What is Sensa?
Overcoming the biological drive to overeat
The Sensa Weight-Loss System addresses this problem of our evolutionary past by using the human senses of taste and smell to help us gain greater satisfaction from a smaller amount of food.
The scientific principle behind Sensa is remarkably simple. You may recall learning in biology class that smell and taste are connected. As you eat, the two senses work together to stimulate an area of the brain called the "satiety center," which tells your body when it's time to stop eating. By enhancing smell (sensory input), Sensa Tastants help to enable the brain-stomach connection and trigger the "feel full" signal.
When you first start on the Sensa program, the Tastants do all the work. Over time, you will begin to intuitively understand portion control and develop healthier eating habits, without having to give up any of your favorite foods. |
"... a weight-loss method that seems to make no sense at all - until you look at the science behind it ... might one day provide a permanent answer for those of us who smell defeat before we even try to lose weight."
-Dateline NBC
"... you will feel full faster, cut down on consumption and lose more weight ..."

"Hirsch may well be on to something. His work focuses on the hypothalamus, a region of the brain known to be associated with satiety, and if SENSA can indeed hit that neural bull's-eye, it could be powerful stuff ..."

Extra co-host Dayna Devon, who uses SENSA to maintain her on-camera shape, recently interviewed SENSA creator Dr. Alan Hirsch.
"You may envy hot bods on the carpet," she reported, "but I have to stand next to those skinnies. Like most women, my weight fluctuates a lot ... I volunteered to be Extra's guinea pig for SENSA and I lost 6 lbs!"
