How a New Food Sprinkle Convinces the Brain to Stop Over-Eating
A California Company has recently launched an interesting new product which may signal a major breakthrough in weight loss. The company, SENSA, came up with an innovative way to convince the brain to stop overeating.
First the theory behind the product. The obvious fact is that we eat too much. But why? It turns out that's the way our brains are programmed. Throughout our evolutionary history, food has been scarce, so in order to ensure survival, humans have been conditioned to eat as much as they can whenever food is available. Unfortunately, when food is abundant and rich in calories, as it is today, the results can be ugly.
Enter Dr. Alan Hirsch, an intrepid doctor and scientist, whose lifelong specialty has been understanding how our senses, and in particular, smell and taste affect the brain's functioning. Dr. Hirsch noticed that many patients who had lost their sense of smell and taste due to illness or accident experienced rapid weight gain. Certain smells and tastes seemed to be acting on the brain to control the appetite.
Dr Hirsch studied hundreds of compounds and after years of research developed a set of virtually odorless and tasteless food sprinkles that have shown a strong impact on the body's appetite-control center, which he called "Tastants". Then, in one of the largest studies of a non-prescription weight-loss system, these Tastants were tested for effectiveness as a means of weight loss.
The results were significant. Over a 6 month period, 1,436 women and men sprinkled flavorless "Tastant" crystals on everything they ate, and lost an average of 30.5 pounds - nearly 15% of their total body weight.
Participants achieved these results without having to follow any special exercise regime or diet.
Best of all, because it is tasteless and odorless and contains no stimulants and does not directly interact with the digestive system, there are no unpleasant side-effects. None of the horror stories associated with "fat-blockers" or stimulant based weight loss systems.
According to Dr Hirsch, "With SENSA, you can eat all the foods that satisfy your senses and you don't have to deal with any intense food cravings or feelings of starvation. SENSA merely helps you eat less of the foods you love and gain greater satisfaction from smaller portions."
How to try it free
Real weight loss without diet and exercise - too good to be true? Apparently the company anticipated a somewhat skeptical response from consumers so they have launched the SENSA Challenge.
They are so sure you will lose weight with SENSA that new customers get to use the product for 30 days so that you can see real weight loss before deciding if they want to pay for it or not.

Sounds fishy; I can't find any legitimate scientific studies backing this up. And there are reports of people unable to get a refund after the 30 days are up.0

Saw an advertisement for this on TV and all I could think was "Really? I'm going to sprinkle some of this on a brownie (this is what the lady on TV put the SENSA on) or whatever and be able to eat without gaining weight?"0

Blah blah-dee blah. Another way for people to lose weight (or not) without changing their lifestyle, being healthier, or cultivating awareness and positive habits. I wouldn't even touch it, much less try it.
Eat real food, not something developed in a laboratory.0 -
I agree with oldbushie....everyone is always searching for that easy way out...magic bullet....went to the website....and the first thing that put me off was the "as seen on tv" marketing ploy....and as he said...no respectable bodies have confirmed or backed this product...big red flag....well there are several...0

If it sounds to good to be true then it usually is.0

A dream come true like all other diet products, the only way eat less move more,sounds painless and really it is,hard but its the price you pay for over eating in the first place,Right? Thr only ones that have it made are the onces that have thier stomach reduced so they cant eat or overeat,Why cant they do that for us overeaters?who knows,I'd have that done because my brain has a delayed signal that says you are full,So i really have to control what i put in my mouth and its not easy,So anyway,bottom line i wish it was that easy0

I tryed it. It doesn't work.0

Another load of bull**** from a company trying to cash in on people's problems by offering a miracle cure. And enough people will probably respond to make somebody rich. Has anybody out there tried this or any other miracle weight loss product? How'ld that work out for you? Oh, it didn't? What a shock! :noway: As long as there are people gullible, lazy or stupid enough to shell out for these products, they'll be selling them. I have to laugh, though, when people defend these products or some fad diet by saying that they lost weight while using them, but gained the weight right back (and then some) when they stopped using them. Learn to eat healthier, use portion control and get off your *kitten* and exercise a bit, and those pounds of fat, flab, cellulite or whatever you want to call it will come off. Anybody that buys these products and thinks that they can lose weight while sitting on the couch deserves to be swindled. But that's just my opinion!

Sounds like a big pile of rubbish to me. If I put this on junk food I won't gain weight?:laugh:0

AMEN!If it sounds to good to be true then it usually is.0 -

So the participants in this thing become soft skinny people if anything. Not quite what I'm looking for.0

Anytime they refuse to mention ingredients (what are these "compounds"?), it's usually not something to brag about.
The problem with most of these types of "natural" aids (for weight loss or anything else), is this: if it's chemical, it can only be put out with regulation by the FDA. If it's not chemical (ie altered) - they don't have to tell you what's in it. That is ALWAYS dangerous.0
