[♪...] >> woman: there is no typical day in my life. i'm a, a busy mom, i work, i travel... it's crazy around here. everywhere i go, sensa goes, and it completely fits in my lifestyle. here's the thing: weight-loss is really difficult, and i tried almost every other weight-loss program out there. i tried sensa and for me, this was it. it changed my life. it's allowed me to live my life. it's allowed me to eat food. i never felt better. my name is dayna devon, i live in los angeles, and i've lost 20 pounds with the sensa weight-loss system. >> announcer: now, here to tell you about this amazing new breakthrough in weight-loss is award-winning journalist, tv host and remarkable weight-loss success story herself,

dayna devon. >> hi, i'm dayna devon. that was me 20 pounds ago. before i discovered sensa i tried everything to take that weight off after i had children, and nothing worked for me... until sensa. with this amazing product i've changed my body and changed my life, and i'm here today with just a few of the hundreds of thousands of people who have already lost millions of pounds with sensa. like miriam, who lost 45 pounds... brian, who lost 30 pounds... and gaylene, who dropped an incredible 62 pounds. sensa is an amazing weight-loss system that you sprinkle on to take the weight off. you just sprinkle, eat, and lose weight-- it's that simple. with sensa you lose weight safely, there's no scary surgery, you never have to count a calorie or buy prepackaged food. you don't even have to increase your exercise or change your daily routine. there's no stimulants, diuretics, and sensa is not a pill. all you have to do is sprinkle sensa on your food before you

eat it, and sensa does the rest. it's simple, it's actually fun, and guess what, it works! >> to finally find something that works for me is incredible. i'm getting chills saying that. >> anybody can use it. you just shake it on your food. [chuckling]: it's not hard it all. >> if you can't diet... [laughs] like me, and, um, you like the good stuff, you don't have to change your diet. >> i'm nick, and i lost 28-1/2 pounds with sensa. >> i'm miriam, and i've lost 45 pounds in seven months. >> my name is solange and i lost 46 pounds using sensa. >> i lost 50 pounds and went from a size 19 to a 9/10. >> i'm david and i lost 93 pounds using sensa. [♪...] >> so, how does sensa work? well, at the heart of the sensa program is a revolutionary technology that's based on 25 years of research and testing. it was discovered by a brilliant research scientist and my hero, dr. alan hirsch. dr. hirsh holds five medical

board certifications and is recognized as the world's leading expert on the science of smell and taste. he's appeared on oprah, good morning america, dateline, extra, the cbs early show, cnn and in hundreds of newspapers and magazines around the world. during the course of his pioneering research, dr. hirsch discovered the groundbreaking secret behind sensa that's changed the way the world looks at weight-loss forever. >> after 25 years of research, i finally figured out why diets don't work. most diets focus on what you eat-- they have it all wrong. sensa looks at why you overeat and the biological mechanisms that prevent you from overeating. it uses the body's natural physiology to prevent you from overeating. i found that hunger isn't controlled by your stomach. it's controlled by your brain. we don't overeat just because we're hungry. it's because we love to eat. and diets don't stop you from wanting to eat, they just stop

you from eating what you want, and that's a recipe for failure. the key is a medical phenomenon called sensory specific satiety. as you eat, sensa works with your senses to activate your body's natural hunger control switch and triggers your body into thinking you've eaten more than you have, so you begin to lose weight without having to think about it. the reason sensa works when diets don't is because it lets you do what no diet can. it lets you lose weight while still eating the foods you love most without ever feeling hungry or deprived. >> i lost over 120 pounds with sensa. everything else i tried did not work for me except for sensa. i could eat whatever i wanted whenever i wanted with sensa, and i was seeing a steady weight-loss. you just, you know, add this to your food whenever you eat and that's it. i was a size 48 in my waist and now i'm a size 28. i lost weight with sensa. [laughs]

>> so let me show you the entire sensa program. now, careful, like i said before, don't blink 'cause you might miss it. [♪...] that's the complete program. all you have to do is sprinkle sensa on all your favorite foods, and the weight just comes off. >> sensa works, sensa's great. i love it. i could eat what i wanted. it was so simple and so easy to adapt to. month after month when the weight started coming off, i felt like i was just shedding, like, a second skin. i love trying on bathing suits. i had not gone near a bathing suit in 2-1/2 years. so, it's, um... it's... it's amazing, it's amazing. >> when i look in the mirror and i realize, you know, i haven't been this small, you know, nearly my entire married life, 12, 15 years, um... it's just amazing. i can still have chicken nuggets if i want to, with the kids, or we can have hot dogs, we can have hamburgers. and it takes a very small amount of those things to satisfy

me now. i'm wendy and i've lost 75 pounds with sensa. >> i recently caught up with patti stanger from bravo's hit show the millionaire matchmaker. i could not believe how amazing she looks from using sensa. coming up, you'll get the exclusive scoop on how she did it. but first, it's your opportunity to take advantage of an exclusive limited-time tv offer to try sensa for yourself. here's how to order. >> announcer: if you've tried to lose weight, there's something you already know: no matter what restrictive diets, programs or products you've tried, they've all had one thing in common-- they didn't work. but there's something new that will! right now, hundreds of thousands of people are already losing millions of pounds without dieting. they've discovered the most revolutionary weight-loss breakthrough of the 21st century. it's called sensa, the amazing new clinically proven sensation that you sprinkle on to take the weight off. whether you need to lose 10 pounds, 50 pounds or more, now you can.

[♪...] >> my typical day is absolutely crazy. i have five children and on top of that, i'm a working professional. i just don't have time to diet. with five children, i'm constantly running to football, cheerleading, cross-country. i even coach cheerleading. many times we have to go through a fast-food restaurant and pick up something. sensa works for me because i can continue to eat that food with my children. i just sprinkle sensa and don't gorge myself while i'm eating it.

sensa seems to work into my schedule and has helped me lose weight. i'm jennifer, i live in knoxville, tennessee, and i've lost 58 pounds using sensa. [♪...] >> sensa works. no other weight-loss product has such extraordinary clinical results. in one of the largest clinical studies ever conducted for a non-pharmaceutical weight-loss product, over 1400 people were given sensa and told not to diet and not to change their exercise routine. in most diet studies, people lose a little weight, but with sensa, the average was an incredible 30-1/2 pounds. now compare that to the other group in the study, the group that wasn't given sensa. they lost an average of only two pounds, so the people who used sensa lost 30 pounds, while the people who didn't lost only two. and remember, 30 was just the average. right now, sensa users are losing millions of pounds. like gaylene, who struggled with a common problem for women in their 50s before she found sensa.

gaylene married her high school sweetheart, but with a big reunion coming up, she was so embarrassed by her menopausal weight gain, she didn't even want to go. ...gaylene, you look incredible! >> thank you! >> how much weight have you lost? >> i've lost 62 pounds. >> was it hard? >> [groans] no. [both laugh] i wish i could say it was, i wish i could take credit for it, but it was easy. i just used sensa. i just started losing a little bit of weight the first month, a little bit of weight the second month. on the fourth month the blobs of muffin-tops i had going over my size 14 and 16 pants just melted away. i don't know where it went. [laughs] it was amazing. >> what are some of the things people say to you when they see you out? >> i just went to my 40th high school reunion with my husband and saw a lot of people i haven't seen for a very long time, and someone even told me that i look more beautiful now than i did when i was in high school. >> oh... >> i know, it was really sweet. [laughs] >> you do, you look so

beautiful, you just glow. >> thank you, dayna. >> sensa is a huge breakthrough in the field of weight-loss. i have not come across anything that's quite like sensa, or at all like sensa. sensa actually works on that, you know, satiety system to make you feel full, cause you to think, o.k., i've had enough, and, you know, push your plate away, and that in itself is a breakthrough, because i don't think there's any other diet that, that does that. sensa actually works. the sprinkles work, the science behind it is valid, and people do end up, for the vast majority of people, losing a lot of weight. >> i've been practicing heart surgery for 15 years, and this is a product that i truly believe in. i believe in sensa. there's a lot of diet products out there that have not worked. um, if you're overweight, it makes all the sense in the world to try it... 'cause it will work and it's been proven to be extremely effective, and i think it's going to make major impacts with regards to reduction of obesity, and any

one of my patients in search for an effective way and a safe way of being able to lose weight, sensa is the product that i would suggest that they use. >> sensa allows you to eat all of the foods you love and lose weight. you simply, naturally eat less of them. sprinkle sensa on, take the weight off. it's really that simple. you just sprinkle, eat, and lose the weight. sensa just makes sense. >> i started sensa and, you know, within six months, i've lost 50 pounds and it's been so exciting for me and my family. i don't feel like i'm starving, i don't feel like i'm cutting anything out of my life. i love carbs... you know, some diets i've tried before where i cut out, you know, bread or... tried to restrict those types of foods, and with sensa i didn't have to do that-- i could eat what i wanted and still feel, you know, full and happy and lose weight. i don't have to fix a separate meal for myself. i fix one meal for the whole family and then we all sit down

and eat it together-- i'm just eating smaller portions of it. it's really hard to lose weight. it's been a constant battle for me my whole life. you know, you're looking for something that's gonna work, and so many of these diets don't, but sensa really does. it's just... it's an amazing experience. you get to eat what you want and still lose all this weight, and it's phenomenal.

[♪...] >> i'm doris sellars, i'm from twentynine palms, california, and i've lost 45 pounds with sensa. i've had a love for horses my entire life. i got into roping, and that's competitive. i got into shooting, and by the time was 50 i had packed on 45 pounds. i just pretty much gave up anything to do with my horses. i didn't feel like i could be competitive, i didn't feel like i was on my game. losing the weight has meant everything to me. i not only lost the 45 pounds, i've maintained it for a year and a half, i'm back to riding and roping, shooting. sensa has given me my life back.

because of sensa, i'm back in the saddle again. >> sensa works because it combines the knowledge of solid, clinically proven science with the wisdom that any weight-loss program has to fit into your lifestyle. how hard has it been to stay on some restrictive diet when cooking for your family or eating out at some incredible restaurant? impossible, right? well, not with sensa. you just sprinkle sensa on that incredible meal you just cooked for your family or that amazing steak the waiter just served you and allow the sprinkles to go to work. no special prepackaged foods, no dangerous drugs or chemicals, no counting calories... all you do is sprinkle sensa on and take the weight off. what could be easier? you can live your life, love your food and still lose weight. >> diets don't work because they're restrictive. they're based on prohibition, and you can't live your life restricting yourself every moment of every day, 24/7. the reason that sensa works and diets don't work is because

sensa looks at the back end-- not preventing you from eating what you want to eat but making you satisfied with the amount that you do eat. instead of the guilt and the, the feelings of failure and the oppression that diets put on you, sensa's a natural way of losing weight that's easy to do and is successful. sensa works. [♪...] >> dayna: everyone knows it's important to look your best, especially in hollywood. recently i was at the hollywood life awards where sensa was named the breakthrough weight-loss product of the year. i caught up with patti stanger, star of bravo's hit tv show, the millionaire matchmaker. she lost 20 pounds in just two months with sensa. >> you look so amazing. >> thank you so much. >> you do, you look so amazing. what's going on? >> well, a really funny thing happened to me. i have been, you know, battling with my weight my whole life... >> i understand. >> i'm a curvy girl, you know, and i saw you on tv, believe it or not, selling a great product named sensa... >> right. >> and i was like, "god, you lost weight fast in such a short period of time," and i ran out and i purchased it and it works.

burst inside the tent. >> he goes around me, holds me. he said it's okay, it's okay, it's going to be fine. i said please, don't take me. he said we're from the police, we're from the police, we are rescuing you. >> did you believe him? >> i was trying. i was just hoping it wasn't a dream, because i thought i might be dreaming. >> we covered elisa with a blanket, put ourselves on top of her so she could not be harmed again. >> the man cradling her in a bulletproof blanket was pepe, the undercover agent from the anti-kidnapping police. >> he said it's okay, elisa. when i heard my parents' names, i was happy. >> she began to hug me and we told her what we always say to those we've rescued. welcome to liberty. >> she got the phone call. i was still in bed.

she started screaming and everyone jumped up. >> we all scream. it was the best moment of my life. >> you feel you could just breathe again. >> she was safe, but was she really all right? they would have to wait hours to find out. the rescuers whisked her back here. she was desperate to see her family. hadn't even talked to them by phone. but officials had a different idea. they wanted to publicize their victory so other families of kidnapped victims might feel more comfortable calling the police. they wanted to televise the levy family reunion live on camera. elisa was taken to the headquarters to wait for a 1:00 p.m. press conference. officials would announce her rescue, and finally allow her to see her parents, brother and sister. >> i can remember like every single minute of that waiting.

it was like a long, long, long time. even i could say that was even longer than the three weeks i was away. >> after a brief press conference, the levys walked through the crush of cameras and into elisa's arms. >> it was a good feeling now that my daughter was safe. >> it was the best thing ever. just being able to see them. also to feel that now that they're fine, that they know i'm fine. it was all i needed. it's all i wanted, just to be with them. >> in the end, her captors had been common criminals, not guerrilla fighters at all. elisa's testimony helped convict the ring leader and the guard she called the good guy, but the bad guy is still at large. in the two years since her

kidnapping, elisa has thought of the u.s. and south american agents that saved her every day. but she's tried to put the terrifying 21 days behind her. still, she agreed to come with me to a reconstruction of the place she was held created for us by the agents that rescued her. >> what does it feel like to look at this now? >> weird. >> weird? >> yeah. >> she still remembers every detail. >> your leg was chained, right? both ankles or one? >> at the beginning, both, then one. >> what about going to the bathroom? >> i had to go as far as the chains would go. >> they wouldn't let you off the chain to go to the bathroom? >> no. >> when you look back now, when you look at this, can you believe you did 21 days in something like that? >> i think i haven't assimilated all of this yet. the view from there, it was a nice forest. some people might not like to be in a forest 21 days, but i would

rather be there than in a small, dark room. >> you're a positive thinker. >> my mind work like that, too. >> to keep you alive and sane. >> yeah, yeah. >> during those days chained to a tree, elisa found strength dreaming of the freedom she would feel soaring on her bicycle, and it may sound hard to believe, but just eight weeks after coming home, she left for that long planned bike trip through south america. >> woo! >> a 4,000 mile journey, covered by the local press. >> for me it has been one of the greatest things in my life, that bike trip. after all that happened, it was like a healing thing. >> she was like trying to retake her life, not like sitting on her bed to cry or stuff like that. >> she helped us. >> she helped you get through it. >> yeah. at the end she was disappointed all of us. >> happy to be alive and happy to be with m family.
