Ok, I will admit, I did weight watchers (old program, not this new momentum points plus nonsense) , and I seriously thought about Nutrisystem, but I am not rich sooo thats out too lol.

then I see this sprinkle diet? sprinkle either a sweet or savory sprinkles on your food and you eat less. they are tasteless... so what gives? Whats the secret? i am thinking its placebo effect... but anyone have info?

    OMFG....seriously?? That's quite possibly one of the dumbest things I've ever heard of....are you sprinkling crack on your food?? Cuz that will probably give you less of an appetite for sure.

    There was also this other diet stick that you suck in and then you eat the food but it makes everything taste bad so you do eat it. I am sure mint gum does the same thing.

    I ordered Sensa last year and sent it back.. It grossed me out and I felt it had no effect on my sense of "fullness". I would much rather do things the normal way.. And so far, so good. :)

    My mom tried it (always searching for the new miracle)..it doesn't work. At all. Don't bother wasting your money on it. Eat healthier, exercise more.

    My best friends co-worker is using that, Sensa I believe. She said it works for her and she's lost about 15 lbs so far. I'm on the Phentramine/Prozac diet. It's the lastest craze in Dallas, several of my friends are on it and they have lost a ton of weight. I just started so fingers crossed!

    I had sucess with the old program. Good ol fiber, calories and fat. But then they threw the rest into the mix (which granted a lot of people needed to watch) They tweaked it so people couldnt pig out on low cal high fiber foods for next to nothing in points. Then said that veggies and fruit are free. I think that the new way is set up for failure. For me, personally. But I am glad to see it working for everyone else on it!! It just didnt work for me the second time around.

    Here's a good article explaining exactly what it is and why it doesn't work:
    http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/truth-about-sensa

    Even the premise that making something taste more yummy would make you eat less seems skewed!

    Seriously? Maybe you were being sarcastic.. but thats a REALLY dangerous combination.

    If you want to lose weight do it right so you wont gain it back. I lost 80lbs without any help but will power and determination.
