4. MyBodyRx
Looking to drop some winter pounds? We highly recommend MyBodyRX, a version of the HCG hormone diet administered locally by Cantrell Drug Store. The program consists of 23-40 days (depending on how much weight one wishes to lose) of hormone drops and a very restrictive diet. Hard? Very. But the results are amazingly quick and long-lasting. Under the supervision of a physician and nurse practitioner, one of our staff members shed 15 pounds in 23 days, dropping from a size 12 to a size 8 in no time.
