I am a male, i dont want to lose muscle, to maintain current muscular system i need a min of 70 grams of protein a day, and i tried the DIET to see if it was possible to do. Injecting oneself with hormones isnt a diet

If i dont do the protein sup i will get 40 grams of protein, not enough to repair muscle :P

Again, i am a male.

You are correct. Injecting yourself with hormones is not a diet. The HCG 'diet' Protocol is a hormone therapy for obesity. This is one of the reasons that it is imperative that one follow the Pounds and Inches protocol exactly in order to be successful. I have witnessed many folks who tried to do this with an "it's a diet" mentality who were not successful. So, in order to truly be successful, the protocol needs to be followed exactly as outlined in Pounds and Inches.

All that being said, it is dangerous to put yourself on a 500 calorie per day starvation diet. 500 calories is not enough to sustain you, especially being a male. And, even though you would loose weight on 500 calories per day, you would not be able to maintain the weight loss once you begin to eat normally.

HCG makes your body's own fat available to make up any metabolic calorie deficit you would have while on 500 calories. Without that mechanism, you are asking for trouble.
