If you’re on the HCG diet, you’re likely focused on achieving your weight loss goals and enjoying the numerous benefits this diet offers. However, life can sometimes throw unexpected curveballs that may lead to interruptions during the HCG diet.
Whether it’s a special occasion, travel, or personal circumstances, it’s important to know how to navigate these interruptions and stay on track.
When it comes to interrupting the HCG diet, it’s important to approach it strategically to minimize any setbacks and maintain progress. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do an HCG diet interruption:
During the interruption, you can enjoy a variety of foods to increase your calorie intake and prevent hunger and weakness. Here’s what you can eat:
“If an interruption of treatment lasting more than 4 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 the third day, as otherwise he will find himself so hungry and weak that he is unable to go about his usual occupation”.
In the case of an interruption for less than two weeks, the patient may immediately resume injections and the 500-calorie diet, but in the case of a longer interruption, he must again eat normally until his third injection has been administered.
If observing the 2-week limit for the interruption, there is no need to repeat the loading phase. You can resume the injections and the low-calorie diet the next day. The build-up of HCG in your system will require 3 days if the interruption lasts longer than 2 weeks.
“If the interval lasts less than two weeks the patient can directly resume injections and the 500-Calorie diet, but if the interruption lasts longer he must again eat normally until he has had his third injection. When a patient knows beforehand that he will have to travel and be absent for more than four days, it is always better to stop injections three days before he is due to leave so that he can have the three days of strict dieting which are necessary after the last injection at home. This saves him from the almost impossible task of having to arrange the 500-calorie diet while en route, and he can thus enjoy much greater dietary freedom from the day of his departure.”
It’s best to have a minimum of 20 days of an active cycle before considering an interruption, but sometimes it’s unavoidable. If you need to interrupt before the 20th day, there’s a chance you may regain some of the weight you’ve lost.
However, as long as you stick to the recommended guidelines, you can easily shed that weight once you resume your 500-calorie diet. So don’t worry too much about compromising your weight loss goals.
With proper adherence to the guidelines, you’ll be able to finish your round without any major setbacks. Remember, the key is to stay committed and get back on track as soon as possible.
“Interruptions occurring before 20 effective injections have been given are most undesirable, because with less than that number of injections, some weight is liable to be regained. After the 20th injection, an unavoidable interruption is merely a loss of time.”
Interruptions are a part of life and don’t have to derail your weight loss progress. Managing interruptions effectively is crucial for success on the HCG diet.
Remember, the HCG diet is a journey, and with the right strategies and mindset, you can overcome any interruptions that come your way. Stay committed, stay positive, and enjoy the transformative benefits the HCG diet can provide.
