Slim Shots and Coconut Oil
Have you heard about Slim Shots to help you lose weight? I read an interesting article identifying that Slim Shots are nothing more than oil designed to help you get a handle on your hunger.
Slim Shots are single serving units containing a combination of palm oil with small amounts of flavoring and sweetener that kicks into gear the appetite control that we all carry with us naturally. The ileal brake lets your body know that it is no longer hungry, keeps it feeling satisfied for longer and therefore stops our cravings for more food.
The interesting thing about it is the primary ingredient - palm oil. Since it is so effective as claimed on the Slim Shot website at $40 for a 1 month supply, why wouldn't you just take 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil 1 or more times a day. Extra virgin coconut oil will run you about $6-$7 for about 16 ounces (32 tablespoons). This is the pure version with no added ingredients for a lot less, not to mention the much-more-healthy beneficial coconut oil.
I am just amazed that you can put a marketing spin on anything and it is the latest, greatest thing. You have to love the comercialism!
Try coconut oil -- it is cheaper and the medium chain fatty acids will do wonders for your weight, your health, your skin, etc.!
