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 started vanilla Slim Shots 4 days ago. The first 3 days, I didn't notice much difference in the amount of food I ate, but I didn't seem to crave as much in between meals. However, today when I woke up, I had no appetite at all, and had to literally force myself to eat a small muffin so I could take my medicine. Four hours later, I have just eaten one small slice of pizza, and I am FULL! If this continues, I am sold, despite the horrible taste. (I just shoot it to the back of my tongue, swallow, and follow with a drink of something... Next time I will try the choclate flavor) .
posted Nov 6th, 2009 5:44 pmAlso, I would suggest that if you are not eating much while you are on Slim Sorts that you eat a variety of nutritionaly dense foods and/or take a multi-vitamin to be insure you are getting the nutrition your body needs to stay healthy. I plan to do this also, as well as getting back on my exercise program. Good luck everyone!

i am not sure about these. i started using them yesterday, and didn't see any change. i'll keep using the rest of the box to see if it takes some time. also, why are you supposed to take it with food when it takes 2-3 hours to work? how does that help?

+I agree that the taste is not as good as a piece of chocolate cake, but who the hell cares. It does drastically curb appetite,Yesterday I ate no breakfast, a lein cuisine meal for lunch and one pice of fried chicken for supper and I had to make myself do that because of the growling in my stomach. I really didnt want anything at all to eat . I love this stuff

+Slimshots is not meant to be something you take more than once (meaning one box) because it actually changes the way you eat. I used the entire box of slimshots and I have lost 7 lbs.(and been losing since last month). It is kind of like a "reset" button. Maybe it won't work for everyone but let me tell you, I have never taken a diet product that has been this effective with pretty much no side effects. Sure, the shots taste nasty but they cut your appetite in half, and after you have retrained yourself to eat less, you shouldn't need Slimshots for awhile (not until the holidays roll around, anyway). I highly recommend SlimShots as a short term diet aid.

-I purchased Slim Shots from WalMart. I used it as directed and it had no effect on me at all. When I tried to return it to WalMart they refused to take it back because it was used and told me to contact the manufacturer. I did and they refused to refund my money because I did not buy it directly from them, they said I would have to return it to WalMart. I would not recommend Slim Shots. It doesn't work, ,I am out $21 and it is now in the trash.

+I like the product. The taste was okay not too bad and it helps me not think about food. I also recommend trying this product...

-I ordered the shots and the next day received an e-mail: " Thanks for registering with vacationsavers.ca" I disregarded my e-mail as I thought it was just a junk e-mail. Not untill 10 days later, I check my credit card statement. I was charged 19.95 twice and 1.95 twice from vacationsavers.ca and bargainlink.ca. It is the biggest scam, I have ever seen in my life. They are selling your information including credit card info! Please check your credit cards statements and report freud if you were scammed.

-I have to say it did not suppress my appetite, I actually wanted to eat?

+So Far so good. I am about 154 and looking to lose 15 pounds. I have a toddler and a husband with a busy schedule so I hardly have time to workout by myself. Today is my first day taking it, I took it around 2:00 with my lunch and my snacking didn't take over my body. I have a late schedule so may take another one, haven't decided yet.

+i am just starting it, it is ok i just wish the weight would come off faster.i guest i have to keep going to the gym and working at it.

+It works. I don't feel as hungry. I'm barely snacking between meals and I don't even have to think about it. I take one in the morning with breakfast. I don't feel the need for the optional lunch dose. I chose these because they don't contain caffeine like a lot of the other ones did. I enjoy drinking coffee and prefer to get my caffeine (if any) that way.

Im one of those ppl that never believes ads on tv & i usually disregard the product their trying to sale, but ive read a few reviews on slimshots so i thought why not give it a shot lol & if it doesnt work oh well at least i tried. I bought slimshots today at walmart for $21, came with 20 shots i think & i already took one at 6pm & i usually snack around 9-10pm, well i dont feel hungry at all! Im hoping i start to gradually see some good results with my weight. I will continue to take them until i finish the whole case & will let you all know my experience with slimshots, hope its good!

+CVS was having a sale on Slim Shots, buy 1 get 1. So I decided to try it, I bought 2 chocolate, the flavor reminds me of nuts, I took one at 11:30am, and then again at 3:30, by 7:00pm i was hungry, but kept myself from eating. I'm going to continue taking them, and see what happens. And for everyone that is saying the taste is unbareable, i guess it really just depends on how bad you want to lose the weight. But, I do recommend it :)
