HCG Diet Made Simple – Fifth Edition – Oct 2011
Dear hCG Diet Friends,
I’ve gotten lots of feedback from my readers over the almost two years that the HCG Diet Made Simple book has been in print form (having been in eBook form for two years first). One of the most common comments that I hear is that the book is too large to carry in a pocket or purse, in order to be able to quickly refer to it when shopping or away from home.
One of the most important things to me is that my information be able to be used effectively to make an HCG Dieter’s experience of weight release the best that it can possibly be. For that reason, I am publishing this new smaller footprint 2011-updated revision of the original book to provide that more portable version that so many have requested.
To read my personal story of weight loss with hCG, visit www.hcgdietmadesimple.com
Blessings with Love,
Harmony
P.S. Please email me when you have reduced below 200 pounds, if you start out above that, so that I can personally tell you, Welcome to ONE-derland! Onward and downward!! (on the scale, that is).
Any other major milestone emails are also happily welcomed!
P.P.S. If you have Google Goggles or another QR code scanner installed on your Smartphone, don’t miss the three QR codes in the book and on the cover. Most Smartphones have free apps available to scan these codes. Just check where you buy your phone apps and join the fun!
