Background:Want to lose weight but don’t want to give up your favorite food? The latest diet, “Sensa Sprinkle Diet” by Dr. Alan Hirsch may be the answer for you. In this diet, you will need Sensa shaker that consists of salt-like spray. There are two flavors for you to choose from: sweet and salty. The concept behind Sensa Sprinkle Diet is rather simple: just spray the Sensa sprinkle in everything you eat. You can sprinkle the sweet Sensa on sweet foods like yogurt, dessert and salt Sensa on other savory foods. The sprinkles trick your brain to think that you are full. As a result, you may lose weight as you are eating a lot less.
Pro
- No foods restriction;
- Convenience: you don’t have to worry about calories and carbohydrates consumption;
- No need to change your lifestyle, although healthy meals and exercise regime are recommended.
Con
- Not approved by FDA;
- Expensive: $210 for six months supply;
- The long term side effects and safety are not studied yet;
- If you stop Sensa Sprinkle Diet, it is unsure if you will gain all the weight back.
Side effects of Sensa Sprinkle Diet:There are no drugs, stimulants and known side effects. However, you are advised to consult your physician should you have any concern.
How long will you lose weight with Sensa Sprinkle Diet?
According to Dr Hirsch, there’s no typical timeline. Most women took up to 3 months to observe any significant weight loss.
Conclusion: It seems that Sensa Sprinkle diet is backed with solid clinical data. However, the concern is that the long term side effects and safety of Sensa is not study yet! If you find that concept behind Sensa Sprinkle diet intriguing, then I highly recommend that you choose Hoodia diet. It works just like Sensa Sprinkle diet: it kills your hunger. However, Hoodia is proven safe and effective, it’s even feature in Oprah’s O magazine and BBC.

I START USING SENSA JULY 24TH, AND LOST 6 lbs…
IT REALLY DO WORK!!
Hi Tears,
It is now August 4th. Have you lost anymore weight? If so, what is your total weight loss so far?
I started sensa and immediately started noticing a huge increase in belching, and then was notified by the people around me that everytime I belched, it smelled like gas! I was mortified! Anyone else experience this?
I just started on pack # 3 I have lost 7 lbs, but my stomach started hurting today and I dont know if it is Sensa or my ulcer flaring up.
Careful of this company. They send you the “free 2 month sample kit” but willcharge you the full months price if everything isnt returned in 30 days. It doesnt work, cutting back on food does. No address on web site for returns!
I agree, be careful of this company. They charge the 89.00 on your credit card and don’t allow you to return it. I found sprinkling ? on all your food every time you eat and especially in public or at social gatherings is highly unrealistic and not a way of implementing long term lifestyle change. I wonder if the simple act of doing this tends to end up being a psychological (mind over matter) change for those who claim it works for them. In other words creates a mindfulness of being more aware of just how much you are eating, and because it’s such a hassle to sprinkle all the time that you tend to then eat less? In addition to this a great deal of junk or store bought box foods tend to be food which is more challenging to sprinkle onto. eg. candy bar, m&m’s, hotdog, etc….The jury’s still out on this product. Their marketing of it, the bait and switch thing alone leaves a poor taste in my mouth. No pun intended. No magical potion exists, do the old fashioned way and make lifestyle changes to better your health, eat less, exercise more, and have a positive frame of mind. No quick fix.
It is interesting how that last post was able to sound as if they were NOT talking out of where the sun don’t shine.
The Sensa company is not a scam and they do all they are going to say. If you order the free trial offer you will have no problem sending the product back if YOU FOLLOW DIRESTIONS. Unless you do not know how to read the directions on how to send it back are all on the invoice/packing slip you get in the box. The link directly below is to a page that shows you the packing slip you receive. The packing slip tells you who to call and how to return. The reason the address is not provided is because you get the address when you call. When you call you get what is called a “RMA#”. When you get your number, you get the address.
As far as it being bait and switch? What are you talking about? I guess you never read the packing slip?
Please stop talking as if you know what you are saying. It is quite obvious you are fairly clueless when it comes to Sensa. If it works for someone FOR ANY REASON, that means it works.
Be careful of this “free” deal. I just had such an awful experience with the acai berry “free offer.” READ ALL THE FINE PRINT! I finally got my money back but, oh, what a hassle.
Another thing:
“Common side effects experienced while using Sensa include upset stomach, vomiting, diarrhea and hives. If you have difficulty breathing, dizziness or swelling after taking Sensa, you should contact your doctor immediately. People without known allergies have also experienced some of these side effects while using Sensa. Others reported side effects including gas and loose bowel movements. ”

It HAS side effects, they are rare.
What would you say about a company that requires you to call for a return # before 30 days and provides NO phone number on the invoice or box to call? They also charged my credit card before the 30 days was up. When I finally reached them using a borrowed computer because I was traveling, I got a complete run around, very sarcastic, if not rude servive from Customer Service. I have finally gotten a refund by going to the corporate level. The CR rep did admit that they had made a packing error but was unwilling to make the adjustment or take responsibilty for the mistake. Look out for these guys, they are all about getting the charge to your card, not helping you loose weight. If they can slide even one months charges through while you fight them on every trial, that is alot of money.
Sensa IS A SCAM! It is impossible to cancel the “membership”. They claim they never receive the product you return and continue to charge your credit card. Forget any confirmation numbers or representative assurances. Sensa is a scam!
