Hey y'all! I got a ? Has anyone tried sensa? My mother n law bought me one month supply of it to try. I thought it was a sweet gesture but watching the DVD on how it works. My main though was is this real or a joke. I was wondering if any of you tried sensa? Did you like it and did you have success . I was just curious if what y'all thought

Supposedly, it makes you feel full. It comes as a program where you move up to stage 2, then stage 3, with each stage the sprinkle becoming stronger somehow. It's said to be an appetite suppressant. A friend of mine lost 100 lbs. while using it, though I can't say if that's why she lost the weight. It's very pricey, several hundred dollars for 6 months, I think. Once she quit buying it, she gained all of the weight back. She didn't learn how to follow a healthy diet and the old habits just kicked right back in.0

I think it is one of those things that will actually give you results if you think it will.0

None of Sensa's internal studies have been confirmed by peer-reviewed medical journals.[5]
Critiques of Sensa-claimed research and Dr. Hirsch's research include: 1) the studies were not blinded in any directions (both researchers and subjects knew who was given Sensa and who was given a placebo, which is a conflict of interest and exposes the study to outcomes driven by the placebo effect), 2) the studies have not been open to peer review or verified by any independent medical or health organization, 3) the results have not been duplicated, 4) all studies have been conducted by organizations that are affiliated with Sensa and stand to gain financial compensation (conflicts of interests), 5) Sensa's statistical claims in their infomercials largely contradict information shown on product patents, and 6) experts from the fields of medicine that Sensa is derived from and medical experts which study and treat health-weight issues have consistently disagreed with the scientific reasoning behind Sensa, noting on numerous occasions that none of the ingredients in Sensa have shown any of the properties that the product is claimed to have.[6]

I think the answer is not real.
I think Serenity might be right.
Maybe people just eat less because they are thinking about how they are going to eat less and feel fuller by putting Sensa on their food.

I personally think if it were as easy as sprinkling something on your food, there would be no fat people left. Kinda the same way I feel about diet pills... among other things.0

Never heard of Sensa, but Mensa is real. It's an organisation for people with high IQs. And there's a spin-off of it in the UK called Densa, for people who believe that their IQs are not quite so high as all that. (dense / thick = UK slang for being not very bright) Maybe Sensa is an organisation for sensitive people?0

I saw the commercials and saw it in GNC.Very expensive and turned me off. Now I wonder what is that stuff made of? If there is plastic in subway subs how can you trust something you sprinkle on food and you loose weight without exercise or diet modification?0

Thanks everyone! I appreciate you advice. I would have never bought the stuff but my mother in law I guess was trying to support my weigh loss journey. She thinks it's the real deal . Me not so much. But I guess I'll try it sense she bought it but I feel like if it was real then we wouldn't have obese people in the world. Thanks again for y'all's thoughts0
