How I lost 10 Pounds Using Slimshots – Personal Story of Amy

Posted on Sunday, 25th October 2009 in Slim Shots Reviews

I have to start with a confession: that I had almost given up on the hope of ever regaining healthy weight, before I got to use slim shots, just a few weeks ago. Thanks to the Slim Shots though, I have so far been able to lose 10 pounds…and counting, leading to a reawakening of my dream of one day soon regaining a healthy body weight.

To give you a back ground, I have struggled with the weight problem, for quite some time now. Although I had relatively healthy weight in my teens and early tweens, things really started to go badly for me (weight-wise) after the birth of my first baby, when I was 25. Initially, I assumed that what I had was the ‘normal weight gain’ associated with pregnancy, which I would lose upon delivering the baby. But I couldn’t have been more wrong, because far from losing weight upon delivery, I actually ended up gaining more weight.

When the scales hit 180 pounds (and considering I am barely five foot tall), I knew that it was time to find a way of doing something about my weight. My family doctor too, had strongly hinted at this: going as far as mentioning scary words like blood pressure, diabetes and heart attacks in the discussion – and then closing the discussion with mention of something to do with the need to maintain healthy body weight.

Thus began my weight loss journey. While embarking on it, I thought that weight loss for me would just be a matter of starting to exercise, slight substitutions here and there in diet…and I would be good. Again, I couldn’t have been more wrong. For a start, I had initiated an ‘exercise regime’ involving going to work on foot (about a couple of kilometers away from home) and back everyday. I hoped that this would be enough exercise to lose me weight. Four weeks down the road – and far from losing weight, the scales were inching closer to the 200 pound mark!

Panicking, I decided that perhaps the substitutions I had made in my diet were not good enough. Maybe I should start skipping meals. While this approach, combined with the walking to work seemed to work initially, I often ended up binge eating to make up for the meals I had skipped, so that when I went to check in the next month, I noticed that the scales had now simply gone past the 200 mark. This is spite of what I considered my very best weight loss efforts.

Suffice it to say that between that point, and when I came across Slim Shots about a couple of years later, I had tried pretty much everything said to help from weight loss: from very rigorous gym programs, the so called ‘crazy’ diets to even stuff like hypnosis. I was desperate for weight loss, you see.

Then I came across Slimshots about a month ago. Although I was pretty much tired with trying out stuff, and was on the verge of giving up on the whole weight loss venture, I decided I had nothing to lose by taking up the Slimshots. After all, they didn’t involve doing a lot: just downing some yummy tasting stuff. Initially, I was taking two shots per day (as recommended) with my coffee, before switching to the one shot a day after the ‘initializing’ period. And to say that the results have been amazing would be an understatement. In barely a month, I have managed to lose 10 pounds of weight, absolutely painlessly with the help of Slimshots. This, by the way, is more weight than I have been able to shake off cumulatively, even with the best of my other previous weight loss efforts. What is more, apart from making me feel less like eating, Slimshots have the effect of making me somehow upbeat (I guess it is because of the less food, hence less load on the digestive system), so that the ‘shots’ end up being not just a weight loss aid, but a ‘mood lifter’ as well. If 10 pounds is what I could lose in a month with the shots, there is no telling what I may get six months down the line. I guess this is the key to real weight loss I have been so desperately looking for, and I am not holding my horses before heralding it as such.

Are Slim Shots A Viable Weight Loss Solution?

Posted on Thursday, 22nd October 2009 in Slim Shots Reviews

Slim Shots Review – Is This A Viable Weight Loss Solution?

Slimshots is one weight loss product that has been making waves in recent days. As the name suggests, it comes in the forms of ‘shots’ (akin to the one’s used in dispensing ‘hard’ beverages), which the user can either add to their meals and drinks, or simply take them ‘as they are’ – without adding them to anything. What Slimshots does is to make the user feel satisfied with smaller quantities of food, thus effectively inducing natural appetite suppression, which has been consistently shown to be one of the most effective weight fighting methods. This way, Slimshots addresses the weight problem right at its root.

Slim Shots Ingredients:

Slimshots is an absolutely natural product, made as it is primarily from oats and palm oil. Oats and palm oil have been shown to increase user’s satiety with relatively smaller quantities of food, thus making way for truly effective weight loss through natural appetite suppression. Besides oats and oil palm, which are the only active ingredients in Slimshots, vanilla and a sweetener are added: purely for flavoring purposes.

How it works:

As mentioned earlier, Slimshots works through inducing natural appetite suppression. And as it turns out, this is one of the most effective ways of combating the weight problems, seeing that excessive appetite (usually due to failure of the body’s natural appetite control mechanism) is the real cause behind virtually all weight problem cases. So what Slimshots does is simply to re-awaken that natural body’s appetite control mechanism: hence making way for truly sustainable weight loss. This re-awakening of the body’s natural appetite control mechanism is something Slimshots is able to do, thanks to the action of oat and palm oil (Slimshot’s main active ingredients) on the part of the body called ‘brake ileal.’ The Brake ileal turns out to be the part in us responsible for appetite control: and it is the very part that benefits from Slimshots action. This has the net effect of making the use feel ‘satisfied’ with small amounts of food: hence making no room for over-eating, and actually often making room for small food deficits – which the body makes up for by burning some of the food stored as fat in it, leading to the weight loss effect.

Slim Shots Pros:

• Being a product based on absolutely natural ingredients, Slimshots is a truly safe product, with no room whatsoever for side effects (unless you are averse to vanilla).
• It is a product that really deals with the weight problem right from its root, rather than from a superficial point.
• It is compatible with most other weight loss products – so that it can also serve a supplementary role to them (if you think they are working somehow) and you don’t want to stop them as you try something else out.

Slim Shots Cons:

• It is a highly tasty product, which raises the temptation to use it ‘non medically’ (beyond the recommended one or two shots per day).
• It is a product that you need to use on an ongoing basis to draw maximum benefits from (that is, you can’t just use it on a ‘one off basis’ if you really want good results from it).

Conclusion:

Based on its efficacy, safety and cost consideration, Slimshots is a product we would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who has been struggling with the weight issues, and who wonders if there might be a ‘better way still.’ This is because virtually all people who get to use Slimshots as recommended and for a reasonable period of time report appreciable weight loss (hence the product’s high efficacy rating). Being based on absolutely natural products (oats and palm oil), which have been used for ages without adverse effects makes is a highly safe product. And with prices running at as little as thirty dollars for a month’s supply (a dollar a day in other words), Slimshots turns out to be quite a cost effective weight loss product as well.
