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 have been using this product for 3 days and it is working great for me. No desire to snack much at work during the day or in the evenings at home. I was a big sweets snacker before all day. This has been very easy to handle. I love drinking slim fast for breakfast so I have been adding it to my slim fast. It is great with no after taste. I have my second one around 3pm, adding it to low calorie hot chocolate or yogurt. It is better in the hot chocolate, leaves no after taste. Looking forward to my 4th day.

After reding all the positive reviews i tried it and found that It taste HORRIBLE --just like PLAY-DOH. I feel the need to eat just as much and my appetite is no different. I just wasted almost $30 on this.

To me it sounds as if this stuff is really on point. Too many people are for it. So, it leaves me with no choice but to try it. Wish me luck!

So far I am very pleased with the slim shots. I started them about 5 days ago and have lost 4 pounds. I take mine about 11:00 or so and then about 3 or 4 in the afternoon. No side effects, or trouble sleeping. It has really helped me with my snacking..that is my biggest problem. Food is no longer always on my mind....so far I am very HAPPY with this. I personally like the way they taste. I'll keep you posted on how the next week or so goes...Good luck to all who try it.

They work. They make you feel full. You don't eat as much. Plain and simple. I too wanted to make sure there weren't any stimulants, and Slim Shots produce NO side effects. They are working great so far, and I've lost 7 pounds in a week!

I started Slim Shots last week and I have lost 4 pounds!!! They really do make you feel full and eat less. I am a big side effect person, and these give you NONE! I would give this a 5 out of 5 stars. i take one around noon and then another around 4 or 5, this stops my night time starving. i am on a low fat diet plan and very little exercise with the Slim Shots, so if you are looking for the "miracle pill", "fix everything", this is not it, BUT it really does help TONS.

Slim Shots definitely curb my appetite. I have been taking them for a week now and have noticed a very substantial loss of appetite and desire to snack between meals. Portion control has always been incredibly difficult for me. The exercising and water intake I can do, controlling my appetite is what I find hard. Slim Shots is doing that for me.

They work! I eat less and I don't snack from dinner time to bed time. That was my time to snack. My world does not revolve around the next snack or meal. I've started excerising again and I feel great. Now lets see if all this can get me to my goal weight which is 55lbs less than what I am now. In the last month I've lost 15lbs. Most of that is because I cut out all fast food. I started slim shots 4 days ago and I just don't eat as much now. It's great!!

Iv started taking these 2 days ago, and i feel its having an effect already. I havent been eating as much as much as i used to and already feel a little lighter. clothes feel looser too...im using them with a healthy diet and plenty of exercise. Dont expect to lose anything with purely taking slimshot. Keep motivated everyone! :)

I've been taking coconut oil for a few weeks and feel fatter than ever, but I am going to continue. I have faith it will work eventually. Cheaper than these Slim Shots.
