Overeating is programmed into our DNA

(ARA) - Unfortunately, even though the world advanced with technology making our lives much easier, our hunger pains are still the same as they were 2 million years ago.

Back then, the rare meal of complex sugars and carbohydrates used to give our hunter-gatherer ancestors an extra boost of energy to finish preparing the harvest or even to bring down a woolly mammoth. Food supplies were limited, so an energy-packed meal was a special treat. People burned off calories quickly through the exertion required to stay alive.

Food is no longer scarce. There are no more woolly mammoths. And we're gaining weight.

During the last century, hearty meals have become abundantly available, but our bodies are still programmed to overeat. It is built into our DNA. No amount of willpower can overcome this primal drive.

Recognizing that for most people losing weight is a battle against their very nature, a Chicago-based neurologist developed the Sensa Weight-Loss System. The program addresses the desire to overeat head on -- literally -- by using the sense of smell to activate an equally primal process in the brain that tells your body it's time to stop eating. It works with your body's natural urges, not against them, so you can eat less without even thinking about it.

The process couldn't be more simple: Scents that are so subtle they can only be distinguished by the brain are carried on Sensa Tastants which you sprinkle on your food. The crystals don't change the taste of the food -- so you can still enjoy what you're eating -- but your brain gets the message that you've had enough to eat. It's effortless portion control, without denying your system the foods it was built to enjoy.

There is no sacrifice with this system, but Sensa will still help you consume smaller portions. By eating less, you'll take in fewer calories and will lose weight. How much weight? In clinical studies, men and women who tried the Sensa Weight-Loss System each lost an average of 30.5 pounds. All that weight loss without losing the pleasure of eating what you love.

Sensa is not designed to replace healthy choices about nutrition and exercise, but it is a common-sense approach to food. It's leading-edge technology that embraces our primal nature while slowly retraining our system to eat sensibly. Weight loss is gradual, but consistent.

A flavorless, odorless sprinkle that triggers this type of weight loss -- too good to be true? Apparently the company anticipated a somewhat skeptical response from consumers, jaded by a weight loss industry spread thick with misleading claims. For that reason, they have introduced the product through a special Free Trial Offer that lets you try it before paying for it. You can learn more at TrySensa.com.

" Sens.... huh?

Never heard of it, but this method of consumption control seems pretty interesting.

Question for SockFuzz ---- Why do we have to eat the crystals to "smell" them? Does this system have a cream or something that we could just rub on our upper lip (like in the movies)?

Thanks for the info. :) "

" The idea of scent is used to train dogs so why not humans?
Dog trainers spray vanilla scent as a reward/indication of good behavior. Seems like the same idea with Sensa. "
