Sensa and Weight loss
With Sensa diet, a person may experience weight loss differently. But generally speaking, Sensa works by sprinkling the scented crystals called, "tastants" on the surface of your food. Take note that Sensa must be used only on solid and semi-solid foods. It does its magic by having your sense of smell affect your brain"s reaction toward hunger and sense of fullness. Tastants act on your olfactory sense and send signal to the brain that you are full. Yes it is a spoof message to the brain so it will release hormones that tell the body to stop eating.
Overtime, you should feel fuller quicker, more satisfied, and get used to eating smaller portions. Sensa also claims to lessen hunger pangs and reduce cravings. The end result should get you a slimmer body.
