Slim Mints Weight Loss Mints, Sugar Free Peppermint

I have used them to hold me until I could get to my planned meal. They are effective for that. I cannot see that they are a great way to lose weight. As a breath mint, they are sugar-free so that is a good thing. I would buy them again if they were the same as regular breath mints.

Please see your physician before taking anything for weight loss otherwise, youll be wasting your money.

Sometimes it works ,sometimes it does not. If you use Mint on regulare basis then it worth a try.If you are hoping to loose weigth then hope with something else..

These mints taste pretty darn good. To me, the taste compares to lifesaver pepomints. I dont know if they work yet, but I like the flavor. I will let you all know if they work.

Firstly it tastes good. Secondly it did help to reduce appetite. For people like me that is not overweight but wants to stay in good shape, this is an easy and decent solution. It comes in tins and each tin has about 40 of tablets (each tin lasts one or two weeks for me). I bought three tins several weeks ago and I just ordered a whole case (6 tins) to continue my supply. Anyway, the take home message is - the result may vary upon individual but its worth to try.

I have been using the product for 1 year this month... I have tried everything, Fad diets and over the counter...Joined a gym...I have even been to dieticians to plan personal diets. So, short of using operational procedures, I have tried about everything available. I was to the point where I was in trouble with my health due to extra weight. So I just happened to pick up a tin of mints and the only other components are switching to diet soda and eating more often. I have lost 70+ pounds and am still going. I do not use 6 mints a day and I don not use them every day, but plan to start. Thank you for your product. IT DOES WORK.

When I came across Slim Mints I couldnt resist purchasing a tin. This is a mint that sells for no more than a regular brand of mints but not only does it freshen your breath it claims to help you lose weight also.

A brilliant marketing idea. Double duty..fresh breath and weight loss. The manufacturers must be patting themselves on the back. And its great if it works. But does it

The back of the tin of slim mints claims that l-carnitine and chrominum polynicotinate will reduce your appetite and help you lose weight. Studies on l-carnitine indicate that it may help in boosting metabolism and aid in burning fat. However, the dosage of l-carnitine used in the studies was much greater than that in a serving size of Slim Mints. Its found that only 20pct. of l-carnitine supplementation is absorbed so 500-2000 mcg have been used in the studies. Slim Mints contains only 108mg in a serving. A serving is 12 pieces. I am very doubtful that the l-carnitine is beneficial supplemented this way.

Slim Mints also contain chromium polynicotinate. There have been more studies done on this than on l-carnitine and indications are that chromium helps regulate blood sugar levels. One report I read said to limit intake to 200mcg per day as more could be harmful. But the majority of what I read indicated that 400mcg was safe which is what Slim Mints contains in 12 pieces. I do believe it is possible that the chromium can help with blood sugar levels, though each piece will only have 33mcgs. As time passes more and more supplements have been proven to be unhelpful and potentially harmful.Anytime you are using supplementation with the possible exception of a multivitamin, its a good idea to check with your doctor.

Slim Mints also contains Splenda. The jury is out on Splenda which is sold as an all natural derivative of sugar. In truth Splenda is cholorinated and may not be as safe as the manufacturers would lead you to believe. However, I can say that though I have trouble drinking a soda that is sugar sweetened, I have no trouble with Splenda. Of the artificial sugars I feel Splenda is the best choice at this time.

Each tin measures about 3 inches long by 2 and 1/2 inches wide and 1/2 inch deep so they are perfect to tote in your bag or purse. There are about 40 mints per tin and they are sized like Altoid mints. They come in two flavors cinnamon and peppermint. A serving is 12 pieces. Each piece claims to have 4 calories, 4gram carbs (1g net carbs) and 2 gram fiber (very surprising).

I put the tin on my desk and found them to be tasty and a nice little distraction from when I might be reaching for something else like a mega calorie cookie for instance so YES I can see where you could lose weight if you eat them instead of something else. But keep in mind that as I mentioned earlier the ingredients and the amount in the mints has not been proven. So any weight lost would be coming from eating a low cal mint INSTEAD of something with more calories.

Though I like the idea behind the mint. I am concerned about people popping supplements without regard to how much or how little they are taking. Slim Mints claims that the active ingredients are MD recommended in a best-selling diet book, but they dont say which book or which doctor. Come on Slim Mints. You can do better than that.

I would like to see some studies behind the claims. I think Slim Mints should be responsible for backing up their product with solid science and not conjecture.
