500 calories a day to lose weight

***Warning this should only be done when on the HCG diet program***

500 calories a day is what you need to be eating to complete this type of diet correctly for a woman when aiming for maximum fat loss. For men, this figure is around 700 calories a day mark. See more about this on the Daily Calorie Needs Calculator.

This is the first diet plan I put online, and what helped me lose weight after my 3rd child. I do not recommend this if you have health conditions or do not have a good understanding of the HGC drops, or plans that are available today.

For I more long-term approach to losing weight, please see our most popular plan at 1200 Calories a day.

This has mostly low glycemic index foods, and most of all they are filling and colorful. Also, the list of items needed is reasonable without the need for any complicated cooking instructions.
