In Pounds and Inches, written by Dr. Simeons, it states that the HCG diet should be done for a minumum of 21 days to ensure that the hypothalamus is properly reset so that the weight lost will be permanent. He goes on to state the maximum amount of time one should be on the HCG diet is 40 days, because at that time people can start to show signs of immunity, where the body starts breaking down and eliminating the HCG rapidly. Now there are homeopathic HCG sub-lingual drops which are just as effective as the injected HCG was before, only you can take them longer as immunity is not an issue with homeopathic drops. You can take them for up to 60 days.
