Slim Styles® |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
SlimStyles® is said to be a breakthrough weight management line of products that aid with fat loss, as opposed to losing water or muscle. SlimStyles® products are promoted as healthy and delicious formulas that may aid consumers in losing weight, especially if paired with exercise. The products are advertised as safe and natural, and a “highly effective means to greatly diminish appetite.” The complete SlimStyles® program consists of two types of drink mixes, as well as supplemental formulas, like the SlimStyles® Thermogenic Formula.
The weight loss industry has a variety of methods that claim to work the best. SlimStyles® products may just be another among those that promote replacing meals with shakes and proprietary “blends”. We will take a closer look at the SlimStyles® weight loss products and analyze their possible effectiveness. We will conclude whether SlimStyles® products alone may be more effective and feasible than other weight loss formulas on the market.

| Products Offered |
SlimStyles® products seem to revolve around PGX™. Those interested in the drink mixes may choose from the Slim Styles Weight Loss Drink Mix with PGX™ or the Appetite Control Fiber Blend with PGX™. The Weight Loss Drink Mix mainly consists of amino acids, vitamins, minerals and protein, and is available in a variety of flavors. The Appetite Control Fiber Blend is a low-calorie drink mix that is advertised to curb hunger cravings. Besides these mixes, the following are offered: Appetite Control Fiber Blend with PGX™, SlimStyles® Crave-Relax, SlimStyles® PGX™ Capsules or Granules and SlimStyles® Thermogenic Formula.

| Products In Depth |
As mentioned above, the champion ingredient in all of the SlimStyles® offerings seem to be PGX™. PGX™ is a patented blend of “highly purified naturally occurring, non-absorbing polysaccharides”. This complex is said to regulate glucose levels, lower blood cholesterol, reduce appetite and food cravings and balance the metabolism. Essentially, it is a blend of water soluble fibers.
The SlimStyles® Weight Loss Drink Mix with PGX™ is available in eight different flavors. These include: Very Strawberry, Double Chocolate, French Vanilla, Rich Mocha, Mango/Peach, Tropical Pina Colada, Orange Cream and Black Cherry. Besides the amino acids, vitamins, minerals and whey protein, the drinks contain the sweetener, Xylitol, and the herb, Stevia, also used as a sweetener. The Appetite Control Fiber Blend with PGX only comes in one flavor, and is also naturally sweetened and contains no calories. PGX stands for PolyGlycopleX.

| Diet Lifestyle |
The SlimStyles® weight management product line appears to offer a flavorful variety of meal replacement foods that are high in protein, which could assist individuals who are trying to lose weight or build muscle. However, while the shakes provide a source of nutrients that may be beneficial to those with a busy lifestyle, the Appetite Control Fiber Blend contains nothing more than water-soluble fiber that may expand in the stomach. This may block the absorption of many nutrients contained in foods consumed after taking the product.

| Conclusion |
Although SlimStyles® products may be tasty and healthy, we wonder if an effective weight loss approach should involve taking so many different forms of supplements. The Weight Loss Drink Mix may be suitable for those who need something quick and nutritious on certain occasions, though we do not feel that it will significantly promote weight loss. We find the products to be quite good, but we wonder about the effectiveness of the program, in terms of sustainable weight loss.
In the end, we believe that an effective weight management formula should be hassle-free, and should enhance metabolism, as well as reduce food cravings. Products that contain appetite suppressing herbs like, for instance, Hoodia, along with a patented fat burner, may aid any weight loss program. And, the greatest feature is that such herbal formulas are cheaper (some even provide free-trial offers), are often much more effective and are backed by knowledgeable customer service.
