The Obesity Epidemic; USA Today Report and SENSA Helping to Teach Portion Control

MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. (July 27, 2012) – The obesity numbers are out there, and they are frightening.  According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than one-third of Americans are obese, and another third are overweight. Some 26 million Americans have Type 2 diabetes, and an additional 79 million are pre-diabetic.  Top national newspapers, such as USA TODAY and the New York Times, continue to address this epidemic, yet many still question how society can overcome this obstacle as it continues to spiral out of control.
 
The USA Today recently reported on the CDC’s latest projection, which warns that “42 percent of Americans may end up obese by 2030 (up from 36 percent in 2010), and 11 percent could be severely obese, roughly 100 or more pounds over a healthy weight (vs. 6 percent in 2010).”  The paper has also been covering New York City’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s efforts to restrict restaurants, movie theaters and other eateries from serving giant-sized soft drinks.
 
It is evident the United States is engulfed in super-size restaurant portions and hectic work and family schedules, while many continue to fail at trying to live a happy, healthier life. 
 
For those who struggle with proper portion control, SENSA® - a simple and effective weight-loss solution - makes it easy for people to achieve a healthy weight and still enjoy a happy, meaningful life. SENSA® gives users the freedom and flexibility to enjoy their favorite foods and activities while they lose unwanted pounds. With no meal plans, pre-packaged foods or calorie counting, SENSA® doesn’t require any drastic lifestyle changes. 
 
Dr. Jules Hirsch, emeritus professor and emeritus physician in chief at Rockefeller University, who has been researching obesity for nearly 60 years, and was recently featured in The New York Times, stated that those who want to lose weight should “eat a lower-calorie diet. They should eat whatever they normally eat, but eat less. You must carefully measure this. Eat as little as you can get away with, and try to exercise more.”
 
SENSA® uses scented, flavorless crystals called “Tastants” to help safely and effectively curb the appetite. Users simply sprinkle SENSA® Tastants on everything they eat to help speed up the satiety process, so they feel full and satisfied faster, and ultimately eat less and lose weight.  Based on 25 years of research, SENSA® is clinically proven with an average weight loss of 30.5 pounds in 6 months.
 
The SENSA Weight-Loss System is available at GNC and Costco stores nationwide and online at GNC.com, Costco.com, and www.trysensa.com.
