There's no scientific evidence that the HCG does anything to help you lose weight -- it's the starvation diet that does it.

500 calories a day on the hcg diet protocol isn't bad, because the hcg is releasing stored fats and you are living of the stored fats as well as the 500 calories. I lost over 20 pounds on it over a two years ago, but had gained 5 pounds back do to food intolerance.  I have just finished a three day juice fast and lost 7 pounds.  I plan to eat two meals and day and juice at night to keep my system flushed from toxins that was causing my weight gain.

Do not eat only 500 calories a day, that is extremley unhealthy. Look for a new diet. Do not starve yourself. Eating 1200 is what I would recomend. It's high enough that  you can still eat three meals a day, but not low enough that you're starving yourself from nutrients that you need.

A 500 calorie diet is a starvation diet and is not safe.  Your body can not live on 500 calories/day.
