Why Sensa Makes Sense for Me

By Jay Steiner


I've learned the hard way not to compare my body to other people's bodies, especially emaciated and surgically altered models who are further airbrushed into perfection. True beauty comes from within. If you are self-confident and comfortable with yourself, you will appear more attractive than people who are miserably comparing themselves to others.

Having grown up with a mother who obsessed constantly over her weight and made everyone around her miserable, I vowed that would like my body no matter how it changed, and change it did. Unfortunately, it seems I acquired a relentlessly high self-esteem when it comes to body image, so when increasing demands on my time meant more fast food and fewer trips to the gym, I was able to gain a whole lot of weight without thinking twice.

Looking like a fashion model is not my goal, but living a happy and healthy life is. Luckily my doctor intervened and told me that I needed to get my weight back down into the normal range. Thank goodness she did, because being overweight is directly related to the top killer diseases in the United States:

*Type 2 Diabetes: More than 85 percent of people with type 2 diabetes are overweight. Type 2 diabetes can lead to heart and kidney disease, stroke, amputation, and blindness. In 2002, diabetes was the 6th leading cause of death in the United States. *Heart Disease and Stroke: Overweight people tend to have high blood pressure, high bad cholesterol, and low good cholesterol, and these are all factors that can make you have a heart attack or a stroke. Heart disease is the #1 cause of death in the United States, and stroke is the 3rd leading cause of death. *Cancer: Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United State. Being overweight can increase your risk of developing several types of cancer, including cancers of the colon, esophagus, and kidney. Being overweight is also linked with uterine and postmenopausal breast cancer in women.

I am lucky that I still have great cholesterol and that I have not yet developed diabetes or cancer, but I do have high blood pressure, and my blood pressure medication has already been doubled.

My job has me working more hours, and the kids also keep me busy. Eating on the go makes me lose track of what I am eating. This is where the Sensa diet plan can help. What is Sensa? It is a diet system made to help people, like me, get more satisfaction out of smaller amounts of food. It was designed by a neural scientist who understands the role that the brain plays in limiting the amount of caloric intake. My brain will tell me to stop eating sooner, so I won't over eat. The Sensa plan is also ultra-convenient, another big plus for busy people, and easy and doesn't make me buy special foods, avoid restaurants or parties, or make food differently for me than for my family. Simple and sensible.
