Sensa Weight Loss

Sensa Ingredients

The main ingredients in Sensa are tricalcium phosphate, maltodextrin, silica, and carmine. Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide (carbohydrate) that's produced from corn starch. It is more easily digested compared to some other types of carbohydrates. As well, Maltodextrin is known to have less calories than sugars. Silica is a mineral that's often used as food additives. It is used in powder foods to absorb water. Tricalcium phosphate is another food additive that's often used as an anti-caking agent. Carmine is a red color pigment that's used as a food dye.

Is Sensa a Scam?

The marketing material of Sensa claims that is is based on 25 years of research, and backed up by one of the largest weight loss studies. In their study, 1436 human subjects took part in a 6 month long trial with either Sensa or a placebo. Their test results showed that the Sensa users lost an average of 30.5lbs compared to 2lb for the control group. Sensa also made comparisons of their study results to other popular diets such as the Zone diet, Atkin's diet, and Weight Watchers diet. They claimed that sensa users lost more weight in less time.

While their study results sound very promising, the validity of their study comes into question, because this study is not peer reviewed. Although Dr. Hirsch claims that their large Sensa study was peer reviewed, ABC News reported that the posted Sensa study is in fact not peer reviewed.

In the ABC News segment, they reported that the Endocrine Society denied having rigorously peer reviewed the Sensa study, despite what Dr. Hirsch claims. The Endocrine society goes on to say that "it would be incorrect to characterize Dr. Hirsch's study as having been rigorously peer reviewed by the Endocrine Society". Without a peer reviewed clinical study, you simply cannot put any weight in the study they presented demonstrating the extremely successful weight loss attempts of Sensa users. The only type of study that holds any weight, which should be considered when evaluating the efficacy of a diet or weight loss supplement, is a peer reviewed study.

For a relatively unproven diet product, Sensa is rather expensive. The basic one month starter kit will cost you $59, the three month kit will cost $145, and the 6 month kit will cost $235 - not cheap by any means. Aside from the ABC News segment, Sensa has also been widely covered on numerous other news segments and media outlets. Some are reporting users experience some success with their weight loss; however, I still have some doubt regarding its effectiveness. For about half the cost of Sensa, you can get your hands on weight loss programs that are proven to effectively help users lose weight.
