For most of human history, food has been scarce, and supplies unpredictable. As a result, humans have been programmed, over millions of years, to eat as much as possible, whenever possible

But today, thanks to agricultural advances, food is abundant for most Americans. The result has been a massive calorie surplus. We take in more calories than our bodies can use up, and all of those extra calories are converted to fat.

Overcoming the biological drive to overeat
The Sensa Weight-Loss System addresses this problem of our evolutionary past by using the human senses of taste and smell to help us gain greater satisfaction from a smaller amount of food.

The scientific principle behind Sensa is remarkably simple. You may recall learning in biology class that smell and taste are connected. As you eat, the two senses work together to stimulate an area of the brain called the “satiety center,” which tells your body when it’s time to stop eating. By enhancing smell (sensory input), Sensa Tastants help to enable the brain-stomach connection and trigger the "feel full" signal.

When you first start on the Sensa program, the Tastants do all the work. Over time, you will begin to intuitively understand portion control and develop healthier eating habits, without having to give up any of your favorite foods.

How Sensa Tastants work to curb appetite

How Sensa Tastants Work to Make You Feel Full Faster

• Scents from Sensa Tastants travel through your nose to nerve receptors.
• The receptors send signals to the brain that stimulate the olfactory bulb.
• The olfactory bulb, in turn, signals the satiety center in the hypothalamus.
• The hypothalamus sends signals to the pituitary gland that triggers the release of hormones that suppress
  hunger and appetite.
