Has anyone tried Sensa?

My mom saw it on shopNBC and made me order 2 kits for us to try. She's convinced it will work. I've been watching what I eat, quite successfully, and started WW this week as well. I'm not sure I need it, but you can return within 30 days so I figured I'd just make her happy lol. I'd like to hear if anyone has experience with it.

My mama told me that if it sounds to good to be true......

Google Sensa and read the impartial reviews on WebMD, Mayo, etc. I think you will get the answer on does it work. The study referred to in the sales stuff is a Sensa funded study lacking any peer review.

My sister and her husband tried it. It did not work. It took them 8 months and a complaint filed with their credit card company to get their money back, so good luck if you decide to return it.

I ordered from shopNBC so I'm not worried about returning it.

This is a non-paid testimony.

My DW started using SENSA about 4 months ago. She has lost 16 lbs so far, and it is noticeable so I know she's not fudging the numbers. Even though she has an app on her iPhone to remind her to sprinkle, and there are shakers all over the house, she continually forgets to sprinkle.

So I decided to start using her 'left over' shakers to see if it would help me. I've been stuck at 215 - 220 lbs for over 4 years, and the scale was starting to creep up to 222 lbs and all my clothes were way too tight. My rotating work shift schedule does not support a healthy eating schedule (I know, excuses).

The impact on my appetite was almost immediate. I felt full and was not craving munchies’ food. At restaurants, I will immediately ask for a carry out box and put half my meal in it and still be full and satisfied. It took a couple of weeks before the weight started to come off, but it is now coming off at a steady healthy pace.

I have a spreadsheet tracking my weight, with a goal of 185 lbs at 1/2 lb a week (averaging about 1 lb a week right now). Weigh in was today and I’ve lost 11 lbs so far. Last week I switched to the SENSA for Men system. Picked up the full 6 month system from Amazon. As for the cost, I believe it is an even wash compared to the food cost we are not consuming.

For me, at 54 years old, the system is working. It is working for my DW (55) also. We have not experienced any negative side effects some of the blogs mention such as abdominal cramping, etc. It just makes us feel full and satisfied; hence we eat less and enjoy what we eat more. I’ve also been adding more fruits and vegetables to my daily food intake. This last week I almost single handedly finished off my Fathers Day DQ Ice Cream cake, and I still registered a weight loss.

This week I plan to start into an exercise routine (push ups, sit ups, exercise bike, treadmill) to help increase my metabolism and improve my body tone. It’s all about small steps towards the bigger picture. DW has already started walking on the treadmill 3 - 4 times a week. We converted DD’s bedroom into our exercise room earlier this year, so we might as well enjoy the empty nester benefits.

So our 30th Wedding Anniversary is in Oct at WDW with numerous meals planned. We are confidant that we will still be able to enjoy our dining experiences at WDW, not gain any weight, and have a great time being ~ 20 lbs lighter than our previous years visit.

For anyone wanting to try the SENSA system, I recommend purchasing from eBay, Amazon or GNC vs. the SENSA site. The complaints on trying to cancel automatic delivery seems to be the most valid complaint out there. And if you do try the system, give it time to work. It may not be for everyone, but it may work for you.

Peabody, congrats on the weight loss. Though still color me a doubter that is was the sensa itself rather than a change in habit. The mind is a powerful organ and it can will many things to happen. While I have no doubt in your use of the product and in the weight loss, I am betting that it was the mind just saying,"he putting that still on again, I am not hungry". I lowering of Kcal in and the additional fruits and veggies will plummet one weight in a hurry.

The true test would be in stopping the use of the sensa. If the weight piles back on then I would be a believer.

Again, congratulations. Even if I am wrong, that is a great weight loss and a great way to spring into that 30th. (it's an accomplishment in today's America - we celebrated in the second happiest place on Earth (HI) last year).

I think that you two have made a huge change in lifestyle. Keep focussed on the quality and amount of foods in and on improving the Kcal burn rate.
