Can a sprinkle of Sensa on your food really help you lose weight? Well, the website of this product claims it's “doctor formulated” and “clinically proven.” They also have claimed Sensa is backed up by “25 years of study.” I was intrigued by the claims made on Sensa commercials and website – especially all that stuff about Tastants and weight loss – so I decided to review Sensa and see what I could discover. What follows is my unbiased review of the Sensa weight loss system. Hopefully, I can help answer some questions so that you can make the right decision for you. This is an updated review of the Sensa weight loss system that I originally looked at in 2010.
What Is Sensa?
While sometimes called the “sprinkle diet” technically, Sensa is not a diet. Rather, Sensa is a weight loss product that consists of little sweet and salty crystals called “Tastants” which are sprinkled on the food you eat. The idea is that these crystals are absorbed through the tongue and roof of the mouth and trick you into thinking you are full. They do this by – in theory – making you think the food is actually tastier than it really is.
If you look up the word “Tastant” you can see that a tastant refers to anything that stimulants the sense of taste. I mention this because Sensa advertising makes it seem like tastants are something unique to Sensa, when in fact, the word is a general term that could apply to anything that has a taste.
Salty, sugary, and sour foods all are tastants because they elicit a taste.
One on of the Sensa TV commercials I saw, it was said:
“Even though it looks like a seasoning, Sensa really doesn't change the way food tastes.”
This is a very interesting statement that I had not heard before. Previously, I was under the impression that Sensa made food taste better, but now they are saying it doesn't change food taste. I'm not sure why they are changing their language, but I have a feeling I may know why. Keep reading…
According to the product website, Sensa has the following ingredients:
- Maltodextrin. This is a type of carbohydrate.
- Tricalcium Phosphate. This is just a form of calcium. Some previous research has observed that calcium may have a weight loss effect, but most of those studies used low-fat dairy calcium foods (milk, etc.) and not a calcium supplement. Also, not all research shows calcium promotes weight loss.
- Silica. This is basically sand and is probably used to give Sensa crystals their hardness.
- Natural and Artificial Flavors. Since Sensa is supposed to trick the body by altering taste/smell, I'd like to know what these flavors are.
Sensa also contains Soy and Milk ingredients.
Sensa is sodium-free, sugar-free, calorie-free, and gluten-free, and there are no stimulants, drugs, or MSG.
Sensa Research
The idea of Sensa stems from its creator, Dr. Allan Hirsch, who is a neurologist. According to the website Sofapedia, the idea for Sensa was developed after noting that people with brain injuries that reduced the sense of smell or taste tended to gain weight. Would making the food tastier cause these people to eat less – and lose weight?
It's an interesting idea but is there any proof?
Sensa is said to be “clinically proven”. To back up this claim, the website mentions a 6-month-long study that consisted of 1436 people. The average weight of the people in the study was 208 lbs.
At the end of the study, those who received Sensa lost an average of 30.5 lbs (about 15% of their body weight). The people not using Sensa lost only 2 pounds.
I have some problems with this Sensa study.
1. The study does not look like a “published peer-reviewed” study that is typically found in medical/science journals. In fact, the pdf file for this study actually says “Abstract.” An abstract is a summary of a study and may not be peer-reviewed. I often see abstracts listed as “proof” for supplements, but they don’t hold as much weight as a study that has been published in a medical/science journal.
2. The study of the 1436 people also does not mention how much Sensa the people used. How many sprinkles did they use on their food? Was it the same as what is being promoted to consumers? It probably is, but I could not determine this from the Sensa website.
3. The researchers measured “body mass index” (BMI). The people in this study had a BMI of about 30, classifying them as “obese”.
Unfortunately, the researchers did not appear to measure body fat. Considering that they were testing a weight loss supplement, I personally think this was an error.
The study does indicate that people lost an average of about 30 “pounds” but:
- How much of that was fat?
- How much of that was water?
- How much of that was muscle?
- Did the people in the study also exercise?
They don't tell us. That’s too bad because most people want to lose fat, not just “pounds”.
This study is also at the heart of the Sensa class action lawsuit (Correa v. Sensa Products, LLC) that would provide up to $6 million in refunds to consumers who purchased Sensa before August 21 2012.
The Sensa Independent Laboratory Study
The Sensa website used to also list a study conducted by an independent laboratory. This clinical trial, however seems to not be peer-reviewed. This independent study comprised 83 people (78 completed the study) and lasted 6 months. The results:
- The people using Sensa lost an average of about 27 pounds.
- Those not using Sensa lost about 0.3 pounds.
Again, how much of that weight was body fat? They don't tell us.
In both of these studies, very little information about how the research was conducted is given. Peer-reviewed studies give much more information. This allows others to replicate the study and try to duplicate the findings.
To my knowledge this study has not been published in medical journals.
On the Sensa website -TrySensa.com (site no longer works) – they list several “As seen on” logos such as Fox, Shape, The Washington Post etc.
Who Makes Sensa?
Sensa is made by the company Sensa LLC, which is located at 2301 Rosecrans Avenue, Suite 1150, El Segundo, CA 90245. The link shows a large glass building that likely houses several businesses.
To Contact Sensa, the phone number is (866) 514-2554.
The parent company of Sensa LLC is Intelligent Beauty Inc, a health, beauty, and fashion company that operates other businesses.
According to the Better Business Bureau, Sensa LLC is out of business.
The BBB did list over 777 complaints against Sensa LLC, including 304 complaints dealing with billing and collection issues but all complaints have been resolved.
The Sensa Medical Advisory Board
On TrySensa.com (the website longer works), there is a page where people can view the 7 doctors in the Sensa Medical Advisory Board. There is a brief bio of each, along with their thoughts on Sensa. I was intrigued by what the doctors said about Sensa – and what they did not say. For example:
Dr. Hilton Hudson, a heart surgeon: “He believes SENSA is a safe and effective weight-loss solution.”
My thoughts: Notice they say he believes it. They don't say he “knows” Sensa works.
Dr. Carl Wahlstrom, a Psychiatrist, says, “He found SENSA to be a well-researched, novel non-drug approach to weight loss.”
My thoughts: Well researched? Dr. Wahlstrom, what research have you seen that I have not? How is a non-peer-reviewed study “well researched”?
Dr. Nancy Zamora, an Internist, says “she feels that SENSA provides overweight individuals with a tool to help them eat less. ”
My thoughts: Notice she “feels” it, but she does not specifically say “it works.”
Dr. Jason Gruss, a weight loss doctor, says, “He believes that SENSA allows obese individuals to take a safe, surgery-free approach to weight loss. He is also interested in how SENSA® can help patients lose weight without changing their environments.”
My thoughts: Again, he “believes” it will help. He doesn't say it works.
Dr. Richard Bone, a gastroenterologist, says he was ” Intrigued by the results of the SENSA clinical study, and that he “considers SENSA to be an innovative weight-loss solution.”
My thoughts: So this scientist was intrigued by a non-peer-reviewed study, and he “considers” Sensa innovative. OK, I'll concede it's intriguing… But, he “considers” it innovative; notice he's not saying “it works.”
Dr. Celestine Marie DeTrana, a psychiatrist, says she “believes that SENSA enables individuals to overcome the psychological factors that interfere with successful weight loss.”
My thoughts: She “believes” it but apparently does not “know” it. Also, what “psychological factors” is she talking about? That's a vague phrase coming from a scientist, especially when it's on a website that's being marketed to the general public.
Dr. Paul Jones provided the most reserved endorsement of Sensa when it was said that “Dr. Jones has expressed some optimism that SENSA may provide a novel approach to weight loss that assists individuals in control of portion sizes and in leading a heart-healthy lifestyle.”
My thoughts: “Some optimism.” Really? “May provide.” That's not the most glowing endorsement if you ask me.
Notice that none of the doctors on the Sensa Medial Advisory Board actually said that”Sensa Works!” What's up with that?
Who is Dayna Devon?
On the TrySensa.com website, there is a video from Dayna Devon, a TV personality. She talks of a “landmark” Sensa study where people lost 30 pounds using Sensa. That is the unpublished, un-peer-reviewed study I mentioned above. Dayna Devon is not a scientist, so I will forgive her for using the word “Landmark” when she discusses Sensa. But, According to Wikipedia, Dayna Devon may have a financial involvement with Sensa. According to Wikipedia :
- “In January 2009, Devon became an on-air presenter on HSN, representing the Sensa Weight-Loss System. She also had a regular blog on hsn.com.”
- “In the fall of 2009, Devon moved to ShopNBC, regularly presenting Sensa systems in “Our Top Value” presentations.”
As such, her words about Sensa should be taken with skepticism.
The Sensa Lawsuit
On November 27, 2012, a civil lawsuit filed by California District Attorneys against Sensa LLC was settled. Sensa LLC was fined more than $900,000 for making unsubstantiated claims that the product works. As part of the settlement:
- “Sensa Products, LLC and Intelligent Beauty Inc., the parent corporation, are forbidden from making any claims regarding the efficacy or effects of any of their products without possessing competent and reliable scientific evidence that substantiates the claims.”
- Sensa LLC is also prohibited “from continuing to charge customers for shipments sent after a customer has asked to stop the shipments. The companies may not enroll customers in an automatic shipment program without a clear disclosure of the customer's obligations.”
See the nbcsandiego.com link for a full report on the settlement.
Sensa Lawsuit Update
On January 7 2014, the FTC ordered Sensa to refund over 26 million to consumers. The FTC alleges that Sensa LLC used deceptive advertising. Furthermore, under the settlement, Dr. Allan Hirsch is barred from making claims about dietary supplements unless those claims are backed up by at least 2 rigorous scientific tests or research studies involving humans.
If you read the FTC press release, Sensa was not the only company the FTC cracked down on. They also went after makers of the HCG diet supplements and others as well.
See the review of the HCG diet for more information.
Sensa and Octavia Spenser
At or around the beginning of 2013, Academy Award-winning actress Octavia Spenser started advertising Sensa on TV and other media after the Actress credited Sensa with helping her lose weight for the Academy Awards. But, as reported by the website Hollywood Reporter, Sensa has cut its ties with Ms. Spenser, resulting in Ms. Spenser taking legal action against Sensa.
How Much Does Sensa Cost?
Sensa is no longer being sold but when it was, the website was offering a free 2-month starter kit – BUT if you do not cancel within 30 days, you will be charged $89.95, AND you'll be “enrolled” in an auto-ship program where they send Sensa to you each month (at the cost of about $59.95 a month). To opt out of this, you MUST SEND BACK THE BOTTLES of Sensa (even if they are empty, they say) to not be charged. So, you will have to pay to send them back!
Those who are interested in Sensa and want to compare prices and avoid the auto-ship program can also get Sensa on Amazon.
Sensa Side Effects
In healthy people, Sensa is likely very safe. I could not find any side effects for Sensa from the research I saw. On the website TopClassActions.com some people have reported that Sensa knocked out the sense of taste and caused leg cramps. It's hard to know how prevalent these side effects are or if they are really side effects of Sensa itself.
Sensa does have soy, but how much, I don't know. When in doubt, if you have problems with soy, this might be something to consider.
Other Sensa Supplements
The Sensa website also listed various supplements that it's said will “kick start your weight loss with a targeted blend of vitamins and antioxidants designed to revitalize your body and support a healthy metabolism.”
Those words sound impressive. However, I see no published peer-reviewed proof listed for any of the Sensa Supplements. In my opinion, They were just added “profit centers” to get people to spend more. Let me speak a little bit about each of the Sensa supplements below.
Sensa Complete
This costs $49.95 and is said to:
- Support a healthy immune system
- Maintain healthy muscle
- Strengthen the body against free radical influences
Looking over the ingredients in Sensa Complete, it looks, for the most part, like an expensive multivitamin. It also has other ingredients, notably green tea (which contains caffeine).
Sensa Complete for Men
This product, which was sold for $49.95 and was said to:
- Boosts energy and supports metabolism
- Fuels muscle recovery and cushions joints
- Contains 100% RDA Vitamins A, C, E, and B
This is an expensive multivitamin that has some caffeine (from green tea) and a few other things that I don't think justify the price. Let me speak briefly on a couple of the ingredients that stood out to me:
Sensa Complete for men contains 1000 micrograms of the mineral boron. Back in the 1990s, some men took boron supplements because they heard of a study suggesting that boron might raise testosterone levels. Is this why it's in these vitamins? I hope not because several studies show boron does not raise testosterone levels in men.
Sensa Complete also has a mineral called vanadium (vanadyl 
sulfate). Vanadyl sulfate might have a blood sugar-lowering effect and that “might” help some people with blood sugar issues (why isn't vanadium in the woman's formula too?). Regardless, exercise has a better blood sugar-lowering effect than vanadium.
The product also has 150 mg of glucosamine HCL. This is likely to help reduce joint pain from osteoarthritis (Again, why doesn't the female version of Sensa Complete have joint support too?). The problem with this is that 150 mg is very little (the recommended dose is 1500 mg per day), AND the type of glucosamine Sensa Complete has is the wrong type. Most of the good research is on glucosamine sulfate – not glucosamine HCL. For more info, see my glucosamine sulfate facts post.
I could say more about Sensa Complete for men but I will end here and say that I just think these products are over priced.
If you are interested, here it is on Amazon for less.
Sensa Quench
Sensa Quench is said to be an “energy-enhancing vitamin drink.” The “energy enhancing properties probably have to do with the 90 mg of caffeine that each serving has. Caffeine can definitely wake people up; however, at $39.95, I think it's overpriced.
Again, since there is no proof that any Sensa supplements add to the effects of Sensa, I don't think they are needed.
Here is Sensa Quench on Amazon.
Sensa and Dr. Oz
On November 16, 2012, Sensa was featured on the Dr. Oz Show. I watched the show as many did, and I wanted to mention a few things that were brought up in the segment.
The first thing that jumped out at me was when Dr. Oz said “The big question is how much does it cost and where you find it.” Huh? That's not the big question because everybody knows about Sensa; it's TV commercials are on all the time!
The BIG QUESTION I would ask Dr. Hirsch is why you never published your Sensa research in a peer-reviewed medical journal. How did Dr. Oz miss this important question? If you ask me, he didn’t miss it.
I think his producers preferred Dr. Oz not get into the discussion of peer review of Sensa research for fear of boring the audience.
The Dr. Oz segment also featured Dr. Lewis Aronne, Director of the Comprehensive Weight Control Program at NY Presbyterian Medical Center and Kristen Kirkpatrick, a registered dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic.
When Dr. Oz asks Dr. Aronne what he thinks about the Sensa research, noting that people can lose 30 pounds in six months, Dr. Arrone says, while “theoretically it's possible,” “that amount of weight loss is an extraordinary result” AND —and this is the important part — “this really is not a research study.”
This is a VERY important point to remember —and it was the only time this glaring fact is ever brought up.
Dr. Aronne rightly points out that the research people see on the Sensa website and TV commercials is no real scientific proof because it is not published in a medical journal. Published research showing significant effects is the holy grail of science.
Failure to publish the Sensa research – after all these years – makes me wonder why. Why not publish the research?
To respond to this criticism, Dr. Hirsch talks about a study done at Duke University in the 1980s (decades ago!) – but Sensa was not around in the 1980s, so this study is not valid in my view.
Dr. Hirsch then talks about a current study at “a major university,” —but he doesn't tell what university it is or when we might see the results of that study.
Kristin Kirkpatrick, RD of the Cleveland Clinic, made an interesting point about one of the Sensa ingredients—Maltodextrin. She mentioned that if maltodextrin is derived from wheat, it may contain gluten, which may be a problem for those with celiac disease or gluten insensitively. Unfortunately, Dr. Hirsch did not respond by telling me where the maltodextrin in Sensa comes from.
When Dr. Oz asked what the natural flavors were in Sensa, Dr. Hirsch didn’t specifically respond except to say that the ingredients were “GRAS”
GRAS means generally recognized as safe. Foods /ingredients can be called GRAS if they have been in the food supply for at least 50 years.
But, when Dr. Oz pressed further by asking, “But why wouldn’t you put those ingredients more openly on the label?” Dr. Hirsch didn't really answer him, instead choosing to return to his mantra that the ingredients cause weight loss.
When Dr. Oz pressed further by saying, “But it would seem me that you could write what those actual flavors are on there. Why not?” Now, Dr. Hirsh struggles again to answer, finally responding, “Sure, that would be another mechanism of doing it.”
Are the natural flavors in Sensa critical to how it works (if it really does)? I don't know, but if they are, I can see how keeping them a trade secret would be important. Another idea is that maybe the people who make Sensa didn’t think their omission of these ingredients would be a big issue. Either way, I don't know.
Does Sensa Work?
When I originally reviewed Sensa, I was skeptical about whether it would help people lose weight. I had hoped that Dr. Hirsch would eventually do some peer-reviewed research on Sensa to prove me wrong. However, that still does not seem to have happened. The lack of good science to support Sensa and even the carefully worded statements from its own Medical Advisory Board raise big red flags for me. I want to keep an open mind about this, so if Sensa has helped you – or not – I'd like to hear from you.
Joe, wish I’d looked for a review before I impulsively purchased yesterday. I chose the $9.95, must cancel before 30 days and return merchandise to stop the $89.95 charge. I only have 10lbs to drop, but have been “stuck” since loosing 50 on my own..thought this might “Help” me get to my goal. I’ll give it a try for a couple weeks and let you know…I suspicion after reading from everyone else I’ve just made a giant mistake, wonder how hard it will be to return and to stop the auto payments. Not a smart move.
Risa, call them and ask for how to return it before your time is up. some companies send you a box to return the product in. not sure if Sensa does. They also should give you some sort of a code so they and you can track it. if you do decide to return it, make sure the post office gives you a record that the package was sent – AND gets confirmation that they received your returned product.
Hi joe
I found Sensa via an Internet search, decided to try it out. Day 2 today. I feel less interest in between-meal eating. Maybe it works by raising your awareness of what you are eating? Who knows, although I note the fake vanilla odour/flavour in the sweet crystals.
I left half my dinner tonight, just felt past being hungry. But maybe I was. I’ll come back and let you know. I also searched for scientific papers (I am a scientist) and found a report that he had admitted there was no control group in the original large study referred to. Thanks for your thorough review.
Hazel, thanks for writing and yes please do let me know what your future experiences with Sensa are 🙂
Yes, Joe, I also noticed that you never gave a response to the few who said they felt it was working. Since there were only 3 or 4 of them, I don’t think you’ll over-load us with emails! I wondered what your response to the possible “success” stories would be, besides silence.
Diana, if people say something is working, then I’m happy for them. I usually take people at their word when they say things work so I would not argue with somebody or try to explain something away, unless something they said occurred to me.
But since you asked, I do feel that Sensa works through a placebo effect (I’m open to changing my mind if they publish their research). That said, would it be worse for me to tell them I felt it was a placebo or just to be glad for them that the placebo effect worked? I’m not sure what the “best” answer would be in this instance.
Joe,
I noticed that you didn’t really respond to the people that said that it worked for them. Just the people who said thank you for changing their mind about the product and those who said they would try it, you told them to report back in 6months. Just an observation.
Also for those who stated the obvious, of course we need to eat better, practice portion control and put the sodas down! Most who need and want to lose weight know this! If it were so simple, Joe would have to change his blog, and start reviewing the latest household products and let us know which one gets the lip stick my kid just got into off the wall!
To those who gained while eating sensa, maybe the thought of “not having to change your diet” is where things went wrong? But don’t give up! Keep trying, this may not have worked for you but don’t be discouraged, we ALL struggle with something :-). Remember it ain’t over until your dead.
Thanks for all of your research Joe!
Tamara, thanks. I do respond to everybody who refers to me directly but if I don’t respond to some, part of the reason is because I don’t want to overload people with emails. I do often say that I’m happy when people find something that has been working on them. Its a fine line, I know (to respond or not). I will try to do a better job in the future.
It’s incredible how convincing the half-hour infomercial sounds until you actually read what’s wrong with Sensa’s claims. Thank you for this, I’m a teenager and don’t make a lot of money from my part-time job, you’re review saved me half my savings. Thank you for writing such an honest article.
Audrey, glad to help 🙂
I just wanted to say a few things.. i think the most important thing here is that we all need to just eat better. stop with the fast foods they are bad for us! eat organic and healthy foods that’s were all the nutrients are.
If sensa is just supposed to “help” us not eat as much then how come we cant just do that? do we really as a human race need to be told to not eat a butt load? so if i cut back my portions i will loose weight? that’s it that’s the big secret to weight lose? lol i find sensa stupid.
just eat balanced, stop the sodas and the taco bell and exercise. which is what i need to do too. just saying. Also going organic is the most important because most of the foods you find in the grocery store come from non edible commercially grown corn that is feed to our cows for beef and our chicken. this is killing.
please spread the word on this some the people out there looking to loose weight will understand what they are eating that is making them gain weight and how its being prepared before it gets to us. (look up the movie “king corn”)Thank you for reviewing this stuff.. people need to know this is something that can be done without this salt stuff.lol
Joe, I see that you can purchase Sensas on Amazon for $42.60 for a 2 month supply. That’s a little over $22.00 a month. A much cheaper way to try it to see if it would work for someone. Also, if you can get it at Cosco, they will take ANYTHING back and give you a refund, usually no questions asked. Again, a better way to do a trial test for yourself than buying directly from the Sensa company.
I used Fen-Fen when you could still get it, and I lost 35 pounds. I had no appetite at all! One slice of pizza and 1/2 a beer and I was stuffed! But because of health issues (a few people died using it) the FDA took it off the market. But what about cigarettes? Millions die or suffer from health issues, and they don’t even consider taking them off the market. Makes no sense!
Diana, I totally agree with taking cigarettes off the market. Dont think it will happen though because states get so much tax money from their sale. But that’s another issue all together.
Joe, I can see that you have put a lot of time in your research about Sensa, thanks for that information.
Couple things got my attention;
1- Is Sensa safe to use? Even in your research against this product, you couldn’t find a single case that has side effects caused by Sensa. While most of the other lost weight supplements do have side effects.
2- The price is relatively cheap I just got it for $7.95(shipping) and then by end of the trial I will be charged just $48 for two months, you need to call and negotiate the price.
As a matter of fact they are currently having a deal for 6 months with the additional booster for only $179.
The main issue for me for any product is; its safety to my body. If people had been using it for this many years and no complaints about any side affects then its good enough for me to continue my trial. The other issue is would it work. I will let you know in 6 months.
Sam, I think you make a good point. I don’t see anything in Sensa that would be harmful. As such I don’t think it will hurt anybody. I think its interesting they are willing to negotiate the price of Sensa if you call them. If it really is so great, why are they dropping the price for some people?
Either way, looking forward to your 6 month report on how it works for you.
I actually purchased this. Cheaper than RX pills plus doc visit fee without insurance. I probably shouldn’t have done this but I wanted to see how it worked on someone who didn’t know it was on their food, as opposed to someone who would be susceptible to the placebo-type effect like me.
So I sprinkled it on every meal I had with my bff who lives across the street and shares meals with me every day. He actually ate only half of his normal serving before giving up, totally full and uninterested in eating it snacking which is odd for him.
Thus went on for a week before I told him what I had been doing. Needless to say he was pussed…but it worked for him and myself as well. I’m not sure I buy into the science claims it makes, but hell…whatever works.
I was about buy this.But having MS already suffer with pain.I don’t need extra pain thank you for saving me money.
Lynn, happy to have helped you 🙂
Thank you for doing this research. I talked it over with my doctor and he laughed. He told me to just put salt on everything and i won’t eat it. He also said, NO, to this diet trick. Thanks again because after reading all the reviews I will not purchase this item. No way!!
Glad to help Kathleen. Yes that idea occurred to me also – and fast food is loaded with salt but people still eat it a lot of it.
I tried Sensa, after 1 day of using it my stomach started getting big it. I could not even button my pants, I was very dissapointed. Good Luck
Keep up the good work my friend!!

Thanks Dwayne 🙂
Well i tried SENSA and have been in the house ever since because it DIDN”T work. I gained 35lbs. I’m miserable; i can’t let anyone see me like this it is a total unfair.
I really don’t know where all these comments about the taste and smell of Sensa being really disgusting come from… I don’t think some people know what they’re talking about…
I have been using Sensa for a week and it is working along with some running in the mornings, three times per week and controlling what I eat. I have lost 3 pounds:)
But just so we are clear, Sensa does not have ANY FLAVORS AT ALL. I use it in my food and put the recommended amount, and it DOES NOT taste or smell bad.
I do not understand how putting sugar or salt on Your food, makes You *want* to eat less and lose weight !
I am skeptical ! I think it’s Physiological! A placebo !
I want to try it, I need to lose about 30 lbs. *but* I do not want to get stuck with a huge bill !
Thank You for Your expertise !!!
Thanks for the info. In short in all the reviews I read only about 5 in 20-30 people actually lose weight. And ironically most say its cuz it make their food taste n smell bad. WHY would anyone bother cooking or paying to go out to hate your food. Thus makes no sense.
Don’t know bout anyone else, but I don’t just eat to stay alive. I like the tastes of food. If these people are only eating for nutrition then they should just convince a doctor to put a feeding tube in them then they won’t have to ever eat at all! Lol. Thus won’t be MY way to lose weight, but can you tell me something that you’ve researched that HAS worked? Actual healthy plans, with or without exercise?? Anything?
Stacy, funny you should mention the feeding tube because there is a “feeding tube diet” which I agree is totally dumb for everybody but the worst of the worst (ie if your life is in danger)
Ive written about wt loss products in the past here is the link http://www.joe-cannon.com/what-weight-loss-supplements-work/
Help me make a decision! Instead of wasting money on this product. Thanks for your honesty…amazing how ad’s “play with words”!
Debbie, thanks I appreciate you saying that!
Hi Joe!! I try everything to lose weight diets, exercise.. But nothing works 🙁 i don’t know what to do to control my appetite.. I always hungry.. You don’t have any recommendations?
Roxana, here are somethings that might help http://www.joe-cannon.com/what-weight-loss-supplements-work/
Anything on Japanese Wakame diet drops? It’s supposed to help you loose 2lbs. per day by appetite suppression.
Liz, based on what we know know about Zi Xiu Tang containing a weight loss drug, I will advise you to not use Japanese Wakeame diet drops. I glanced at the website for the product and noticed a very vague PO box as the address of the “company” and in fact Im not even sure where that address was located. They dont tell you what is in the product and the pictures of people in ‘testimonials” section of the website look like stock pictures of models or actors.
Losing 2 pounds per day is not healthy. And, 2 pounds of what? is it fat? Is it water? Notice they dont tell you.
I dont think people should use ANY weight loss products from Japan, china or any other “Asia” country. I dont trust ANY of them.
