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.

I just ordered them today. Online yes it is buy one get one for free but if you chooes the s&h for the $8 you are not on a montlhy commitment. I am afraid of getting caught in that too but I called as a follow up and they assured me that I am not on a mothly plan. I can always call when I recieve them to make sure & if I am xo right then and there.
posted Feb 12th, 2009 9:53 amIts important that a good eating habbit is established and some walking or activity three times a week. Your bodys metab goes into over drive for like 72hrs, so that is wht every other day should be good for most. We are in control of our weight loss, not a pill or a shot... its just there to help but ultimitally we decide too losed weight as we do to quit smoking or stop drinking or even giving something up for lent... its about the mind and inner soul. I wish everyone the best of luck, and note that all products are not made for all of us. Find your happiness and you will achieve anything you want!! Good luck everyone! I will post after I have tried them and have given it a week. Good luck!!!!!!

I bought this today and I'm ecstatic!! This is the answer!! Who would have guessed! Two simple little creamers and my appetite is much reduced, no jitters, I ate less, and the taste is not as bad as eveyone says. Just swallow it and have something handy as a chaser.
posted Feb 11th, 2009 9:12 pmI can't tell you how excited I am. I'm going to look great this summer!!! Wow!! At last!!

-I bought this product because of the majority of positive reviews here. Unfortunately, Slim Shots did not work for me AT ALL! I even increased the dosage to three times a day but I my appetite did not change. I had great hopes.

+I don't mind the taste at all. I'm on day four. I have had some stomach discomfort, but I don't know if it's the SlimShots. Nothing I can't live with. I'm suffering from menopausal weight gain. It's the pits! I don't eat very much, but my bod has turned to FAT! Ugh! I'm so depressed. I'm trying to do 3-4 miles on my treadmill every day, so we'll see what happens. Good luck to all of us!!!

-it works really really slow and i didn't really any results. tin the beginning the taste was fine BUT after a week i couldn't stand the it, the taste or the smell was just terrible. i tried to mix it was think, such as coffee, yogurt, cereals, but nothing could have hid that taste. i still some left but i can't make myself take any more, i want to vomit just thinking about the taste.

I had not read any reviews before buying slim shots. I had lost 40 pounds 2 years ago and let 10# sneak up on me this winter and wanted a little extra help to take it back off. This is my experience.
posted Feb 6th, 2009 4:03 pmDay 1: Just drank it like a shot. As soon as my taste buds realized what I had done, my stomach said HELL NO! The slim shots, my fiber one ceral, 2 cups of coffee and my orange juice immediately came back up. Not only did I have the nasty taste in my mouth, but also nasal cavities.Not good
Day 2: I thought since I had paid 30 bucks for this sludge I would try again. This time I put it in my coffee along with about 5 packs of Splenda, and 1/2 cup of creamer. I could see the oil floating on top, ruined my coffee but choked it down. Not good.
Day 3: Mixed it in my strawberry yogart. Not good
Day 4: Mixed it in my strawberry yogart, added nuts and chocolate chips. I could still taste it 5 hours later. Better, but Not Good.
Day 5: Which is today. Did the yogart thing again, but chased each bite with a drink of diet Pepsi. Have noticed that my appetite is less, but not sure if it is because my stomach is queasy. The package said "pleasant tasting" just wondering who they asked. A landfill rat? Weighed myself day 1 and plan to wait till the end of 30 days to weigh again so that I can see true results. Wish me luck...burp.

Just bought them today and took a few minutes ago, nothing yet. However, I didn't find the taste as bad as everyone's making it out to be. It was like a creamer with a slight after taste.

I took this product for 1 full week and it did nothing for me. I had very high hopes, but it was a waste of my time.

+I just purchased Slimshots through their website. They have a special buy one month get one month free plus $7.99 for shipping or they have the same deal with free shipping BUT it is an automatic payment every month and after two months the price goes down to $14.99. I think the website explains it better than I do! I purchased the buy 1 month get one month free and paid the shipping and handling because who knows if I will like it, I hope I do!

-This stuff is so nasty tasting that I vomited the first time I tried it -- I did persevere and took it a few more times. I do believe it suppressed my appetite, but the disgusting taste just isn't worth it and I'm going to throw out the remainder of the box.

+I have tried alot of things. I have no idea how these work but they do. I great break through I guess. No side effects!! Now if I can just behave myself I should do well.
posted Feb 2nd, 2009 9:33 pmRobin
+The taste is okay. It works. I am a constant eater, morning thru to night. This definitely curbs the appetite. No side effects for me. Sometimes one shot per day, sometimes two. One week and have lost 2 pounds, just by eating less. I eat healthy anyway, but eat a lot.
posted Feb 2nd, 2009 2:23 pmThis stuff is great. Even when I get to my goal, I'll still keep some on hand to use once or twice a week to keep on track.
