Seemingly, sprinkling crystals that emit an odour on your food will be the way forward for weight loss patients. Sensa is the latest weight loss advancement in this form and can be purchased in many flavours including coffee and cheese! It will be available for purchase in the UK in 2011.
Over 1,400 participants who took part in a 6 month trial were said to have lost an average of two stones over a 6 month period. A five year study will commence incorporating 1,000 participants and it is estimated that the crystals could have a lasting impact on the health of the patient and the maintenance of weight loss.
The principle is based around the smell of food. 90% of the experience in tasting food is influenced by the smell of it. Taste can transport messages to the brain indicating that the body is full thus spreading the taste enhancing crystals over food will decrease the desire to eat. It all sounds a little faddy but Sensa could be the answer in this time of doubt regarding the future of weight loss treatments.
