Octavia Spencer Reveals The Secret Behind Her Weight Loss!



She’s proud to say she has dropped serious poundage with the help of the Sensa. “I’ve lost 20 lbs., but I don’t have a pound goal. It’s more to me about being health conscious, because I don’t want to diet, but I know that I need to do things in moderation.”

Still, she doesn’t want to be a stick-thin star. “I think it’s important for me to say that weight loss, for me, has been more about being healthy and being comfortable in my own skin, as I’ve always been,” she says. “Putting my best foot forward at getting healthy, and I’m glad that Sensa has helped me do it.”

“It’s easy,” she says. “You have one choice: you can sprinkle and lose weight, or you can not sprinkle and not lose weight. [laughs] In layman’s terms, that’s how easy it is.”

Aside from Sensa, what are her weight-loss secrets? “Dietwise, I eat what I normally eat. I had a personal trainer before Sensa, and seeing the results from using Sensa, I basically upped it a bit. Honestly, it’s been that, eating exactly what I want to eat, and that’s being 100% honest.”

Catch Octavia presenting at The Oscars, which begin Sunday at 7 p.m. ET on ABC.


OK!

ok y'all, what is your diet routines/tips?

"I think it's interesting, the idea that you'd sprinkle something on food and it enhances the flavor. It's a great concept if humans weren't so complex."

She acts like she's never heard of Mrs. Dash. I mean, really?
lillylilacs 23rd-Feb-2013 04:30 pm (UTC)
I think Allure did an article a few years ago, and the women used Sensa for like a month, and she said they only reason she could see why people would stop eating from it is the aftertaste it gives to food,
harleenfrances 24th-Feb-2013 03:59 am (UTC)
i watched a dr. oz (lol i know) episode with my nana about it and it's really hit or miss. they had one woman who said she used it for a year without changing her original eating habits (she would eat junk food 24/7 - hardly ever ate veggies/fruits) and lost almost 100 lbs. after the loss she started exercising and slowly changing her habits, ultimately losing like 200+ lbs.

they put some audience members on it for a week and some noticed a difference, others didn't. most of the ppl forgot to put it on everything they ate and it just became a hassle so of course they didn't get results.

i kind of want to try it but i think i would be one of the ppl who forgets to use it and it would just go to waste.

For any of that stuff to work, you have to exercise and eat right because dimples aka cellulite is fat.
kiki3291 23rd-Feb-2013 06:40 am (UTC)
I've been awake for too long. I thought that was a sex toy as I was scrolling down. I even read it as 'intense sex'

The labeling didn't help at all.
myblackass 23rd-Feb-2013 06:40 pm (UTC)
Me too. "Sit Tight" just made me think it was for anal.
fatbom 23rd-Feb-2013 06:46 am (UTC)
obviously not
isntdaveone 23rd-Feb-2013 06:47 am (UTC)
at first glace i thought this was lube.
lillylilacs 23rd-Feb-2013 04:52 pm (UTC)
I have heard that caffeine based creams helps reduce the appearance of cellulite, but only temporarily. There is no miracle cream that is going to ride you of it.
ediesedgwick 23rd-Feb-2013 05:15 pm (UTC)
the answer is always no tbh
tucker 24th-Feb-2013 06:32 am (UTC)
stuff like that helps but unless you just want to use it before a beach vacation or something you're committing to slathering an expensive cream on your thighs every night for the rest of your life, not really worth it imo!
demonsandsongs 23rd-Feb-2013 06:15 am (UTC)
sensa is so fucked up though.
rubybruiseday 23rd-Feb-2013 06:16 am (UTC)
how? jw i know nothing about it. seems too good to be true of course.
demonsandsongs 23rd-Feb-2013 06:22 am (UTC)
Sensa was originally banned by the FDA when it was using a different name for fraud. Anything with a side effect of "brain cell death" due to smelling the food you sprinkle it on I'd avoid.
sevenbeat 23rd-Feb-2013 06:23 am (UTC)
this is one of the reasons I guess it is fucked up

Take a diet phenomenon of 2005, Sprinkle Thin, a powder you sprinkle on your food that, through enhancing taste, is supposed to decrease appetite. The company's "study" (which was later found fraudulent) claimed people lost an average of 33.5 pounds in 6 months. Unsatisfied customers complained, but it wasn't until a year--and millions in revenue--later the website was taken down. Now a Google search for Sprinkle Thin merits the message: "The FTC warns that diet pill sites may make exaggerated claims that can potentially mislead consumers." Well, the quack doctor behind Sprinkle Thin knows how to take advantage of the FDA's hands-off policy. He reincarnated his flakes, marketing them as Sensa. "20/20" called the "doc" on his bogus claims, but legally, Sensa doesn't have to shut down until the FDA finishes lengthy studies to prove the stuff doesn't work. By that time, Sensa will have duped thousands of people and made a ga-zillion dollars."

tryxkittie 23rd-Feb-2013 06:37 am (UTC)

frenchverbs 23rd-Feb-2013 01:53 pm (UTC)
Yeah, this disappoints me. :-/
sevenbeat 23rd-Feb-2013 06:16 am (UTC)
so you sprinkle some magic powder over food and bam you eat less?

wtf who eats 4-5 sushi rolls as a meal, no wonder these people are fat
edwardemmett09 23rd-Feb-2013 06:16 am (UTC)
I used it and it actually works! You just need to remember to use it. I would be half way through a meal and go "oh crap..."
pixiegerms 23rd-Feb-2013 06:35 am (UTC)
i see u octavia. get off ontd.
msamericandream 23rd-Feb-2013 06:17 am (UTC)
stop being lazy and using all these fad diet shit things that fuck you up

eating right is 70% of it and if you jog a few times a week, the weight will fly off

nawww, these lies. -_-
sastra_fuss 23rd-Feb-2013 02:54 pm (UTC)
you just solved the mystery of weight loss. you deserve some sort of prize
rainbowren 23rd-Feb-2013 06:21 am (UTC)
I workout 4 times a week, and everything else is just in moderation. I've lost 44 lbs so far just by changing a few things in my diet, and exercising. Yay! :)
drawntoinsanity 23rd-Feb-2013 06:30 am (UTC)
awesome! congrats!
rainbowren 23rd-Feb-2013 06:42 am (UTC)
Thank you! :)
tryxkittie 23rd-Feb-2013 06:38 am (UTC)

ohprecioustime 23rd-Feb-2013 06:21 am (UTC)
LOL

idk why but she is so high profile and this is so pedestrian and beneath her

yah right she used SENSA
iprevail 23rd-Feb-2013 06:24 am (UTC)
walk everywhere, drink a ton of water, don't eat unless you're hungry, don't eat after 8PM, that's pretty much it for me :\
skonka 23rd-Feb-2013 06:27 am (UTC)
Don't eat after 8... wtf? I am just getting started after 8. That's when the cold pizza and left over Bailey's lure you into giving them head.
iprevail 23rd-Feb-2013 06:28 am (UTC)
this is assuming i'm not drunk or high, of course.

then replace all those things with "drink as much beer and eat as much pizza as possible"
jason350 23rd-Feb-2013 06:30 am (UTC)
"Don't eat after 8" That's a myth LOL! They always say to not eat after that time because of the amount you may consume earlier in the day.
guadalcanal 23rd-Feb-2013 06:49 am (UTC)
a lot of studies are finding you need to eat 8 small meals a day which seem like such a shit load of food to me

Edited at 2013-02-23 06:49 am (UTC)
colorzplosion 23rd-Feb-2013 06:59 am (UTC)
walk everywhere

yes omg. walking is my favorite way to get exercise.
howlcosmiclove 23rd-Feb-2013 07:11 am (UTC)
Walking everywhere is a good back up for those days when you're too tired/busy to work out.
dowisetrepla 23rd-Feb-2013 08:54 am (UTC)
This pretty much. I've lost 19 pounds so far just doing this.
bluebear_74 23rd-Feb-2013 09:53 am (UTC)
LOL I'm only eating dinner now (almost 9PM). I was disorganized and I cook really slow :(
joliebelle 23rd-Feb-2013 02:51 pm (UTC)
don't eat after 8? Gorl, I get off work at 8 and I am home around 8:45 and I am always starving when I get in
mistyraven 23rd-Feb-2013 06:26 am (UTC)
Today I've eaten pizza rolls, a chicken sandwich, stuffing, s'mores poptarts, and now a plate of french fries. Fuck you guys it's my day off work and I hate the world and this is delicious
isntdaveone 23rd-Feb-2013 06:27 am (UTC)
your toilet has my deepest sympathies.

:(
mistyraven 23rd-Feb-2013 06:31 am (UTC)
Hopefully the guys in your icon eat better than I do

except for what the guy is actually eating in your icon

but ykwim
skonka 23rd-Feb-2013 06:28 am (UTC)
[Obama bounce]

I had pizza, two Baileys coffees, a half bottle of Mays sparkly shit and about 4 Tunnocks. Feeling for another coffee right now
brucelynn 23rd-Feb-2013 06:29 am (UTC)
YOLO

agentnever 23rd-Feb-2013 06:26 am (UTC)
My diet is to not eat when I'm not hungry, not eat late at night, and not eat fast food. Simple as that.
skonka 23rd-Feb-2013 06:29 am (UTC)
Sounds like suicide
pixiegerms 23rd-Feb-2013 06:30 am (UTC)
how is it working for. unless this is sarcasm in which case carry on.
fatbom 23rd-Feb-2013 06:35 am (UTC)
same lol it's not a big deal. that's how it should be done.
kurtvonnegut 23rd-Feb-2013 06:44 am (UTC)
it's easy when ur in the habit of doing that but they're tough habits to change into so it's not THAT simple even tho it's what works
agentnever 23rd-Feb-2013 06:46 am (UTC)
Oh yeah I didn't mean like it's simple to do but it's not complicated like "Oh I cut this this and this out and I can only have so much of this and I use these pills, etc"
moonlight_vlora 23rd-Feb-2013 07:02 pm (UTC)
Same.. but if I get hungry in the afternoon I eat a fruit
