There are different forms of HCG. The most popular form is a bottled liquid mixture with other fat-burning herbs and chemicals. HCG drops are typically administered under the tongue via an eye dropper. They contain proprietary combinations of thyroid boosters and metabolism enhancers. There is a complicated way of administering the drops which the users do by themselves. Weight loss of between 10 to 20 pounds is said to have been achieved in three to four weeks.
When the HCG diet plan was first introduced by Dr. A. T. W. Simeons, it was administered by means injection. It has since evolved into a more convenient method via the drops. Both methods are in use. Drop users complain about the need for refrigeration. But inserting a needle into the body is much more inconvenient and painful. Whichever way of administering is chosen, unwavering commitment is a requirement.

My cousin Tracy has been an avid Bowflex distributor for the last 10 years. After she tried the Bowflex workout program back in 2000, she became instantly hooked to the ease of exercise Bowflex machines deliver. She started out with the basic, power-rod resistance model, but now she practically has a complete Bowflex gym in her unfinished basement.
So, getting back to my story, she became a Bowflex dealer in 2001 because she loves the Bowflex exercise tools so much. She has her own website, more like a blog actually, that she uses to keep a diary of her daily exercise and her fitness results. She is determined to show other just how great a Bowflex workout can be and hopes to make sales through her impressive stories.
