My mother in law gave me two new packs of Sensa to try. Has anyone ever used them? They've been sitting on my desk for a month. Does it help?

    Sensa ingredients:

    Maltodextrin
    Tricalcium Phosphate
    Silica
    Natural and Artificial Flavors
    FD&C Yellow 5
    Carmine
    Soy and Milk ingredients

    Cheap ingredients for an expensive sprinkle. I've certainly never heard of artificial flavors and colors causing weight loss. I would throw them out. :flowerforyou:

    Aren't they just supposed to make your food taste different so you eat less?

    They claim the sprinkles "activate your hunger control switch". Which means you feel fuller sooner. There is nothing in Sensa that does this. It is all a marketing scam.

    My friend tried it and said it didn't work for her. She says it worked for her mom, but she thinks it is a mind thing, like her mom thinks it will make her eat less, so she eats less. I looked into it, and as I did I realized you don't lose weight any faster than with proper diet and exercise.

    Sounds like a placebo trick. If you believe it will work, it will! May as well sprinkle sparkles on your food to make you think you're fabulous. ;) Thats just my opinion though, maybe it does work.

    there was a review a few weeks back where someone said it made all your food taste the same and kind of artificial and sweet so you got incredibly sick of eating after a few bites and stopped.

    I mean you have it so if you are interested in trying it, try it on a few bites and see what you think.

    What a splendid idea.

    Thanks for the ingredient list. It appears, with my soy intolerance, that Sensa would be a no no for me. Not that I was ever going to try it, but I was a wee bit curious.
