Sensa
Have you heard of Sensa? One of the Win Over Weight (W.O.W.) members brought my attention to it. (Sensa)
Sensa is a weight loss product that you sprinkle on food that supposedly results
in people eating less. While the validity of the clinical study cited
in the report has been questioned, check out the reviews at
http://www.dietsinreview.com/diets/sensa/. While many are calling Sensa
a scam, there are several positive reviews here and also on the amazon
link.
Dr. Alan Hirsch, who developed Sensa, found that patients who lost taste
and smell tended to gain weight, so he theorized that enhancing taste
and smell of food would have the opposite effect (doesn’t seem logical
to me, – smoking kills the senses along with appetite, however…).
Hirsch claims you’ll feel fuller faster.
After some more digging, I discovered the same Dr. Hirsch that came up
with Sensa also had a similar product called Sprinkle Thin, that
apparently went under
(http://www.thinreport.com/diet-pill-reviews/sprinkle-thin.html) in
2004.
ABCs 20/20 did a story on Hersch and Sensa
(http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/story?id=5495808&page=1) but I couldn’t
find a date when it was published.
