It was Dr. Alan Hirsch who developed the sprinkle diet called sensa by concentrating his studies on taste and smell. The sprinkles increase the flavor of the food, by making sweets sweeter and salty food saltier. The result is that you brain will be fooled into thinking that you are full, thereby making you consume fewer quantity of food. This moderate intake of food ultimately leads to reduction in weight. It has to be noted that most of the ingredients in sensa (if product is a supplement) are basically food additives supposed to enhance your taste and smell sensations.
You can reduce the calorie intake by using an appetite suppressant. This will help in shedding off the extra fat. But seeing the ingredients of sensa one really wonders how they can assist in weight loss. Below mentioned are the ingredients in sensa. Apart from Maltodextrin, Tricalcium phosphate, Silica, FD&C Yellow 5 and Carmine, sensa also contains Soy and Milk ingredients and natural as well as artificial flavors. Let us discuss ingredients in sensa (if product is a supplement) in detail.
Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide, which is a starch. Sensa’s nutrition facts reveal that there is no carbs in it. But the reality is that the ingredient is used in meals by body builders to get extra carbs. Tricalcium Phosphate, also known as ‘bone ash’ is present in rocks also. The function of the ingredient is to maintain the powder as it is. There is doubt regarding how much of it the body can make use of.
Silica is also present among the ingredients in sensa (if product is a supplement). It is found in many thing you are already eating, the deficiency which will result in dry brittle hair, skin problems etc. FD&C Yellow 5 is coloring food additive and Carmine is also a coloring agent.
Those who have already used sensa have complained of change in the taste of food after spreading the tastants. Also, there has not been any research on the long term effectiveness and side effects of using the product. In this background it is the prospective customer, who has to take the final decision whether he should shell out a substantial amount for the product.
