The original protocol by Dr. Simeons was standard 2 days for most people. On occasion he would have his patients load for more days if they seemed really malnourished for some reason. Some weight loss clinics do a standard 3 day loading phase.
As far as deciding on whether or not to load 2 or 3 days I have an article to help you decide:
