Strength Training

Well hellooooooo there! I’m Dayna Devon, I am the biggest cheerleader (and spokesperson) of the Sensa Weight Loss System ever. I’m looking forward to my visit up in Canada and The Shopping Channel tomorrow to present the Today’s Showstopper from Sensa!

In 5 months, I lost 14 pounds without doing ANYTHING different. I am embarrassed to say, I didn’t even work out (although I do think that’s important). Even more exciting, I have kept it off for the last 6 months!

All I did was bring my Sensa shaker everywhere with me and I sprinkled the tastants on everything I ate (actually that was the hardest part - remembering to use the dang thing). I immediately dropped some weight but then it was about a month-and-a-half before I lost more. After that I steadily lost about 2 pounds a month and that’s all I did.

Everyone asks how it works and I tell them that as you eat you absorb the tastants through your nose (smell) and through the roof of your mouth. That stimulates the satiety center of your brain (which controls your appetite). The satiety center releases a hormone that tells your stomach you are full and over time you will find that you are eating less and losing weight. It is quite honestly one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me. I LOVE IT. I don’t have to use those pre-packaged meals, pills, shakes, add up points, or stand in line to weigh in.

I am finally in control of my weight and in control of my life.

Try it! Happy sprinkling!

XOXO,
Dayna Devon
Sensa Spokesperson
