Hi Everyone!

Just wondering if anyone here has tried Sensa, you know, the appetite suppresant sprinkles always being touted on TV? I see the commercials for it are still on the air, and have been for over a year, so I'm curious to know if they work.
If you have tried them, can you tell a little about them? Like, do they leave an aftertaste in your mouth and did you see a real difference with your appetite?

    I tried more veggies and I like them so much I can't even think about having cravings.

    No, but if I'm at a restaurant and I want to stop from over eatting I dump salt all over my food. It's free.

    Those commercials are really intriguing aren't they? I know I've been wondering about Sensa too. But I've tried the meds, I've tried the meals and they don't work permanently. I doubt Sensa works at least not for someone obese like me. Lap band surgery might be more effective but I'm not fat enough for that my doctor said. T_T So no quick way to get healthy. If everything goes as planned it will take me a year and a half to reach my goal weight. It's so sad... but true.

    I wasn't considering buying it, but am just curious after all the commercials that are still on TV, over a year later, if it worked, or what it was like. Sometimes its just nice to know people's experiences with things that others believed could work. Oh, if it was only that easy! lol

    No way. Are you going to use it forever? What happens when you lose the weight, ditch the Sensa and go back to eating the way you were? Every one of these new "miracles" seems to have the same results - people have some success, then gain back everything they lost (except for the money they spent!) and end up heavier than before.

    Better off changing your lifestyle, learn some healthy habits, eat sensibly.

    You can buy Sensa on Amazon.com. There are loads of 1-star reviews that go into specifics.

    Yes, I tried it actually when I started in January - but I quit within the month. And yes, it worked. I just decided that eating healthy worked too. i wasn't hungry because I was eating the right foods, so the sensa was unnecessary. But it works if you have hunger issues, but I would advise against it.

    i tried it about a year &1/2 ago. Did the free trial thing, & they even extended the trial for me. Although it did have some flavor, it didn't really alter the taste of the food too much. They were pretty confident in their product though, so they offered to extend some more for me for free, and I think I tried it 1 more month (like a month &1/2 total or something,) but it didn't work for me. I know they explain how it's supposed to work (suppressing appetite/ eating less food) but I didn't really see a difference in anything.

    Out of curiosity, since I had no intention of buying it, I did some research and some of the possible side effects weren't very good. Check it out first if interested.

    I've never tried it, but perhaps you could try ditching any and all junk food. I know that, at least for me, if I allow myself a cheat it makes me much more hungry than if I had eaten sensibly. Now, if I feel like something savory, I'll eat a handful of plain almonds. It usually does the trick. Or if I want something sweet, grapes really help.

    I also totally second the statement about ruining the remaining food on a plate if you feel physically full, but still have the urge to finish it. I pour water on mine, but I suppose salt would work too.

    Our food has enough chemicals in it already, no need to dump chemical dust on your food so you get the sensation to stop eating. Exercise your own control and don't buy into the diet industry gimmicks that will probably in the long run turn out to be toxic for you.

    Not sure how it works, or what it does.

    But if appetite suppression is your goal, honestly, youd be better off filling up on veggies.

    You can eat a ton of veggies and still not even go over 200 calories. I mean you could eat several cucumbers, mushrooms, tomatoes, lettuce, radishes, bell peppers, etc. etc. and hardly put a dent into your calories for the day. Plus youd be getting all them vitamins and fiber.
