How to Take a Break on a Holiday Season with HCG Diet

It is the time of the year that dieting becomes difficult for most even with HCG Diet. The only safest way to deviate from HCG Diet during this holiday season without getting additional weight is to do a planned break. Now, how are you going to take a break during this holiday season? How do you plan to cheat while on the HCG Diet?

From Dr. Simeon’s book “Pounds and Inches”- “If an interruption of treatment lasting more than four days is necessary, the patient must increase his diet to at least 800 calories by adding meat, eggs, cheese, and milk to his diet after that third day, as otherwise he will find himself so hungry and weak that he is unable to go about his usual occupation”.

What this means is that if you don’t want to do HCG Diet on holiday season like thanksgiving and Christmas, then you need to take a short break.

Here’s how…

1. Get off from the HCG the way you normally would.
2. Stop using the HCG hormone while you continue eating only 500 calories a day of HCG Diet approved phase 2 food for 72 hours or 3 days. This period is also known as the transition period. The 72 hours period start right away after the last dose of HCG.
3. Increase your calories intake to at least 800
4. While you are on HCG Diet break, eat only foods that are high in protein and low in carbs. Eat using the phase 3 style. This time you can include foods that’s rich in fats while you avoid all sugars and starches. Decide when you are going to get back on the HCG diet again.
5. The HCG Diet break can last up to 10 days.
6. If you plan to do the break in less than 10 days, you can get back on the diet without reloading. Continue the diet as normal. Simply have your daily hcg injections and resume with your 500 calories diet again. However, if you plan to have a longer break then you should reload if you want to go back to dieting again.

Dieting isn’t easy. If you don’t have to cheat then don’t but if you really have to cheat then take a short break. After the break, try to recover and get back on the HCG Diet as soon as possible.
