			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-439" title="slimshot" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/slimshot.jpg" alt="slimshot review" width="198" height="173" />Slimshot, a product of the United Kingdom, is &#8220;The new unique effervescent slimming drink that is clinically proven to help you lose weight.&#8221; (website) Slimshot combines three combinations of diet supplements in drink form. Slimshot is supposed to block fat absorption, eliminate fat, and burn fat. This Slimshot review will expose the truth behind these claims to show what you can really<br />
expect from Slimshot.</p>
<h3>Slimshot Ingredients</h3>

<p>A clinical study found that green coffee extract was successful in inhibiting weight gain. However, this study was done on mice. Until studies are done on humans, it is impossible to know exactly how effective green coffee extract is in weight loss.</p>
<p>Green tea is a scientifically proven ingredient that increases metabolic function, leading to weight loss. However, Slimshot fails to disclose how much green tea it contains; therefore, it is impossible for this Slimshot review to determine the effectiveness of green tea in Slimshot (as usual).</p>
<p>The remaining lengthy list of ingredients is comprised of ingredients that have not been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>Side effects of Slimshot</h3>
<p>Side effects of Slimshot include increased bowel movements.</p>
<h3>Slimshot Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Slimshot website states the following,</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;If you are unhappy with your purchase for any reason, you may return it to us within 14 days for a full refund exclusive shipping cost. No returns will be accepted if post marked later than 14 days following the receipt of your shipment. The customer is responsible for all return shipping costs. We will not accept packages with postage due. Requests for replacements or refunds will be processed promptly upon receipt of your returned package.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>We really believe companies should give at least 60 days for customers to return unwanted products; this guarantee simply is not good enough.  By the time you know the product isn&#8217;t working, it&#8217;s too late to return the dumb thing.</p>
<h3>Slimshot Cost</h3>
<p>Because Slimshot is made by a British company, their website lists prices in British Punds. A two week supply of Slimshot costs 16.99 in British Pounds ($33.28 US at the time this article was written). This is very expensive for a diet supplement, especially since they only include one ingredient (green tea)<br />
that has been proven to contribute to weight loss (and they don&#8217;t disclose how much of it is included).</p>
<h3>Slimshot Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Slimshot review finds that Slimshot is really no different from countless other diet supplements. They do not disclose how much of each ingredient is included, and they only include one proven ingredient. Go with a product that is honest about <strong>what</strong> it contains and <strong>how much</strong> it contains.</p>
