Sensa weight loss?
  • tsunamino
    Do the Beauty Brains only look at cosmetic products, or do they also look at weight loss supplements as well? If so, I have one for them! It's called Sensa, where the users are supposed to sprinkle these tasteless, odorless crystals onto their food, which helps them stimulate the "sensory-specific satiety" - or makes your brain feel full.

    The thing is, though, is that they claim to be odorless, yet their own chart says that the odors from the product "enhance" your food and make your olfactory nerves signal your hypothalamus that you're full!

    Does any of this make sense? I feel like I'm answering my own question here, but I'd like to see what the Beauty Brains think of this one.

    I think it's just salt that makes you thirsty and makes you drink more water. *shrug*

    I'm also tempted to believe it might be MSG

    Without looking at the product specifically (if we get a chance we might) I can say that weight loss supplements don't work.  They are not supported by any science or proof beyond the stories that the marketing people who sell the products can make up.
    In the US, the food supplement manufacturers can practically say anything they want about their products without having to show any proof.  I'm skeptical of ANY food supplement.
    Weight loss supplements are even more dubious.  Best to save your money and avoid the product.

    There are no shortcuts no matter what supplement manufacturers might lead you to believe.
