I had a few problems with Sensa when I first started the program to lose weight.  I thought that I would spend a few moments to share some of those issues that I had to deal with at a time when I really did not know too much about Sensa, as a way to get thin.  Of all my problems with Sensa I have to tell you that the biggest one was that I forgot to put it on my food each and every time I ate.

When I first started Sensa I would sit down to eat and then half-way through my meal I would realize that I forgot to sprinkle the Sensa on my food.  As simple as the entire program is, I often forgot to do the simple act of sprinkling the Sensa on my food before I ate.  I even had two shakers for the month so I would have one at home and have one to take with me and yet I would realize after I started my eating… that the Sensa shaker never made it out of my pocket.  Not using Sensa really becomes a problem when you are trying to lose weight.  It took a few weeks before I conditioned myself to sprinkle it on everything I ate.

There are not many rules with using Sensa which means there are not many problems or issues that crop up.  No matter how effective Sensa can be, it really did not matter when I left the shaker in my pocket.  To help me remember to use Sensa I took a pen and wrote a larger letter “S” on my hand.  That “S” may seem elementary or childish but it worked. It solved the Sensa problem!  By placing an “S” on my hand I saw it each and every time that I ate.  The simple act of drawing an “S” on my hand eliminated the problem of forgetting to use Sensa before I started to eat.  My friends thought it was funny to have an “S” on my hand but I did not care.  I wanted to give Sensa an opportunity to work because I really wanted it to help me lose weight.

Another problem I had with Sensa during my early days was that I was embarrassed for anyone to see me using it in public.  I learned that I could put it into an unmarked container but I was too lazy to do that, so I just kind of hid it from sight at first.  Once I started to realize that I was really losing weight I got over being embarrassed.  As I got thinner I started to enjoy showing it to people.  I think it was because once I realized it worked I no longer cared what others thought because it was helping me to lose weight.

Overall I really had no major problems with Sensa.  As time went on and I lost weight my friends started to think that I was selling the stuff out of my car or something like that because I was always eager to talk and share my success with anyone that would listen.  I think that as I started to get thinner my self confidence started to blossom.

Another problem I had when I started to lose much of my weight was that the clothing I had started to get too baggy for me.  I do not have much money and when my wardrobe did not fat anymore, it became a big problem.  What I did was I started to shop at second hand stores to save money.  I was able to get clothing at reduced prices and not have to walk around naked or with my pants falling down.  This clothing problem was not one that I anticipated but it was one problem that I really did not mind having to deal with.

Looking back on my weight loss with Sensa I have realized that none of the problems were that bad.  Sensa helped me lose weight and that really changed much in my life. Sensa really was not a problem at all… but more like the solution.

I have seen many questions come across my monitor that are directly related to Sensa side effects.  One of the most common concerns is that a person will suffer from some sort of illness or something from using Sensa.  I find it interesting that everyone is so concerned for the side effects of Sensa and yet we still have legal tobacco in this country.  I really do not think there is concern for Sensa I think the concern is more about having to make an effort to lose weight.  If a side effect is what you are worried about then fret not as the FDA has rated Sensa as GRAS, which means that there are no ingredients used in Sensa that are considered as not safe.  Generally Recognizable As Safe.

Despite all of the fanfare and all of the arguments about how effective Sensa is or is not, nobody can dispute the fact that one of the possible side-effects of Sensa is a headache.  Despite the official site claiming the following there are no side-effects, you are still consulted to seek a physician.  I really do not think that there are any tangible side-effects of Sensa, but there are still those that claim they get headaches.

I am not a doctor but if you are getting a headache and you think it is because of Sensa then stop using it till the headache subsides.  After the headache subsides, maybe the next day, start using again.  I think that you will see that Sensa does not really have any side-effects, and that is to imply that you don’t get a headache from sprinkling Sensa.  Sensa can be considered a great weight loss tool or you can laugh that it is a total scam, but it is our opinion that you nothing to worry about because of the ingredients.  We have never felt ill from using Sensa and although some have said they had headaches, I have never heard of it being a persistent problem.

One side effect of Sensa might be weight loss….but then could that really be considered a side effect?

I have been asked by more than a few people if a person has to exercise when they use Sensa.  Since all of the people that know me always see me with a Sensa Shaker they know I would have the answer.  Despite how impressive my weight loss has been, I still have many people that doubt how effective Sensa can be to help a person to lose weight.  I did not deliberatly ”exercise” while using Sensa, I did what I call accidental exercise.

The answer to the question of whether or not a person needs to exercise when using Sensa is a simple yes and it is also a simple no.  Actually either answer would be correct and here is why.  Weight loss all comes down to calories in and calories burned.  The less calories you eat and the more calories you burn…the faster a person loses weight.

The entire concept behind Sensa is that a person will sprinkle it on their food at mealtime and it helps them feel full faster.  By feeling full faster a person will not want to eat as much food and that could result in a calorie deficit for the day.  When a person has a calorie deficit, they lose weight.  Sensa is designed to help you want to eat less calories than you normally do and that can result in weight loss.

If a person sprinkles Sensa on their food and then pays attention to the fact that they are full sooner and then acts on that feeling by eating less food, the potential exists to lose weight. That is as simple as weight loss theory can be and that is about as simple as the way Sensa can be explained.  By using Sensa and eating less food a person can lose weight and yet not have to exercise.

Sensa and exercise do not go hand in hand but that does not make it the right way to go about weight loss.  Sure the potential of weight loss is there with Sensa but the potential to lose weight even faster can be realized simply by moving the body more and that does not mean you have to exercise.  This is where the term accidental exercise comes into play and this can be the type of exercise you may want to do while using Sensa.

Simply answered… a person does not have to exercise while using Sensa to lose weight but the more important thing than losing weight should be your overall health.  Too often people confuse exercise with body movement and if you want to lose weight with Sensa why not combine both?  Why not increase your activity in a mild way to help you burn the fat even faster?

Since you do not want to exercise while using Sensa why not try accidental exercise?  Park further from the store to get in a few more steps.  Take the stairs instead of the elevator, at least part way?  The whole point is that exercise does not have to mean going to the gym and exercise is not necessary to lose weight while using Sensa.  If you do decide to lose weight using Sensa then if you want to lose it even faster you should try some exercise, even if it is accidental.

Either way you go you will be healthier if you lose weight and the more activity you get in.. the faster that weight loss can occur.  Granted exercise may not be needed to lose weight with Sensa, but it would not hurt you to at least get in some physical activity, no matter how little it may be.  The short walks, the stairs and walking to the store can be powerful allies of Sensa and those allies can only help you lose weight faster.

Exercise may not be required to lose weight with Sensa but as with any form of weight loss, exercise will not hurt your weight loss results.
