Slim Shots
Appetite control without side effects.
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 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 !
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!
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!
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.
Marnee- thank you for pointing out the error. It has been corrected.
I'm gonna try this. BTW...your slim shots add link goes to a different product. It goes to SlimShot something different...
They do work! I have trouble rembering to take them but when I do they work very well!
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.
rubbish no difference waste of money tried it for two months
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!
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 ?
is there anything you can do to make the taste better?
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.
nope i eat right exercise no difference put a bit of weight back on
been on it a month eating right so on no different waste of money
HEY THIS DOES WORK, BUT ONLY FOR POSITIVE,MOTIVATED PEOPLE, AND I DON'T SMOKE AS MUCH EITHER
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.
