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

Why does the question of exercise come up so much? Most people feel happy that they won't have to exercise, but they want some reassurance that it's actually true. Others just don't believe it. Still other people actually want to exercise, and want to know what to do.

Fact: You Truly Don't Need to Exercise

First of all, it's true! You don't need to exercise while taking HCG drops. In reality, heavy exercise is discouraged. Although HCG drops ensure that your stored fat deposits are continually available for your body to use as calories, you aren't getting a lot of food directly through the stomach. Because of this, you don't have much energy available for emergency use. It takes some time for stored fat to be broken down and converted to energy. Heavy exercise will very quickly cause you to become exhausted and hungry as your body attempts to find a quick energy source.

Because of this, exercise increases feelings of exhaustion and hunger. On the other hand, you can lose a lot of weight while feeling excellent and full of energy just by avoiding heavy exercise.

If You Truly Want To Exercise

If you are already a compulsive exerciser, and you want to keep up the routine, there is a way to do it. However, you might have less weight loss than you would otherwise, so use this idea with caution. First, you need to calculate how many calories your exercise burns. Times that amount by 0.75 and add the result to your daily calorie intake on the HCG diet. Continue your normal schedule with HCG drops, and comply with all the other regulations. Theoretically this will allow you to lose weight and still continue your exercise regimen. But it's not part of the proven diet protocol, and you may find your weight loss to be less than it would have been.

Suggestions

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 establish the healthy habits you'll need to maintain your weight and your healthy life even after you're finished with your HCG drops.
