Eat all the foods you like…and still shed unwanted pounds. All it takes is a sprinkle of this and a sprinkle of that to help you lose weight! Dolly Kiosea says she's finally winning her battle of the bulge. "I've lost twenty eight pounds since I've started," Dolly beams. The best part...she's shedding the pounds while eating all her favorite foods. "I'm eating fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, I love steak," Dolly says. So, how's the weight coming off? She says the secret's in the sprinkles…developed by Dr. Alan Hirsch of The Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation. "What the sprinkles are is they're a unique blend of different sweet flavors and salty flavors, things like cheddar cheese, mocha, horseradish, strawberry," Dr. Hirsch explains. The sprinkles are non-caloric and contain artificial and natural ingredients approved for use in food products. You simply shake them on whatever you eat…the salty ones on savory things and the sweet ones on things like yogurt, cereal and desserts. If you try them right out of the container, you may taste the flavor…but once they're on your meal, that flavor disappears. "What we're doing is intensifying the smell and the taste of the food," Dr. Hirsch says. Dr. Hirsch says that helps suppress hunger and tricks the brain into feeling full. "It would induce something called Sensory Specific Satiety. It makes your brain perceive that you've eaten more than you have and thus you eat less and lose weight," Dr. Hirsch explains. Dolly says her portion sizes have definitely slimmed down. "I used to go out for sushi and I used to eat four or five rolls. Now I'm mostly just having one roll." Dolly's not alone. Dr. Hirsch just completed a peer reviewed clinical study of nearly 1,500 people who used the sprinkles on everything they ate…without changing their diet or exercise routine. "We found an average weight loss over 6 months of 30 and a half pounds," Dr. Hirsch recalls. Elisa Zied, with the American Dietetic Association, has looked at the evidence and is intrigued. But even if the sprinkles help you eat less …she wonders what happens if you stop sprinkling. "If you're not doing what you did to lose weight, probably you won't be able to keep the weight off. Most dieters start to gain weight back after six months," Zied warns. Dr. Hirsch hasn't studied the long-term effects yet. However, he's heard from some study participants who stopped sprinkling, and they're keeping the weight off or continuing to lose more. "Our hope is that as people lost 20, 30, 40 pounds, begin to feel better about themselves, would inadvertently get greater exercise and induce a greater snowball effect causing them to get further weight loss," Dr. Hirsch says. Dolly hopes to lose at least another twenty pounds using her new favorite condiment. She says, "I feel so good knowing that I finally found something that's really working for me." The sprinkles will be marketed as a food product. Officials who helped develop them say since they are all made of ingredients that are 'generally recognized as safe' by the Food and Drug Administration, no FDA involvement is necessary. We called the FDA and they said from what they can see the company is right. The sprinkles, called Sensa are for sale online. The sprinkles come in numbered containers. You get a different savory and sweet flavor each month.
