Do You Know the Best Diet Pills of 2024?
BACKGROUND
If you're looking to curb your appetite, now you can take a shot. Slim Shots triggers the body's natural appetite control mechanism, also known as the ileal brake, satisfying users for long periods of time and in turn, allowing them to eat less, without sacrificing or depriving themselves of tasty foods. You can drink Slim Shots by itself or mix it with your favorite food or drink.
For the best results, you take two shots a day (20 calories each) the first week, then after that, just once during breakfast. Slim Shots is supposed to start working a couple hours after you take it. It has no stimulants, so there are no jittery side effects.
The company rightly advises that you need to do Slim Shots in conjunction with a balanced diet and exercise.
PRO
- The Slim Shots website offers clinical studies
- It doesn't act like a cure all, stating that you need to live a healthy lifestyle as well
- Convenient cups travel with you
- No side effects
CON
- Slim Shot is not FDA approved
- There isn't a clear and concise idea of how it actually works, doesn't give specifics about how the ingredients affect change
- Each shot contains 20 calories
- Ingredient Phenylalanine (50% of aspartame), can have dangerous effects for diabetics and those with ADD/ADHD
- Should not be taken by those patients with PKU
INGREDIENTS
Slim Shots contains natural oat, palm oil, artificial vanilla flavor, sweetener, aspartame (Phenylalanine) and beta carotene color.
Phenylalanine makes of 50% of aspartame, an artificial sweetner commonly used in diet products. ADD/ADHD patients and diabetics may experience negative side effects as a result of consuming this ingredient. Those with PKU, or at risk for PKU, should avoid Phenylalanine as it can cause brain damage or even death.
EXERCISE
Unlike many other supplement websites, the Slim Shots site gives relatively in-depth nutritional advice. The exercise advice is very rudimentary: Commit to work out three times a week for 30 to 45 minutes. It also advises that you join a fitness class or devise a home workout routine that incorporates both aerobic and strength training.
CONCLUSION
The editorial tone on the Slim Shots website doesn't lead you to believe that the company is in the snake oil business. There are clinical studies posted, and good advice about how you should eat and exercise. Even though the language is not over-hyped, there still is some question as to how Slim Shots actually works.
Ultimately, it's up to the consumer to decide if it's worth, um, a shot.

+It seems a lot of people aren't reading on the Slim Shot box that it can take two to three days to start working for some people. For me it takes three days. I took Slim Shots last year and lost ten pounds in a month. When I stopped taking it the old cravings came back. I'm trying it again and will try to be more aware that the "crutch" is gone once I stop.....

+To PJ- I had a bad experience with the taste when i mixed it with milk. It tasted pretty bad.
posted Jun 3rd, 2009 10:34 pmBesides the 1 bad taste experience I've had really good results with this product.
I am not nearly as hungry as I normally am, and I'm also not snacking. I have started to notice that I even turn down food when I'm not starving.
Combining Slim Shots with exercise and healthy eating has me convinced that I'll achieve my desired results.
If anyone is struggling to lose weight - try it. It's worked for me, and I've struggled with my weight for a really, really long time!
Best of luck!

My "vanilla flavor" slim shots, have a rancid taste, anyone else have this type of taste, or is something wrong with mine.

+I have been taking slim shots for a week now and I have notice a big difference in my appetite. I take a shot in the morning and I may have a yogurt if that. Then at 12 noon I take another one and eat maybe a small salad and by dinner I dont even want dinner. My clothes are starting to loosen up and I feel great.

-didn't make an effect of weight

-This product does not control my appetite, instead I am eating MORE than I normally do. It must be an effect that it has on some people--but it tastes horrible and I'm eating like a pig the more shots I take.

I bought these shots after reading all the reviews. I took my first shot this morning at 8am and it was like I had never taken it. It did nothing for me. We�??ll see what happens when I take my next one at around 3pm. The taste is not as bad as people describe it...it has a vanilla/nutty taste to it and it's not bad at all...I'd swallow anything as long as it'd give me the results I wanted. :) But so far, my first shot didn't do that.
posted May 13th, 2009 3:38 pmI started eating healthy again this past Monday and have been walking/jogging 2.5 miles so if the shot don't work for me, I'll still try my hardest to lose the 50lbs I need to get rid of. Good luck to everyone and I'll definitely keep everyone posted on how the next few shots work for me. :)

Hi, I have a question for Janette82, how does the metamucil work with the slim shots? Does it make you have to use the restroom? Just wondering. I think me somewhat, but I more to be on them for a few weeks to really give a true opinion.

+slimshots works for me. It's been 1 week and I have lost 3 1/2 lbs. The taste is not bad at all. I take my slim shot everyday at 2:00 pm. I eat breakfast have a snack lunch have a snack exercise 30min after work have dinner run for 30 min after and my day is done. I use to snack after dinner but taking slim shot after 2 pm I don't even think of food at night. I only have 10lbs to loose and slim shots will help me do it. congrats to those who love the product and it's working for them. For those who disagree I say try it for 1 mth and if it still doesn't work then this is not the product for you. I say use this product but keep active and drink plenty of water and eat smaller healthier meals as they recommend you do and you will see results.

-HEAL ALERT:Slimshots does have stimulants. I called the slimshots number and the rep acknowledged there are stimulants. I also know because when I take it, after a day or two, i get nervouse-beware if you have high blood pressure.

+I love this product. I have been using it for a week and it works amazing. I am really focused on losing weight before my birthday so I take my first slimshot in the morning with a glass of metamucil. Its amazing how much that combination stops hunger throughout the day. Then I take my second one around 2 pm and it works for the rest of the night!

i JUST STARTED TAKING THE SHOTS, I AM GOING TO TAKE THEM 2 HOURS BEFORE I EAT, WITH A PIECE OF FRUIT. BECAUSE THEY SAY IT TAKES 2 HOURS TO TAKE EFFECT, AND IT SHOULD LAST 8 HOURS. SO THAT WAY HOPEFULLY I WILL EAT LESS A MEALTIMES AND LESS SNACKS! WILL POST AFTER THE WEEKEND (THATS MY WORST TIME FOR EATING!!!)

+i've been using it for about a week, and to be perfectly honest, i haven't even been consistent. i feel like my appetite is really affected. i THINK i want to eat my regular emotionally satisfying foods and by the time i grab something, i just dont have the desire to consume it.
posted May 3rd, 2009 11:35 pmi regularly eat healthy meals, hardly any fast foods etc. but, my biggest issue is portion control. with slim shots i eat much smaller portions and feel full. i feel like it just helps me eat what i need to eat and cut out all the snacking and over-eating.

I bought the product today, after reading many of your posts. Thanks Lisa for the updates. I plan to update as well.
posted May 3rd, 2009 8:01 pmAbout a year ago I was determined to lose weight. I went from 195 to 135 in about a years time, with the help of my Dr. I am starting to slip up. I noticed my clothes getting tighter ...I got on the scales a few days ago and was shocked...I had gained almost 20 lbs back. I can't let this happen. I know who to have portion control, exercise, and eat healthy foods. But right now, I know I am eating emotionally. I am consumed in my career and family....
Lisa, I am going to keep updating at least weekly....I don't care if it tastes nasty. It has to work!!!
Baby
The products very good but your site sucks...you ask to many questions and expect us to put up with your junk mail ?
