Weight Loss Wednesday: Sensa – The Sprinkle Diet

 

I first heard about the Sensa diet several months ago during a chat among fellow beauty bloggers who received these flavor shakers as part of a swag bag during fashion week. After receiving my own beauty product swag bag containing Sensa (among other items) I decided to look it up and see what it’s all about.

Sensa Diet Basics

Sensa is a six month diet based on “flavanoid” sprinkles.  These flavanoids are actually flavor enhancement seasonings. The idea behind it is that the sprinkles enhance the flavor of your food sending the message to your brain that you had enough top eat. After a while you start eating less and your portions are smaller. Sounds simple, but does it work?

There are six different “shakers” for each different month. Since there’s nothing harmful about Sensa, I decided to try it in my food. I’ve been using it for a week so far and I don’t feel any fuller or less hungry after using it. There are plenty of testimonals on the Sensa site however, and the average weight loss appears to be thirty pounds in six months.

The Sensa diet says nothing about portion control, eating properly or even getting exercise. In fact, users are encouraged to eat whatever they want as they always do. The magic sprinkles will do all the work by making us feel as if we’re hungrier.

I’m still doing Nutrisystem and though my weight loss seems to be happening slower than the average Nustrisystem plan user, I know I’m learning good nutrition and learning to portion my food properly. I’m also being encouraged to practice proper nutrition and get daily exercise. To me, healthy eating habits and daily exercise are important tools for dieting success. I don’t see how using only magic sprinkles will control our weight loss – and help us to keep the weight off long after the six months are up.

I’ll keep you posted, but I’m not expecting big things from Sensa.
