How does it work?

* SlimShots has been proven to increase the feeling to satiety [i.e., being full].
* Satiety is the long term effect of a meal—how long it takes to become hungry again and how much food is consumed at the next meal.
* General Explanation: SlimShots™ triggers the body’s natural appetite control mechanism, the ideal break, satisfying users for long periods of time and in turn, allowing them to eat less, without sacrifice and without depriving them of their favorite foods.

How do I use SlimShots?

* For optimal effectiveness; take two shots per day the 1st week; one shot [9.3 ml container] at breakfast and one shot at lunch. Thereafter, one shot at breakfast should be sufficient. However, response rates can vary for individuals depending on different factors like body weight.
* SlimShots comes in mini shots [i.e., about the site of a coffee creamer], which can be kept at work, in the kitchen or in your purse.
* SlimShots can be taken as a shot or added to coffee, yogurt, cereal or shakes.

Who can take it?

* Anyone who wishes to manage their appetite and moderate their food intake.
* It’s suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
* It’s an ideal compliment to weight loss products except Alli.
* If taking any kind of medication, you should consult your doctor before taking SlimShots as a precaution.

SlimShots should be taken in conjunction with a balanced diet and be viewed as part of a sustainable food and weight management regimen.


It is said to be all natural and won't cause jitters-no side effects, and supposedly very yummy.



it was on abc news:

Europeans have always been slim. Slim shots haven't always been around.
The article implies that slim shots are the readon Europeans are slim. dry.gif
*thumbs down*

Oh, I know these are pills or they're meant to be natural but it's made to suppress your hunger, that's not natural at all. Still, refer to this thread.

Why don't you guys look up what palm oil and oat oil is. Not to mention it is under proprietary blend. Can you say 99% water?

Initial placebo effect, and then no results. If you want to feel full, eat some slow digesting carbs.

25 lb bag of oats = $13
1 gallon of palm oil = $13
water = free

altogether = $26 = 10 bajillion servings

in the end your better off buying an essential fatty acid supplement, the big deal behind palm oil is phospholipids and glycolipids. oats are all about protein, complex carbs, and dietary cholesterol (which is good for you and helps regulate bad cholesterol; yes there is good and bad cholesterol)

i am a fluctuating 100 lbs 4'11 girl. (thats pretty big for a small girl=weight didn't get to me until last year. i was 90 lbs just a year ago.)
i DO eat alot. i actually counted my calories for the last 3 days (last week before), and found out i eat around 4000-6000 calories, but ive been eating less (or have been trying) and is around 4000 currently. i looked online, and for my height and weight i should be eating around 1000 calories, which is impossible for me before my stomach throws a tantrum at me. i am currently looking for a solution thats natural (i know i sound like a fatty, but if you've lived your whole life eating as much as i did, its not easy to just stop eating 2000 less calories than you've been eating before)
im constantly eating something as snacks (fruits, especially-along with some junkfood occasionally)-along with a big breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

i also work out daily.
i hit the gym, do cardio and weights, go out (and unfortuantely is mostly food outings with friends-mostly packed with fats and calories and alcohol), and jog daily in the morning.

Ever heard of the Placebo effect.

I can sell the american version for those that don't want to look up what my first sentence meant. I'll sell at a discount for 60$ a Pop. Brusky Aaandy and Nojeel are working with me on a business model for this American SlimShot.

Does the placebo effect take place if you know you're only feeding yourself 99% water?

My bad I didn't see your name/comment. It's not just the fact that these ads are luring teens but the product itself is really dangerous. If these pills are making you lose your appetite, there must be something suss about the pill/shot. And what happens if you go overboard with them?

In my opinion 4"11 at 100 pounds isn't too bad. As far as I know (I'm not that familiar with your metric system), 4"11 isn't too far from 5"1, thats my height and I'm 99/100 pound mark. I am not fat unless you're talking about Asian/crazy parent standards.
One year I put on 22 pounds. It's apart of growing up.

Are you eating 4-6k in the 3 days or one day?? If it's 3 days then that's only 2k a day max. You exercise so much I'm not surprised that you're eating more.

the placebo effect occurs with anything that you (the individual) feels is going to happen/work. (doesn't matter what it is. your brain/body just has to believe)
so for example, some patients are given sugar pills when they think they have cancer (lets say they dont and are just paranoid), and eventually they say their symptoms dissappear.
-in this case, thinking this is going to make you suppress your appetite, it will indeed (by placebo effect) suppress your appetite, not by the product itself, but by your brain.---but im still thinking this =might= work, so im still not going to say this is all on the placebo effect.

i eat 4-6k in a day.
3 inches taller makes someone look alot skinnier.
im the same weight as my friend who is 5'0 and i look fatter by a whole while...
i look pretty pudgy for my size, because im so little i have a butt, big thys and a beer belly sad.gif
i think my problem is just eating too much.. tongue.gif and i wanted to supress my ongoing appetite a more natural way than pills.

those have been in fashion magazines lately
i don't think it would be right to drink them.
i mean just do it the hard way, since it might take longer, but at least it would be more safer and you can feel more proud when there's accomplishment

I don't think it's the key of Europe's success.

America's lifestyle is full of fast food = burger, etc. Also people eat their food faster because of the hectic, busy lifestyle.

In Europe, everything is done more slowly compared to America, so is eating.

well go buy it! i don't know why you are still trying to justify purchasing this when it is clearly bs.

you want to curb your appetite? eat healthier, its way easier to pack in calories eating dirty junk food, try meeting that 4-6k calorie limit (which i don't believe lol) eating clean foods. I guarantee you won't be able to eat 3k cals of clean foods

true, but im not justifying to make people purchase it.

im not trying to fool -anyone-.
i know im not as knowledgeable in the nutrition area as you, or some others may be, but its not easy for me to stop eating.
i do eat a mix of junkfood, and healthy food-i know which is bad, but i really just wanted to get opinions.
and believe it or not, i do eat around 4k worth of food.
and i do believe thats the source where i can not lose weight.

i never took any diet forms of medication, and this is a first.
i just dont want to give up a little chance of natural (somewhat) form of hope. & i really dont want to take like actual pills (that has side effects and are chemically formed), you know?
soo yeahh-- be easy on me : P

im a kid, going to college, going to get freshmen 15 also.
im stressing.
