    Sorry, I'm no help. I've only seen the commercials but shaking something on top of my food that is tasteless really freaks me out :ohwell:

    I googled it months ago and read that the results were from people that wrote in and not tested officially :-/. I'd say save your money:)

    Waste of money. Just look up some reviews on it.

    It is basically a filler to make you feel full, faster.

    Personally, I wouldn't want to shake something unknown onto my food and eat it. You can get the same results with drinking water before a meal or filling up on fiber.

    They settled false advertising lawsuits, one payout was close to a million. They said it was to avoid ongoing legal fees, yeah right.

    Also the two trials that support that it works, have not been peer reviewed.

    I'd stay away, even if it's free.

    ACTUALLY, the way sensa works is by altering the way things taste to you by altering the way it smells. The premise behind it is that if it tastes off/funny maybe you won't have the desire to eat it. I THINK the stuff you spinkle on is also suppose to trick your brain into thinking it's more full than it is. Problem here is that most people gain weight because they eat when they don't need to/aren't really hungry anyway. So if you're that kind of person it really isn't gonna help you much anyway. My mom and my best friend have both tried it. They both lost a little weight the first couple weeks but then nothing after that. I'm sure the weight loss was just due to the fact that when you have to sprinkle something on your food every time you eat it it tends to make you a little more concious of what you're eating. Personally I wouldn't waste my money. But if i was given to you I guess it can't hurt to try. Good luck to ya!

    I saw a severely obese women on a documentary use it thinking she could eat whatever she wanted as long as she sprinkled Sensa on it. Needless to say, she did not lose the weight needed for bariatric surgery.

    Also, many of the claims for the testing and support from legitimate agencies for it's effectiveness (such as from the Endocrine Society) were also falsified.

    There are no magic pills, potions, or sprinkles. Just chemicals and confidence men.

    I looked up the ingredients and one is a beetle (yes as in crunchy bug) - apparently common in food additives.

    I would rather continue making lifestyle changes and eating healthy foods to lose weight and become healthy. If that product does in fact work from what I've heard it helps with portion control, however fast food is fast food no matter what you sprinkle on it. The product is being marketed so that you can eat whatever you want and get skinny ! when that's not the most realistic and healthy way to do it.
