If you are indeed looking to buy HCG drops to help you lose weight quickly then here is a little info on what you should know before you do.

What are HCG Drops:

These are part of the HCG Diet Plan Protocol, which has taken the world by storm, with a tremendous amount of users claiming this is the only way to lose weight fast and and keep it off if you follow the plan exactly.

Can you believe that at last – there is a diet plan out there that actual users are saying will help you lose all the weight you want and and keep it off. Apparently the high success of this plan is due to the use of HCG drops along with a daily 500 calorie diet.

Now, wouldn’t you think that consuming only 500 calories a day will leave you hungry and lethargic? Not according to the huge amount of rave reviews from people who have had amazing weight loss results from this plan.

So what is behind this Diet Plan that is causing this furora:

Lets briefly, start at the beginning.

HCG or (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a natural hormone found in pregnant women.During pregnancy the hormone is produced to burn stored fat, allowing the fetus and expectant mother to receive all the nutrients they need.

The HCG Diet Protocol was put together by an English endocrinologist – Dr. A.T.W. Simeons, who apparently believed that a low 500 calorie diet together with his HCG formula will be an effective treatment for obesity, because HCG targets unwanted fat and releases it to be burned as calories, your appetite is controlled as you lose weight.

Due to his strong belief he went ahead and wrote a book called “Pounds and Inches” and this is where the modern day HCG Diet Plan has stemmed from. Although the original protocol used HCG intravenously the oral drops have proven to have the same effect and is much easier to take.

So if you want to buy HCG drops to rid yourself of unwanted weight, then ensure you find a plan that closely follows Dr Simeons protocol, which calls for a daily 500 calorie diet consisting of only lean protein, vegetables and fruit along with taking enough drops of HCG to make the diet effective. By doing this, the consensus of most users is that you will achieve a weight loss of 1 or 2 pounds per day.

Are All HCG Drops The Same:

Evidently, there are fake HCG drops circulating, so be very careful where you buy HCG drops. You need to buy from a reputable company that manufacture their own or source their product from a reliable US company.

The complete plan should include everything you need to get started so there is no confusion for you, you need to have their full support throughout your diet and whoever you buy HCG drops from, please make sure they offer a money back guarantee, if for some reason you are unhappy.

Because I wanted first hand knowledge, I have 3 people under my watchful eye. They are 12 days on and are all doing very well so far, especially Mel who manages to lose between 1.6 and 3.1 pounds each day while Shane and Nicola are on a par at around 1 pound a day. I will post a full honest report on my website when they have completed their cycle, which will include everything from their diaries – So – Watch this space! So Yes – I believe the HCG Diet Plan is worth a go!

A weight loss stall while on phase 2 of the hCG diet can occur even when you have followed the diet strict and have been perfect on protocol days before. You rush to the scale in the morning, so excited to see how much weight you have lost… and to your surprise, the scale has not moved. Everyone will experience their first stall somewhere between day 8 and day 11.

Why does a stall occur when you have been so strict and staying on protocol? After the first week on Phase 2, it is common for the body to fight you in dropping more weight. Your body is catching up with the rapid weight loss from the first 7-10 days which is where you will lose the most weight. Ignore this stall and move forward by staying POP (perfect on protocol) and the losses will come. They always do. Keep in mind that what you don’t see on the scale, you are losing in inches so it is best to keep accurate recorded measurements at least every 3 days.

Stalls can last anywhere from 1 day up to 5 days of no weight loss. A stall beyond 5 days is usually an indicator of another issue such as excess salt-induced water retention, constipation, lactose intolerance, menses, illness, prescription medications or eating off protocol.

If your stall does not break after 3-4 days of staying POP, you may try my most popular stall breaker, the Cantaloupe Plateau Breaker; at bedtime, eat half of a medium-sized cantaloupe (make sure to cut it yourself) and drink 16 oz. of water right before you lay down to sleep. You should lose between 0.5-3 pounds the following morning. Cantaloupe, a natural diuretic assists in pulling water out of the fat cell and this action works best while you are asleep. For dieters on the 500 calorie protocol, the 1/2 cantaloupe at bedtime will be your second fruit of the day. For dieters on the 800 calorie protocol, the 1/2 cantaloupe at bedtime will be your third fruit of the day. There is a 99% success rate for both protocols in P2. It really works!

The challenges of losing weight are definitely frustrating at times. We all go through the highs and lows and try to accept what we see on the scale, even if it not in our favor. A stall is expected and is part of the program. Also, it is very important to remain positive about your weight loss.Studies have shown that dieters who maintain a positive attitude about their weight loss actually lose more weight. Dieters that have a good coaching support system will also lose more weight and obtain their weight loss goals. A weight loss stall is expected so keep your chin up, move forward and then downward and remember if you stay POP, you will DROP.

Many people sign up for affiliate programs with the hopes of making some serious money. They advertise a few places and then wait for the money to start pouring in. When it doesn’t, they blame it on the program and quit.

I am convinced the only way to make money online is to have a consistent Advertising plan. A plan you are willing to work hard on and commit to for a selected period of time. When making this plan, you need to do two things. First, you should pick a few affiliate programs that are of interest to you. Second, you need to decide how long you want to work these programs. Once you decide on a time period (I recommend 6 months to a year), you must make a promise to yourself that you will not stop advertising until that time period is up. This is perhaps the most important factor in your success.

Next, you need to consider your advertising options: traffic exchanges, classified ads, e-mail campaigns, EzineArticles, posting to forums or message boards, chatting with others who are interested in what you have to offer, and posting flyers around your town. Now you see the many possible advertising avenues you can choose from. I recommend doing all of them. It may sound like a lot of work, but when broken down into a plan, it is not.

One possible plan may look like this: Traffic Exchanges-1 hour per day. Post 15 classified ads per day. Make 5 posts to a message board or forum per day. Submit an article once per week to an ezine. Visit chat rooms and distribute flyers as you have extra time during the week. This all can be accomplished by spending 2-3 hours per day. You will be surprised how much you get done when you have a plan. You may also choose whether you will work 5 or 6 days per week. Make a checklist for each day of the week, and mark each task off as you finish it. That will keep you on focus, and will make you feel good that you are one step closer to reaching your goal.

Make a commitment to your new plan and don’t get involved in any other programs until your current programs are making you money consistently. Don’t give up. Sticking with this plan will significantly improve your success. Remember, Advertise, Advertise, Advertise.

Successful brokers and advisors basically have their own business regardless of where they work. The client investment business is a self-starter and largely commission based industry, so a broker must rely on his own production for survival anyway. When does the in-office support staff and other benefits of a large office get outweighed by the chance to independent and start your own brokerage firm office for higher payouts?

20 years ago the brokerage business was very different. With no Internet or Intranets to maximize communications, brokers were generally housed in large offices in metropolitan centers and cities. That is where the action was, and it was simply too difficult for a broker or the firm to effectively communicate with each other. Supporting “one person” or “two person” outside offices, in Scottsdale Arizona for instance was tough.
Successful brokers who wanted to start their own office could, but the number of firms that could support them (trading, customer service etc.) was limited then and some firms just wouldn’t do it or some weren’t able to do it.

Recently, opportunities for Independent Brokerage firms and the producers looking for them have never been better or easier. With everyone connected by computer, and the software available to support the broker and his customers, the start-up steps really are simple now. These opportunities do not just apply to producing NASD brokers and financial advisors, but with other financial people such as:

CPA’s

A CPA or accounting firm had many trusted clients and a large number of CPA’s have connected themselves to brokerage firms, where they can place trades for clients out of their own office through the firm they have joined (once they are licensed).

Other financial people that benefit from an independent NASD firm relationship also include: Mortgage brokers, Insurance agents, Real Estate brokers and attorneys.

Start your own NASD firm or become an independent of an existing firm?

For 95% of the people looking to start their own office, starting your own NASD firm is NOT the way to go. To become an NASD firm, you must file a membership to the NASD. This filing process includes a substantial amount of fees and requirements. Not the least is a minimum net capital requirement of $5,000 (for introducing brokers who do not hold customer money). If you plan on clearing and holding your customers money, the net capital climbs up to $250,000. You also have to provide everything yourself. Tickets, confirms, a compliance department etc. This route should only be for groups of producing brokers with large amounts of money under management who wish to establish their own brand name. There really is no other reason.

For everyone else, hooking up with an established independent brokerage firm to open up your home office is a better way to go. Payouts can range from 65% up to 95% of gross production. Payout percentages will increase based on the amount of money you are making. You pay your very basics (rent, phone, insurance etc.), but the firm handles all of your trades and processes them. They send the confirms, not you. It allows you to focus on your business and not worry about areas that the firm can take care of for you. Almost all of these firms have ongoing online training and seminars that connects the offices to each other. You can open an office in any state the firm is registered in and live the life you deserve. Our company, American Investment Training (AIT) works with several firms that use us for training and are looking for impressive people to start their own office.

Look forward to your future while spending more time doing what you like to do. Become an Independent Broker, and have your own money management enterprise in your home or your own office.

Good luck!
