impedance measurements suck, and can't be trusted, so basically I'm explaining that you didn't.

This is not the same as a diet induced starvation mode. That is extreme famine. The last thing our body wants to do is burn up our muscles for energy because that's what happens just before we DIE from starvation.
This has to do with how our body slows metabolism to burn less fat and increase our hunger(leptin)

Why don't you just let me pee in your mouth instead?

Great post!

Oops - sorry. Did not do the B-12

This has been fun - but I gotts to go. I'll check back tomorrow.

A good rule of thumb to remember: Healthy living is a lifestyle. Whatever you do to lose the weight is what you will have to do to maintain the weight.... drops, pills, starvation, portion control, exercise, whatever. I lost 60 lbs. and have kept it off for over 10 years. I didn't gain it all in an instant, so expecting to lose it in an instant was not even a thought. Living the rest of my life healthy is not a quick fix... I want it to last a really long time

And if I didn't make it very clear, I did NOT use hCG drops to lose the weight. I ate less and moved more

I did the injections and lost 30 pounds. I regulated my calories based on the way I felt. Typically I ate closer to 600 or 700 mark each day. This diet is not for everyone.

This is exactly my approach. I've lost 66 pounds since June 15 (Today is Oct 2)
