The Secret’s Out of the Bag… Shape up this Summer with Slim Secrets

Don’t despair, your smart snacking secret weapon has been let out of the bag with the launch of three delicious and healthy snack bars designed to combat common snacking dilemmas – they’re called Slim Secrets.

(PRWEB) November 23, 2005 -- It’s that time of the year again when most of us are carrying a little extra winter condition and are worried about getting into our summer wardrobe.

Don’t despair, your smart snacking secret weapon has been let out of the bag with the launch of three delicious and healthy snack bars designed to combat common snacking dilemmas – they’re called Slim Secrets.

Slim Secrets bars have been crafted specifically to target the three common snacking occasions between meals: mid morning, late afternoon and evening, with a little added secret on the side.

If you’re feeling tired and peckish around 4pm, the Slim Secrets Afternoon Snack Attack bar will give you a boost and help handle your cravings until dinner time. Its secret for handling the afternoon slump is: Most people succumb to the afternoon feeding frenzy out of boredom, habit or stress rather than hunger. If it’s hunger, enjoy a healthy great tasting Afternoon Snack Attack. If it’s boredom, take up a new hobby like pole dancing…only for the fantastic work out of course!

Creator Sharon Thurin is a wellness and weight loss life coach who is increasingly aware of the snacking dilemmas her clients face. “I set about creating Slim Secrets to help combat overeating between meal times, through great tasting snacks. Most people want some direction and tips on how to have a healthy lifestyle - our product packaging, website and electronic newsletters provide secrets and tips that are designed to do just that.”

“It’s easy enough to tell people they should eat right but we can all use a little helping hand at times. I wanted people to look at snacking as something fun whilst keeping them committed to their healthy goals.”

Slim Secrets has sourced quality ingredients including real snap-frozen berries, real ground coffee beans, soy proteins and low carbohydrate chocolate to provide consumers with a healthy and fulfilling snack that tastes great.

Each bar name indicates the snacking occasion they’re combating. The bars are high in protein and fibre, low in GI and wheat free to fire up the metabolism, release energy slowly and keep you feeling fuller for longer.

Morning Rev-Up is café latte brewed to perfection and one of the first bars of this type to contain real coffee. As the name implies, the bar will help kick start your day and let you in on a little secret to prevent your tummy from talking to your colleagues, friends or anyone else within earshot.

Afternoon Snack-Attack is a choc caramel and nut decadent snack that will help prevent the afternoon feeding frenzy whether it’s due to hunger, stress or habit. Its secret is being slightly higher in protein than the other bars and a little cheeky.

Night Time Binge Buster will cure the midnight munchies with berries drizzled in white chocolate. This night time bar will whisper secrets that will help satisfy more than a few urges – the urge for a good night’s sleep!

The Slim Secret website is a resource of nutrition and health secrets and tips for the everyday person to achieve their individual goals. Visit www.slimsecrets.com.au.

Slim Secrets bars are 40g net, retail for a RRP of $2.95 and are available at selected health food stores, gymnasiums, pharmacies, practitioners, and grocery outlets.
