2009 DIET TRENDS
Splenda Mist, Fat Burning Lemonade, and Sensa
While we think you look fabulous the way you are, and are certainly not advocating any of the below, there's no denying the fact that fad diet products seem to be on their way back. These are just three that have hit our radar:
|
Splenda Mist
:
The no calorie sweetener brand is now offering the same flavor found in its signature yellow packets in the convenience of a compact spritz bottle. Complete with limited edition artwork, the Splenda Mist bottles were introduced via the company's Facebook page and offered fans - at press time, a number that exceeded 3,000 - the opportunity to sign up to get a free bottle of the spray. Presenting those looking to cut calories with a new option for sweetness, this spray bottle offers users an easy way to keep calories in check on the go.

Fat Burning Lemonade:
The Master Cleanse seems to be back and more popular than ever and not just because of holiday gluttony. The desire to "cleanse" and/or "detox" is becoming more common even among those not necessarily looking to lose weight. Essentially a packaged version of the diet, Fat Burning Lemonade is an instant drink mix that's supposed to convert fat into energy. But unlike the cleanse that made lemonade such a hot diet product, practitioners of this diet can also eat actual food.

Sensa
:
A doctor-created weight loss system designed to work with the body's natural impulses without stimulants, pills or food restrictions, Sensa may sound too good to be true. However, the patent-pending technology, based on more than 20 years of research, uses the senses of smell and taste to safely and naturally suppress one's appetite without affecting the taste of one's food: Part of the diet, Sensa's Tastants is a product that one sprinkles on meals to help enable the brain-stomach connection and trigger the "feel full" signal. A dual-compartment, portable container holds both Sweet and Salty Tastants.
