Slim Shots??

[rose2boys]

I recently saw an ad for this - is it an appetite suppressant? Does anyone know what this does, if it's safe & if it works?

I found that lately I've been snacking quite abit (an old habit that has reared it's ugly head) wreaking havoc on my weight & I need to get my eating under control. I know there are no short cuts, but, maybe a helpful booster....

I hate this gross feeling! Thanks for "listening".

don't waste your money. I tried them a while back and had NO change in my appetite. I would love something that would kill my appetite though.

Instead of going with some chemical solution, try a natural appetite suppressant that actually has some nutritional benefits (like omega 3 fatty acids).
Soak 1/4 c. Tbs chia seeds in 2 cups water to make a gel (whisk the seeds into the water, let sit 10 minutes, whisk again, then refrigerate). Use 2-3 Tbsp of this, 2-3 times a day. It can be mixed in smoothies, any liquids, added to salad dressings (it displaces some of the fat calories without changing the consistency much).

Chia retains water and will make you feel fuller. It also slows the absorption of carbohydrates.

Kathryn - I think you have said somewhere before, but where do you get your Chia seeds?

I've bought mine from different places (depending on what else I'm ordering from any of these places):
www.sunorganic.com
www.naturalzing.com
www.rawfoodworld.com

You can also sometimes find them in health food stores, but they are usually MUCH more expensive.
