Any body ever heard of or tried Sensa (http://start.trysensa.com/dms2227/) ? Saw an ad online this morning and you know what they say if it sounds to go to be true ...but still... I would still count cals and go to the gym but maybe a bit of a confindence boost would be helpful...

    A friend of mine tried this and it didn't work for her, made her constipated too.

    I would never use any of those fad diet things they advertise on TV. They don't work usually. But that is just me. I have found that if I count my calories and work out that has worked...and results show.

    I tried it and convinced my mom to try it, too. Initially, we both lost about 4-5 pounds the first week (promising, right?), but then, there was either no loss or a gain in the next couple of weeks. In my case it was constipation (as aznladie82 stated), and for my Mom was bladder issues.

    It is NOT FDA approved because it is "not a drug" but even natural substances need to be tested when being ingested several times, daily.

    The customer service was difficult, when it came to sending it back in order to get the "free trial period" and they don't tell you that shipping it back is at YOUR cost.

    I don't know how it works for everybody else, but speaking from my experience, it is a NO!

    I tried Sensa and didn't really notice a difference in my eating habits, although the claims say it's supposed to lessen your appetite.

    I gave it up within a few weeks because I was reading reviews that it actually made some people GAIN weight. I didn't want to take that risk and spend that kind of money for those results.

    If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

    Took a 30 second look at the Sensa website and here's what I found:

    1. Big, bolded letters promising me "a gym body without going to the gym." Not possible. You may lose weight, but you will certainly not get ripped and toned like the people peddling this product without some sort of weight training.
    2. An overly enthusiatic woman sprinkling a mystery product on a perfectly healthy piece of grilled chicken and veggies. Why not just eat that by itself and call it a day?
    3. A "free trial period." Implying that at some point in the near future, this product will actually cost me some amount of money on top of the money I'm already spending on healthy foods.


    Bottom line: Just like every other diet fad, it will not work - at least not in the long run. Eating the right portions of healthy foods, consuming other foods in moderation, and some form of exercise is the only long-lasting way to lose weight and keep it off.
