Vital Tested: SENSA


A new weight loss aid claims to help you drop pounds without changing your diet.

It's the stuff of fairy tales: Damsel finds magic potion, sprinkles it on and instantly morphs from ugly stepsister to slender princess.

It's not quite a Cinderella story, but the makers behind SENSA say that if you add their flavorless crystals to your food, you'll feel fuller faster and end up eating less. The crystals work with your sense of smell to stimulate an area of the brain called the "satiety center," which tells your body it's time to stop eating.

"The average weight loss was 30 pounds in 6 months and there doesn't seem to be any side effects," says Sarah Mirkin, R.D., an LA-based nutritionist. The drawback? It costs $59 per month and Mirkin worries that it doesn't teach people to eat better--it just makes them eat less. "If people stop taking SENSA they'll probably go back to bigger servings and re-gain the weight," she says.
