Starting Sensa

Okay, my Sensa box finally arrived. I'm a little ticked off by how long it took, considering it was supposed to be expedited shipping. Now I only have about 20 days to test it out before I need to ask for a refund if I'm going to.

Starting details: I won't go into measurements here, but my starting weight is 225 (UGH!)

I received the paperback book, which was a very quick read. Basically just the science behind Sensa, and how to get the most out of Sensa. The first step is just sprinkling on everything. The second step is incorporating some better food choices to help keep away cravings and increase satiety. The third step is to incorporate some activity--not just scheduled exercise, but also more small movements throughout the day.

So, I sprinkled on my dinner last night. I was eating salad at California Pizza Kitchen. It was a pretty light choice to start with, and not a large portion. I wouldn't say that I felt full at any point. But I did leave a little over, mostly just greens after I'd eaten all the good stuff. Everyone else went for DQ afterwards, and I don't know that it had anything to do with the Sensa, or just the fact that I want to lose weight, but I was able to resist at least.

I sprinkled breakfast (a bowl of cereal), and a mid-morning snack (greek yogurt). I wasn't hungry for lunch until quite late, and had a small fruit salad and a buttered English muffin. Again, sprinkling did not cause me to leave over any of these meals, but they were pretty small to start with. Alas, I already forgot to take my sprinkles with me when we went out to dinner tonight. Fortunately, we went to Fuddrucker's, which I really don't like, so I had a light salad with some chicken, almonds, blue cheese and cranberries. Tonight, I had an ice cream sandwich, and sprinkled it.

So, first of all, although the sprinkles do have a slight smell to them, I cannot taste them at all in the food nor do I smell them once they're on the food. I haven't noticed any particular fullness. We'll just see what happens.
