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. Even though there is a "How it Works" page, it doesn't give specifics about how the ingredients affect change.
- Each shot contains 20 calories
INGREDIENTS
Slim Shots contains natural oat, palm oil, artificial vanilla flavor, and sweetener.
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.
EXPENSE
A one-month supply of Slim Shots costs $39.99. Buy two for $79.98 and get the third month free.
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 overhyped, 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.
Common Misspellings
SlimShots, SlimShot, Slim Shot, Slimming Shot, Slimming Shots, slimshots.com
greg: I plan to research this diet some more but from this article it sounds suspicious. I live in San Antonio and we had a huge fad with a product called Body Solutions that also stressed the diet and exercise aspect. Investigation of the product by authorities revealed that the pills weren't doing anything but people were losing weight through a healthier lifestyle. I'm wondering if this isn't something along those same lines. Diets seem to be recycled and called something new very often but more times than not are actually just more of the same.
Dee: I actually bought these yesterday and can tell a difference after each one that makes me feel full. I understand if you're overweight, it doesn't keep you full as long as someone that might be smaller, but I was full for quite a few hours. I read somewhere that when the two oils (the ingredients) mix with your stomach acid, they expand, therefore creating a feeling of fullness. So far, I like it..
Dina: I bought these on Sunday , I started drinking them along with slim quick , I find myself drinking a lot of water! I would say with both the pills and drink its working pretty good! I ate a salad for lunch and half way through it i was full so that was a shock for me (yeah ) when i fix dinner for my husband and 3 kids i dont eat as much as i would! So i would say this works!!!!!
Jimmy: It's really pretty simple. It's a blend of oils or fats. Fats help the body feel full as the body requires more time (relative to carbohydrates) to process. It's not a placebo or some magic expanding potion, it's just oils. You could get the same effect from taking a tablespoon of coconut or flax seed oil. The key is that you need to find oils that are medium-complex or simple. The product is nothing more than palm and oat oil. The oils are mixed with water to create an emulsion (because everytime you mix oil and water you get an emulsion). Then some vanilla flavoring is added with an artificial sweetener. Nothin to it. I don't think it's a gimmick because it is simply oil.
Mandy: I'm about to start my prom diet, and I saw slim shots advertising in cosmo, but reading this article scared me but to see Dee's comment, I'm still curious. Should I try them, are they safe? Do they really not work, and is considered not that safe? Ah, help someone?
John: I needed to loose weight for health reasons and began a program in the Phoenix, A area using shots of HcG. These worked well, but I did not like the affects of the appetite supressants the doctor prescribed. I tried the slim shots and found they work well in supressing the appetite. In answer to Greg, as with any change in diet, though, healthy eating and exercise is always going to be a part of it. Diet is a lifestyle change to train one to eat and live healthy. These do seem to work.
George Cortes: For those that just started on this "diet" product and report excellent results... i'ts the placebo effect. If you get several such reports from individuals that have been on it for at least one month, there may be something to it...
Traci: I just started them. I've got a small frame and need to lose about 20lbs, but I can eat like A COW!!! I'm always, always hungry and always thinking about food. After the first day, I really did feel fuller, maybe even a little nauseas. The sick feeling passed and I've been sticking to the slim shots. So far they are working oretty well. I can go for a whole four hours without thinking of food. Also, you can even mix it in a diet soda and it taste like a cream-cola!
Tracie: I just bought this two days ago at Wal-Mart, and for the price $24.99 I thought it was pretty reasonable for what it seems to offer. I did feel a difference. It curbed my appetite and I'm a snacker REALLY BAD! I think this product just might work for me. I've taken it for two days and yes I can honestly say it's doing what it says.
Marianne: I agree with Jimmy. They're just oils - why not take coconut oil and save tons of money? Or olive oil? Both are oils that are good for you, and mix well with food.
Susan: Palm Oil is a saturated fat, (semi solid at room temperature) besides being very unhealthy, it wreaks havoc on the rain forests where it is harvested. Fats do make you less hungry, but this cannot be the answer!
Linda: I think Susan needs to get a life THE RAIN FORREST give me a break
Debbie: actually Tracie, the ones at walmart are only 21 count for $24.99 and CVS has a 30 count for $29.99 if you have their card and that is free. So, far they are pretty decent I think and I have a fair amount of weight to loose and so I am taking one in the morning and one about 2pm for those afternoon times you think u need to be eating a snack.
Niecie: Actually, even though palm oil and coconut oils are saturated fats, they actually do not cause the harm in your arteries that most saturated fats cause. They are medium chain tryglicerides which causes the weight loss and fullness.
Brittany: I bought some of these off of ebay. I will try anything to drop a pound or two.. nothing ever works tho!! I am not overweight but i do wanna drop a few pounds. I tried these and honestly they suck just like everything else i have tried in the past. I had to take 2 at once and I felt full for a good 5 minutes. Other than that my stomach still growled as usual..
wendy : i bought these a week ago - love it i love 8 lbs the frist week i am love it
Jamaal: I bought these about two weeks ago, started them the following Mon and noticed the difference right away, I can no longer eat the big meal I used. This is a great product
Peggy: I don't have much weight to lose, but I needed to get my snacking under control. I noticed a difference from the first shot I took. I really do feel full for most of the day. And, yeah, I could go buy all the oils myself and save money. But these are convenient to carry and I don't have to measure. So far, they are doing for me what was promised.
Janice: I am just starting the slim shots diet, but I find the comments encouraging. I am also glad that this product is available at the local pharmacies, not just online. I will post back with my success story (hopefully).
Kristi: I started these today one for breakfast one with lunch and on the way to work I easily talked myself out of my 3 point mcdonalds ice cream.....that doesn't happen very often..I am excited!!!
Syd: I snack at night 8PM and later. That's what hurts my diet. Has anyone tried taking these later in the day to avoid the late night munchies?
Peggy: Syd, yes, I've tried them during different times of the day. I'm not a morning eater anyway, so many times I don't take the breakfast shot. I'll take one around 11 a.m. and then one around 3 or 4. They work fine. But still only take two a day. There's nothing in them to make you jittery or not able to sleep, so I'm sure they are fine whenever you need them.
Loraine: More than a comment, I have a question... Does anyone knwos what happens after you stop taking the shots? Because sometimes you gain all the weight back and sometimes even more?
Lisa: Been taking Slim Shots for three days now and I am definitely eating less. I still have to think about what I put in my mouth but they seem to help me with that last extra bit of willpower. Plus... I don't feel weird at all. I'm pleased.
Karen: I have no idea if they work because I have not been able to get past the taste. I think the taste is horrible.
Deborah Ebbert: I have been using them for 5 days and I can safely say that I am NOT hungry at night. No munchies, no grazing, no interest in anything but liquids! So - Yes, it works. Is is psychological? Maybe. But who cares?? For the first time since those appetite suppressant drugs went off the market I am able to control my eating. And yes, I could make them myself but they're easy to swallow, easy to carry. They taste a bit like half and half. I am extremely pleased!!
Dee: I am very pleased with them. In the last week I lost 4 pounds without changing or restricting any specific food, I just stop eating when I'm full which is much faster than without them. Even my husband noticed I haven't been eating as much and he doesn't know that I have been taking them. I think of food much less often also and the sugar cravings have all but disappeared. Yesterday I had a couple cookies and usually I would need to finish the entire package but I was satisfied with the 2. I like the naturalness of them also. The flavor when you first take them is good, but the after taste is getting worse with each one, I have something right there to eat or drink after each one. No side affects and much cheaper and easier to live with than the nasty diet program foods I've tried. I am going to stick with them.
Tami: I started the slim shots 3 days ago. I find they DO cut my appetite, and I no longer crave salty snacks, such as chips. So far I am very pleased with them. Lets just see if the pounds (20) come off.
Kathy Walker: I was very skeptical but was astonished, after taking them for 4 or 5 days, I couldn't even finish a salad for lunch. And I am usually a power eater. Do not want dinner.
tina: i just bought them today at wal-mart, and i tried it tonight because i eat the most during these hours-- so far, so good. i eat TONS in the hours between dinner and midnight, and so far, i've eaten dinner and THAT'S IT!! I love it so far!!
debby: I just saw this product on tv the other day, and I found it at Walmart today and thought what the heck. Ive been one of those peole that have tried diet pills, diet programs and really watching what I eat, but Im a stress eater and seems that I constantly am snacking later in the evening. I took this product and poured it into a cup of yogurt and ate it that way, It honestly wasnt that bad. Its now 4;30 about 5 hours from when i had first taken it and Ive drank water and I feel full. Im looking forward to see the progress throught out the week and weekend.
Trilby: 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.
Imaan: 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! :)
Michelle: 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!!
Doreen: 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.
Laurie: 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.
Ryan: 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!
kist: been on it a month eating right so on no different waste of money
TERESA IN FLORIDA: HEY THIS DOES WORK, BUT ONLY FOR POSITIVE,MOTIVATED PEOPLE, AND I DON'T SMOKE AS MUCH EITHER
Lynn: 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.
kirst: nope i eat right exercise no difference put a bit of weight back on
lisa: is there anything you can do to make the taste better?
Denis : Hey guys I actually have been reading about the shots and well am thinking of buying them ...I want to loose 20 lbs but my problem is that I eat mostly at night after work and wanted to know if this will really help me control my hunger at night ?
Kelly: 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!
Christina: 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.
lisamarie: rubbish no difference waste of money tried it for two months
Brenda: 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.
Dianne: They do work! I have trouble rembering to take them but when I do they work very well!
Marnee: I'm gonna try this. BTW...your slim shots add link goes to a different product. It goes to SlimShot something different...
DietsInReview: Marnee- thank you for pointing out the error. It has been corrected.
neena: Just bought it today. Not a bad pricew Will post another comment in one week to let anyone who cares know if there has been a positive change.
Wendy: To John, Shots of HcG started in the 60's they were injections made out of pregnant women's urine. Some of this medication has been proven to be potentially harmful to people who use it and some of the medication tested was found to be chemicals other than HCG. Please do not do that to yourself! I was on it for a year in the 60's and it was the reduced calorie diet that caused you to lose weight. NOT the HcG shots!
Christine: I started using this product six days ago. I have found myself to be less hungry, no real urge to pick on anything...and I have lost 3 pounds! So I am going to continue. Mind you, I am only taking one with my carnation instant breakfast in the morning. I wonder what would happen if I take TWO! My husband and I are doing this together...and we both find that our appetites have decreased substantially. Going to continue and see what happens!
Jackie: I just started taking slim shots days ago and I am already seeing results . My binge eating has stop period . The taste isn't that bad witch I was afraid I wouldn't like it but it doable just drink water after so you get rid of the taste . I am very happy and will but more !
Kayleen: Just curious..do these make you feel sick, queasy, nauseated? Anything like that? I'm interested in trying them but I have that nauseaus feeling so I don't want to take something that's going to make me miserable. Thanks!
Kayleen: Just curious..do these make you feel sick, queasy, nauseated? Anything like that? I'm interested in trying them but I have that nauseaus feeling so I don't want to take something that's going to make me miserable. Thanks!
Brenda: I stated earlier that I started the slim shots, but I after did my research on aspartame that is in slim shots as a sweetner I discarded my remaining products. Aspartame is a dangerous sweetner, it is nothing but sweet prison. Can be very harmful to your body. Goggle it for yourself before taking it again to make a decision if this is worth the risk. Good luck and God bless you. I hope each of you reach your goal in loosing the wieght. I decided to take the safe road of just praying and asking God to help me make through the day to eat right and execise. This is the safest way to go.
Angela: you must be crazy! i have been on this for merely a week and i have lost 7 lbs already! i almost forget to eat...
Amy: Hi everybody - I'm an editor with First For Women magazine. I’m looking for any woman who has lost weight using Slim Shots. If you fit this profile or know anyone else who might, please get in touch with me by e-mail.
Dee: I got these yesterday and have taken four so far. I haven't taken them alone, but mixed them in with a diet pepsi cherry vanilla jazz, as well as honey walnut cream cheese on a whole wheat mini bagel. I could taste it in both of these things, but the taste isn't any more strange than that of a slim fast or protein shake. The taste also doesn't linger past like five seconds. I wouldn't describe it as "bad", just "noticeable". I haven't felt nauseous or anything like that, and they definitely make you keep the full feeling longer. I think what they help best at is keeping you from wanting seconds, and snacking between meals. On the package it says on average people ate 12.5%-30% less (the UP TO 30% part is deceiving) and I would say that yes, I am definitely eating between 12.5%-30% less.
Patricia: I'm usually skeptical about diet gimmicks but thought slim shots sounded fairly easy to use and the ingredients were pretty basic without the weird stimulants so I thought I'd give it a try. I thought it tasted fine, I've tried it a few days and am surprised that I'm not as hungry. I felt fuller longer when I ate and didn't feel the need to snack at night which is my downfall. I am of course excercising and watching what I eat so we'll see how this goes. Will update after a few weeks.
Tracy: Hi I am with Karen they taste horrable, mixed in my morn coffee never again. next time it will be just that a shot...I just started this am so im hoping i can give a good comment next time.
Brandi - Senior Editor for DietsInReview.com: Hello! I'm the senior editor for DietsInReview.com. Amy, with First For Women Magazine is looking for people who've successfully lost weight using Slim Shots. I know so many of you on here have had good experiences. If you'd like to be in touch with Amy- please reach out to me at help@dietsinreview.com and we can put you in touch.
betty: I bought it and it does not work for me at all
Jessica: I have been on these for a week and they are very easy to use, I work a lot of doubles and waking up at 5am I am starving by 10am. Taking the shot I am not hungry until Noon or 1pm. I have noticed the difference in my diet. The taste is horrible, I usually pour it into a shot glass, top it off with milk and just shoot it. Easiest way to get it down. I have already told all my friends about this product.
K: just bought these today took 2 so far don't really feel like it's taken away my hunger pangs' tastes gross so it's hard to get down i have to take it with lots of water after to drown out the aftertaste i cant really explain the feeling i have right now i feel like i kind of have a stomachache not neccessarily full i'll update with hopefully better results soon
Kat: 08/17/08 Started Slimshots on Monday and I am totally impressed. I'm one of those people that have tried every diet aid that's come along, last time it was Alli, now these. No comparison. These are WONDERFUL!!! I am a major snacker, constantly think about food and what my next snack/ meal is going to be. Slimshots wipe out that type of thinking completely. Yes, they do taste pretty nasty, kind of like what vanilla plastic would taste like, but so what. Hold your nose, drink the tiny bit down, take a hit of OJ or cola and it's gone I wouldn't even give the fact that they taste bad a second thought. Everything good has some kind of drawback. I also am the type that gets jittery, feel weird, nauseous, all that on other types of diet aids. Not with these. I wholeheartedly, with no reservations at all, recommend them!!
cgs: Has anyone stayed on Slim Shots long term yet?
conzee: i asked several hours ago and apparently did not get posted. i ask again - is there anyone out there who has used slim shots for long term weight loss such as 50 pounds? thanks!
Karen: This did not work for me at all, plus I exercise. Then it may work for some, and then not for others. I have now been taking another diet supplement, that is working great for me, but Slim Shots was not it. I am happy for those, that Slim Shots have seemed to work for.
Suzanne: I have been using slim shots for almost 1 week and have found it to be effective in curbing my appetite. I do not think about food 24/7 as I usually do. I believe it is a useful tool and if I continue to diet and exercise, I might have a shot (no pun intended!). I have about 80lbs to lose so I am hopeful that this will help me stick to a weight loss program. Good luck to everyone.
Desiree: I just started Slimshots two days ago, would get major cravings at work throughout the day, noticed yesterday afternoon, I had none and this morning the same no desire to "snack." I also only ate half of my lunch yesterday which is totally unlike me, always starving by lunchtime. I also have Fibromylgia and understand they contain aspirtame which can sometimes cause problems. I have not noticed any so far but it is early. I like the results thus far.
Life: I just used it today. I am hoping it works. I did notice a headache as soon as I took it, however, it went aways withing five minutes. I am using it along with the slimquick powder and going to CURVES thress times a week. Yes, I have a lot of weight to loose and I have just began my journey. Stay tuned for more!
Iris: I just started these and Im haivng a hard time stomaching them. Do people generally find them easier to drink with coffee or tea or to shoot them like a shot?
Life: Well, it has been a few days and I am HUNGRY. Yes you heard it, my appetite has not decreased, I think it has increased for real!. The taste can be fixed if you have juice or something in your hand that you can put in your mouth really fast. It's doable. I just tried something that I do not reccommend, I just drank two shots. I am hoping that helps. No headache though. I am finding more success with the slimquick powder. I mix it in a bottle of water (20 ounces), shake it up, and drink it three times a day. I lost five pounds in two weeks with it. So back to the SHOTS. I will use the rest of my pack, but then I will call it quits. Maybe I am just greedy who knows:). Anyway, hang in there to all who are trying to loose weight. I will keep you posted. Remember exercise and eating properly is the best way. Anything else is icing on the cake (oopps did I say cake). Oh yeah, Iris, try sucking on an ice cube for a couple of minutes before drinking your shot. Your tounge will be numb and you wont really taste it.
Kim: I read the reviews and decided to give it a try. I bought them at CVS on sale and took one Wednesday morning. I put it in my chocolate milk and that was horrible. Now I just take it as a shot and then have a drink after. I also take one at 4 pm because I am a night snacker from dinner to midnight. Today is only my second day and I did have a headache both days in the late afternoon but not sure if it is from the shot. I also joined Weight Watchers and go to Curves three times a week. This is definitely helping curb my appetite. I already lost some weight in these two days. I will keep you posted...
Gina: i have been taking slim shots for a week now. i notice a considerable amount of difference in my appetite. i think these things really work! i've only taken it once a day around lunch time. i have been eating much less, don't think about food, and haven't had any side effects. has anyone experienced any side effects taking this long term? due to the oils in the product, does it tend to hurt your stomach or make you go to bathroom more often?
Mel: My husband and I started taking slim shots 3 days ago because I like the fact there are no stimulants involved. I can already tell a difference in my appetite. I am a big snacker in the evening but now I full and stay full after dinner. I exercise 5 times a week and try to eat healthy but I just needed a boost to stop snacking so much to lose weight. I'll let you know about the weight lose soon I hope.
Traci: I mix the Shots with half of a fruit yogurt, cuts the taste pretty well and yogurt is good for you too.
Ter: Its a joke. The taste isnt that bad, but im still hungry and craving snacks. Ive been on it for a week now. Waste of money.
Deanna: I just bought these today and took the first one about an hour ago. I don't have any weird side effects and am full after eating a lean cuisine for lunch which I am usually still hungry after eating. Hopefully, the feeling of fullness will last. Will keep you posted!
Mitsu: I started Slim Shots on Saturday afternoon, 7.26.2008. I had weighed in at the cardiologist the previous Thursday at 179. I am proud to say that at my weigh in at the doctor's office - on the same scale I weighed in at 173 which is a 6 pound loss. I've encountered no problems so far. The taste is not that bad and it is such a small amount to take that I just drink it and get it over with. I have modified my diet. In the mornings along with my Slim Shots I am drinking a generic version of Slim Fast. I have to remind myself to eat lunch (where I take the second Slim Shot) and then I have to remind myself to eat something for dinner. My diet is consisting of very small salads, Smart One meals, Slim Fast or perhaps half a can of a green vegetable. I'm finding that I'm just not hungry! I know that the first week on a diet usually yields the best results - I was hoping for 3 pounds so I'm ecstatic to have lost 6! Oh, forgot to add, no exercise - I know that I should be exercising and will be trying to add walking into my routine.

Matthew: Slim Shots is great for people who work out but have a big appetite like myself. I work out 5-7 days every week. I play all kinds of sports, run, and lift weights. But all of my activity leaves me starving. My body craves lots of lots of calories. Slim Shots has been awesome at finally changing that. I take one around 4 pm and it last through out the night. I loosing weight very quickly now. If you are a person who works out a lot, but consequently has a big appetite, slim shots rocks. Also, if you enjoy an occasional puff puff of the green stuff, it will keep you getting the munchies.
jane: I love these but have the *RUNS* anyone else have a bad stomach from these?? i mean, i guess i'm losing weight..lol..
Rene: Doesn't anyone have/use SPELL CHECK? Sheesh.
Sylvia: I've been on it for about 4 days. Have not noticed much difference. The taste is really ok. IT IS NOT HORRIBLE like some have exaggerated here. Give me a break, it is just a distinct flavor but horrible? No way.Spare me the drama- it is really not bad, I actually was pleasantly surprised. I wish people would not exaggerate & if your taste buds can't handle it then just have something to drink right after ward. No biggie!
Eileen: I am thinking of using this product but have problems with my gallbladder - any indications on their instructions that this could affect my gallbladder.
Ryan: I never work out and I am 100 pounds overweight. My question: within one month, using one SlimShot a day, about how much weight can I lose? Also, men can take them, right?
Carmen: Does anyone know whether these things will raise your blood pressure? So many other diet products tend to send bp skyrocketing.
Mickey: I see a dramatic difference in my appetite (have been using the SlimShots for 4 days). I, too, have trouble with portion control, work out a lot, but am also starving by dinner time. After 4 days, I am impressed. I will write again after a few weeks with an update, because I also notice that there are few comments from people who have used it for more than a few days. Also, they taste FINE, unless you don't/can't drink diet drinks with Equal. It's such a tiny amount!
katie: These are not horrible tasting at all. Been on this for four days and have not noticed one change. Take two/day. Appetite still the same. I think this is a clever gimmick
romeela: Can you try this product more then 2 weeks.
Paula : first week lost 2lbs, nothing since and gained it back....no thanks!
Michelle: Did NOT work for me, took it for 3 days & felt hungrier. The worst part is it made me bloated and gassy! I do not recommend it for anyone with sensitive stomachs!!
Renee: I bought this on Sunday 08/17/08. Took it about 7:00pm. Slept hard, so therefore, it did not give me the jitters or adrenalin rush. I woke up without the "I'm starving" feeling. Took one at 6:30am this morning. Did have a small pack of cookies & a pepsi at 7:00 (Habit-BAD habit). Usually still, if I have those at 7,I get very hungry again by 10. It's 11:00 now and I'm only a little hungry, but not much as I'd usually be by this time. So right now, I'm pleased. I'll write again when I'm done with the box to give you an update.
Melanie: Ok, I bought these today. I am going to try my first one tomorrow AM. I do cardio 5 days a week, and weight training 2-3. I really eat pretty healthy, but snack so much. Even if it is healthy, you still have to burn more than you are putting in! Remember that. Also, you need to teach yourself to eat right and exercise - that is lifelong folks. Slimshots is just a perk! If it will curb my appetite, I am happy!!!!! Good luck to you all!
Jessica: I just started and they seem fine, but I am really thirsty. Did anyone have increased thirst? That sounds weird for only oils so I'm a little concerned there is more in there that they are saying.
ninamazing: these are the most filthy and disgusting tasting little diet tricks i've ever tasted. don't waste your money on it. [the only reason i didn't eat afterward is because i couldn't because the slimshot made me so sick]. putrid.
Anne Marie: So here's the good news and the bad news. The good news is that it doesn't taste too bad and I've had no negative side effects. The bad news...it's not working and I've been using it for 3 days. I'm so disappointed. I had such high hopes based on what I've been reading in the above reviews. I only need to lose about 10lbs, but this has done zero to suppress my appetite. Maybe it will kick in and start to work soon?? Somehow I doubt it. Money not well spent, sadly. FYI, if you add Slim Shots to whatever you're eating or drinking, that food or drink will still taste likeSlim Shots-it's not going to be disguised AT ALL. It's just easier to down it by itself.
Lauren: Alright, just bought them today. They taste a bit like Play-doh but I mixed one with light chocolate soymilk and got it down very easily. So far I'm not feeling hungry, but it's only the first try. I'll keep the site posted on my progress! Good luck everyone:)
Concerned: I too brought the slim shots and it did suppress my appetite as well. However, I did not know, until Brenda mentioned it in her comments, that it does contain "Aspartame". It is an extremely dangerous product, and i will NOT use this product (SlimShots) anymore. I'd rather take the safe road too!!! It's just not worth it. Thanks Brenda for the heads up!!
cc: sucks!!!
Loren: I have always been around 125 pounds all my life. I quit smoking in Jan and from then I have gained 25 pounds. I have tried everything I can think of but I cant help it, I love to snack after dinner before bed every night to take place of the cigarettes. Over the weekend I found a $3.00 off coupon in the paper for Slim Shots so I read some reviews and went out last night and bought the box. I took my first one last night and downed a glass of water after. The first taste was not so bad but I kept burping up the flavor the entire night. NOT GOOD. It really tastes bad. However on the upside I did not eat dinner and not once did I put anything in my mouth except for water nor did I want too all night which is great. This morning I got up made a bowl of oatmeal took a couple bites and downed a shot, I then chased it with some coffee and some more oatmeal. I could not finish the oatmeal after that. The taste in my mouth was not good. The taste kept on coming up on me and started making me sick. I rinsed my mouth with listerine and brushed my teeth again but I could still taste it. On my way to work an half hour later I can still taste it after another cup of coffee and a bottle of water later. Not sure if I want to take another one with my lunch because I honestly feel it in my stomach and I feel like I want to throw up. The good news is, I am not hungry whatsoever and I cant even think of food. If I can get past the taste I have in my mouth I feel like I can drop these 25 pounds in no time. Can anyone tell me if they have the same feeling? If so what did you do to get rid of this feeling? I will keep everyone posted on my journey if I dont throw up first. Good Luck Loren
KrazyCatLady: If this is oil based, I guess it would have a bad effect on Alli?
julie: great product---terrible taste. the texture is disgusting and yes, you continue to taste it for awhile, but it works so well it's worth it. i follow it with a bite of something crunchy, like a triscuit, and that REALLY helps. i haven't snacked or cleaned my plate in 2 days!! yay!
KrazyCatLady: Julie, I couldn't agree with you more. The taste is strange and it stays with you all day, but what a small price to pay! My appetite is kept in check all day, and coupled with Alli, I am losing inches like crazy!
Isabelle: I just bought the slim shots and it's been 2 hrs and I already feel the effects of fullness I have tried some really strong suppressant and the slim shots seems very effective.
Shelly: 1st Day...Took 1 at 9 am in coffee (tasted bad) took second one at 11am alone and was tolerable. Hey, if it works I can tolerate anything in that small of a quantity. I lost 6 lbs overnight. CRAZY! I was urinating all day long. So I am sure it is water weight. I think it curbed some of my appetite. I did eat less and didn't snack.
KrazyCatLady: Does Curves, still discourage working out more than three times a week?
