This is the Hirsch book I like

This is where Dr Hirsch started - book tells how he arrived at his theory regarding weight and sense of smell. Interesting background. Then the doctor goes on to tell how smell affects our appetite and gives lots of examples. I found this book worth a bazillion times more than his product and book, Sensa! THis is a down to earth book full of common sense and fun to read to boot. I left off one star because he doesn't go into calories at all and uses vials of odorants for his research - only one chapter on just "sniffing" which is what is should all be about. He suggests sniffing before the first bite but I have found, after some experimenting, that if I put the food in my mouth, chew just slightly, and then do the "wine slurp" (draw the air into your mouth through slightly parted lips as if you were doing a wine tasting) the flavor of the food is really really enhanced and the delightful smell goes up into your palate and nose and - surprise!! - you're appetite is satiated about half way through the meal. Eat less, lose weight!

Thanks so much!

I really needed these books for my new online store, so thanks for helping me start my new business!

Scentsational weight loss

Very interesting and helpful research over many years and thousands of patients icluding one the biggest long-term studies into weight loss. Also backed up by last years nobel prize for medicine that was awarded (not to Alan Hirsch) for studies into olfaction and how it works in conjunction with our brains.

Great scientific discoveries presented in fun way.

Very interesting, fun to read. Great, natural answer to the serious problem of so many Americans!!!
