Sensa
Just sprinkle away your weight.
BACKGROUND
Sensa is an innovative additive that is sprinkled on your food in order to induce feelings of fullness so that you can take control over what you eat and lose weight. It was created around the scientific principle that our sense of taste and smell are inextricably linked to our satiety.
By sprinkling Sensa onto your food, the Sensa Tastants travel through your nose to nerve receptors. Your nerve receptors stimulate areas in the brain that are involved in satiety and trigger the release of hormones that suppress hunger and appetite. Sensa Tastants come in two flavors: salty and sweet. They are sprinkled on the foods you eat so that you will start to reduce your cravings and lose weight. Sensa Tastants are sodium-free, sugar-free, and calorie-free and they do not alter the taste of your food.
In one clinical study, the average weight loss was 30 pounds while using Sensa for six months.
PRO
- One large clinical study showed positive results while using Sensa Tastants
- May help to jumpstart a weight loss program
- Created by a medical doctor
- Creates satiety and feelings of fullness
CON
- Not a long-term solution to weight loss
- Since it such a new product, long-term and immediate side effects can’t be proven
- Automatically-enrolled in the monthly auto-shipment program
- No specific dietary or fitness guidelines
INGREDIENTS
Sensa contains Maltodextrin (Derived corn in the U.S.), Tricalcium Phosphate, Silica, Natural and Artificial Flavors, FD&C Yellow 5, and Carmine. Sensa also contains Soy and Milk ingredients.
ADMINISTRATION
Sensa is sprinkled all over the surface of your food just before eating it. The Tastants marked “Salty” are sprinkled on all foods that you would typically use salt and pepper or a savory seasoning for meat, fish, pasta, most vegetables and starches. The Tastants marked “Sweet” are sprinkled on sweet foods like fruit, pastries, desserts and cereal. The words “Salty” and “Sweet” do not mean that the actual Tastants contain salt and sugar, or that they will make your food taste salty or sweet – it’s just a way to describe the type of food to use it on.
Sensa should not be used on liquids or liquid foods like soup or stews.
DIET and EXERCISE
There are no specific diet and exercise guidelines to follow while using Sensa other than to follow the instructions on the Sensa Tastant product label.
CONCLUSION
Sensa Tastants is a weight loss additive that uses technology and biology to help you eat less and lose weight. The patent for Sensa is still pending and it is not approved by the FDA.
As with any dietary supplement, talk to your medical doctor before taking this product. Since this product contains milk and soy, do not use this product if you have allergies to these foods. Do not use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or if you have any medical conditions.

Anything that offers a "free trail" or just pay S&H is a rip-off!
You pay way more than anything free they promise.
I used the 6 week body makeover and lost 45 lbs, it is the best one so far.
Be very afraid what you put in your mouth something like this can easily develop inside your body into something really bad like cancer along the way. I tried 6 weeks make over and so far in one week I lost 10 pounds and is all based on the food you eat withou any pills.
This company is a complete ripoff! I ordered the product, was displeased with it, and called to cancel. I thought I was done with them until the next month when I got a $90 charge on my credit card. They had charged me for the second month, but had not told me they would do that if I did not send it back to them. It does not say so on their website either. I am sorry I ever responded to their ad for their ridiculous product.
Jaycee, not to burst your bubble, but there are 1000's of products that are not technically approved by FDA. Do you take a multi-vitamin? Only full on pharmaceutical drugs go through an approval process, many of which take millions and years to do. Most companies a side from big pharma can't afford the process. The other issue is just because the drug went through a NDA (new drug application) doesn't mean it's safe. There are thousands of drugs on the market that kill everyday. If you ever obtain adverse event reports from pharmaceutical companies you'll know that thousands of people die from drugs. Remember viox? The drug that was pulled from the market? It was so called "fda" approved.
Sensa does not claim to be a "miracle" product. However, it does do exactly what it says it will do..make you feel full faster and satisfied longer. The ad says you can eat the foods you like, not anything you want. They do advocate a healthy diet and exercise. I just finished my 4th month and have lost 33#'s. I am a real person who had a real weight problem. I still have a ways to go, but Sensa has been an awesome aid to help me lose the weight, once and for all. If you haven't tried it, please don't knock it. And if you have tried it and it didn't "work" for you, please don't knock it. It is not a miracle drug, just an aid to teach you portion control. It is up to you to stop eating when you start to feel full.
No, I am not a company shill, but I am a very satisfied customer. I am passionate about this product and what it has done for me and others that thought they could never win the battle of being over-weight. I would like to thank Dr. Hirsch, for noticing that our sense of smell is directly related to our ability to lose or gain weight. The tastants in Sensa do enhance your food, you eat less, because you are satisfied sooner and lose weight as a result. Sensa makes perfect sense.
To add insult here, this Sensa product has not been FDA approved and you are all ingesting something that will eventually cause you cancer. Do your research before falling for a miracle weight loss strategy.
After three weeks I have lost five pounds, Im trying to go from 160 lbs to 140 lbs. I will review again in a few weeks. The thing is, is that I kept trying to set up certain amount of calories at certain times of the day for years now, and I just cant ever stick to my "new way of eating", but since Ive been using sensa, Ive stuck to it better than ever, Im not sure why, I do still get hungary before my next meal but Im able to wait and Im able to stop at my calorie amount. I think the problem most people are having is that sensa is claiming that you dont have to change anything, but really you do, and using sensa to help you change your eating habits is how Im doing it.

I have been using it for a week and have lost 5.5 lbs...so....not sure what to say.
I was considering trying it but was a little skeptical. That's for helping me make up my mind. I will NOT be trying this product.
I've been using sensa for four months now I've actually gained weight as sprinkling everything!! Not useful for me
This company is in cahoots with raw minerals makeup, same scam, free trial for 30 days, they charge you 14.95 plus shipping and when you return product within the 30 days, they charge $90.00
I like the stuff and I have lost 19 pounds in 14.5 weeks. My wife is doing almost as good! We love the stuff and would rcommend it to anyone!
I haven't tried it yet, but will buy it on ebay then won't have to worry about autoship or any commitments
I enjoy it
I gained 5 pounds using sensa . Two month supply. I dint see any change. money down the drain. I went back to calorie counting it works better for me. And I feel bad because my family and friends make jokes of me.

I feel bad because I told my family and friends about Sensa weight loss and now they laugh about me because I gain 5 pounds using Sensa on two month supply. I order it on HSN.

They are a scam. After you sign up you can expect telemarketers on your cell phone 24 hours a day!!!!!
This is what you can expect:

They had called me and finally I was able to talk to someone on the otherside. They had given me the 1 800 613 6942 number and had advised me to speak to them about getting my number removed. I advised the CSR that I was speaking to that I had already consulted a CSR and his Supervisor about having my number removed.
The CSR at the Gas Rebate Center told me that it would take 30 days to have my number removed. At that point I had asked to speak with the supervisor because I had tried all means necessary to try and get ahold of them by calling them and leaving a message to call back, calling insurance services and requesting from a supervisor to remove the number, writing and submitting a complaint to fcc, and calling the contact centre where I brought a product from tv and had them go to my account and put me on the do not call list (wasn't even aware that my number would be given out but called the [rimary source of how the Gas Rebate Center got my number in the first place and sorted it out).
Anyway after the CSR from the Gas Rebate Center had spoken to me she had connected me to her supervisor just as I had requested. I had spoken to the supervisor and explained to her all the abandoned silent and dead end calls that I was getting, totalling 11 calls in less than 4 days. I told the supervisor that I had tried everything I could in my power to reach them and because of that, I didn't want to wait 30 days and had requested to have my number removed immediately. She advised me that she will have it removed immediately based on everything I went through. I will also call my phone company and have this number blocked.
If you manage to get through to someone on the other line, request to speak with the supervisor and inform them of your situation and request that the number be removed immediately as due to everything that has happened. On most of the websites I have been too discussing this case, people have been complaining that they were told that it takes 30 days to have their name removed from their list. If you have been through alot of headaches over trying to resolve this issue then 30 days just won't cut it, so if you can speak with the supervisor at the Gas Rebate Center to get your number removed from their list immediately.
Just another reminder, if you want to file a complaint about Telemarketing, Prerecorded Messages and Do-Not-Call, just go to this
I had posted information on this earlier
Thanks everyone for your time and consideration

They keep calling me & when i go to answer they hang up. they call every half hour pretty much. it's really annoying & i hope someone finds out who they are cause they never stay on the phone to tell me what they are calling for.
Chris on March 19, 2009
ditto on the remarks/comments regarding this "telemarketing terrorist" - I never acknowledge who I am, take their name & number and inform them I'll call back once I "check them out" - indeed, they are extremely aggressive. Alternatively, you can mess with their heads (if you have the time) by leading them to believe you will participate in their program and vascillate about giving a commitment. I don't have the time for that particular approach but it is very effective in combating most any telemarketer. The hang ups that some people stated they received were most likely due to the recording delay time. If you stay on, they will respond after approx 3 "Hellos". And great info from CJ re: form 1088! Thanks!

This AGI company at 616-980-4031 is so totally unbelievable. They have been calling me starting 8:00 am til 9:00 pm every 20 minutes on my cell phone first telling me that they have a special offer and if i choose not to participate i can press 1 then enter my telephone number. Originally this company was calling me every other day now its daily @ every 20 minutes (I have the call log)I have tried to have my number removed and wait the 30 days but the calls have increased. Any suggestions please?
I am on my second day on Sensa and I love it! My appetite is half what it normally is. I normally eat two eggs, sausage, and a pancake for breakfast on Sunday, but today was only able to eat one egg and a piece of sausage.
I am just now trying it and you can get your money back in 30 days and stop the auto billing if it doesn't work for you. I figure if it doesn't work for me within 30 days, I will cancel - worth a try. I am just like the women who posted good success with it - I am 56, had my son 18 years ago, and cannot get this extra 10-15 pounds off - I eat very good food, just too much of it. So far it is curbing my appetite so looking forward to any results within the next couple of weeks.
A scam. "Ivy" who posted on March 28th is probably a company shill. No one is going to lose much weight in 16 days and notice she claims she does not weigh herself. I'm going to be watching this board periodically for other scams. My law office files consumer class actions.
