Trying to lose about 100 pounds may seem like to take forever. But sometimes rushing things through can lead to a nasty cycle of losing and gaining weight. There are a lot of reasons why some overweight people consider the faster way of losing weight. It can be due to some health issues or upcoming events and they wanted to look at their best.

Dr. Simeon recommends taking a break of 6 weeks between round 1 and round 2. Then an additional of 2 weeks for every succeeding round until you will reach your goal weight. If you think you are not fit for this kind of fast-tracking journey, you may take a much longer break. Remember that when you do a longer hcg diet break, you are still living the healthier version from your previous self. Some dieters even have their break of 8-10 weeks before doing round 2. While some dieters have had their breaks of at least 3 to 4 months long. Those who are mentally motivated have had their entire journey with HCG with fewer breaks.

Below are reasons why longer breaks between rounds can be beneficial for you.

• You have your time to rest

Longer breaks give your body a time to rest and maintain internal balance. Losing weight faster causes your body to produces adrenal hormones than usual. In the long run, this can lead to fatigue.

• Time to do physical activities

Longer breaks give you time to do some exercises. Exercises help build-up your muscle loss while you were on the HCG. Not only that, movement helps melts and excretes some of those abnormal fats in your body through your urine and sweat.

• Time to attend upcoming events thus minimizes your chances of cheating

Longer breaks minimize your chances of cheating or worst stopping your round of HCG. There are times when circumstances are beyond your control. Sometimes, you don’t actually have a time that is completely clear to do the diet. It is important really to plan ahead and time out your round of HCG. Having a longer break and wait is a wise option.

• Develop new habits

Longer breaks give you time to think for ways not to fall back into your unhealthy eating habits. It forces you to make healthier corrections whenever the scale goes up. These healthier corrections will develop into a new habit that you’ll need to maintain a long-term weight goal.

How long do I need to wait before I can start with another round?

This is a very common question that most HCG dieters ask. Don’t get too excited. I know you want to get rid of those excess weights and get that beautiful body thing faster. However, there is a waiting time and it’s very important to DO the waiting time for its part of the hcg diet protocol. You can’t past the 23 days or the 46 days in a row.

Each round of HCG diet goes anywhere from a minimum of 23 days to a maximum of 46 days. You start with loading days (2 days) then Phase 2-Very low calorie diet phase (3-26 days or 3-46 days). When the main part of the diet is complete, there is a lock-in period of 3 weeks. This is the Phase 3 or the Maintenance phase (3 weeks). You have to complete each phase of the protocol. Once Phase 3 is complete you must wait a minimum of 6 weeks before you start with your second round. You can do multiple rounds to hit your goal weight.  Now when you do multiple rounds your break must be lengthened each time.

Waiting time for each round of the hCG diet as per Dr. Simeons instruction

Round 1 to Round 2:      6 weeks total

Round 2 to Round 3:      8 weeks total

Round 3 to Round 4:    10 weeks total

Round 4 to Round 5:    12 weeks total

2 weeks is added for every successive round. The amount of excess fats you need to shed will determine the number of rounds you should complete.

Remember, waiting time is VERY important. Why?

If you skip this break and start right away with your next round, you will see no further weight loss. According to Dr. Simeon, some dieter seemed to develop immunity to the hormone. When your body becomes immune to the effect of the hormone your weight loss will start to decrease. But once you take a break between each round your body will renew and you’ll likely to lose a lot of weight on your next round.

You may be asking right now when the best time is to have your shot of hCG diet. To get right down to it, there is actually no particular time to have your shot.  Say on your first day you started at 8 in the morning and then the next day at 8:10. Don’t worry it won’t affect your weight loss. It’s not going to cause you harm at all.

Dr. Simeons recommend hCG injections should be given in the morning. But what if your work is at night time? No worries too. It won’t affect your weight loss even if it’s changed around a bit.

The thing with hCG is:

1. No matter what time of the day you had your shot do your best to have it at the same time each day. You don’t have to take your shot at exactly the same time each day but see to it that they aren’t that close together. Your timing will keep a good amount of hormone in your body at all time. The hormone actually stays in your system for up to 3 days after your last shot.

Now if you missed a shot don’t freak out. Continue with your diet and have your shot the next day on the normal schedule. Always keep an hCG diet journal with you in case you cannot remember whether you have your shot or not.

2. See to it that you refrigerate your hCG properly and good to go. If in case you failed to refrigerate it for at least 6 hours, you have to replace it then. The hormone inside won’t be that effective anymore.

Most dieters choose to have their shots in the morning right after shower and weighing-ins. This would make it easier for them to remember. It can be difficult and challenging to remember to have your daily shot so I suggest that you associate it with your other daily routine. This will greatly help you.

It doesn’t matter what time of the day you choose to have your shot. As long there is a hormone that gets into your system every day and you keep your hcg vial refrigerated then you’re good to go.
