RESEARCH
LOSEBiG SPRAY
The research on the use, safety and efficacy of its ingredients is extensive and published in authoritative journals, while in 2024 a large clinical study on LOSEBiG SPAY will be completed in Greece by the HELLENIC DIATROPHOLOGICAL AGENCY – EL.D.E. under the auspices of Dr. Dimitris Grigorakis, from which impressive results are expected.

Can the flavours of LOSEBiG SPRAY contribute to weight loss?
SENSORY SATURATION
There are studies looking at how flavours can affect weight loss. For example, eating bitter foods, such as coffee or bitter vegetables, can help reduce appetite and increase metabolism. Also, the taste of umami, found in foods such as meat, mushrooms and cheese, can increase feelings of satiety, helping to control calorie intake.
Some studies have shown that aromas, such as the smell of peppermint or vanilla, can reduce hunger and help with weight loss. Fragrances cause salivation, which in turn causes insulin to be released from the pancreas and digestive fluids to flow.
It turns out that the pleasure and reward system in our brain is also activated by smell. This activation helps control our food intake. When we smell a particular food, this area of the brain is activated and lets us know that we have already or are about to consume a particular product.
When it has been triggered enough, a message is sent to let us know that we need to stop eating whatever triggered it. This phenomenon is called “aesthetic saturation”.
It is important to note that a balanced diet and regular exercise are the main factors for weight loss. Flavours can play a supporting role, but they are not a substitute for the basic principles of healthy eating and physical activity.

Grapefruit, along with mint, banana and green apple, are some of the ideal flavours suggested by scientists.
OTHER RESEARCH
Similar research conducted at the Human Neuro-Sensory Laboratory in Washington, D.C., revealed that among 80 overweight people motivated to lose weight, those who inhaled specially designed perfumes lost 19 kilos over four months. The control group who inhaled placebo scents lost, on average, four kilos.
It’s not clear what this actually means, but the researchers speculate that a higher sense of smell may play a more active role in triggering food intake among heavier people.

SMELL & WEIGHT LOSS
In 2019, the Journal of Marketing Research published a study where food manufacturers filled a cafeteria and several supermarkets with the smell of something delectable (some were pizza smells, some were cookies, some were fresh bread). The idea was that they were trying to get their customers to buy MORE of these types of products, making them crave whatever they were pumping out of the vents. However – the exact opposite happened. This actually led to people buying healthier products than normal.
The trick seems to be the time they were exposed to the smell. For subjects exposed for more than two minutes, the desire to consume what they smelled decreased. Furthermore, the longer they were exposed, the longer they had to process the idea of consuming that product and the consequences of doing so. Essentially, this means that exposure to certain food flavors can actually REJECT us for that particular food!
In other studies, scientists tried to increase the intensity of the smell of a particular food to see what would happen and people actually took smaller bites of that food! If the scent was stronger, people stuffed themselves with less. In another study, scientists had dinner guests wear nasal strips that widened their nasal cavities allowing more smells to come out than stronger ones -or- dinner guests were given a strip of placebo that did nothing to their normal nasal cavity. The people who wore the nasal strips consumed 61% less food than those who wore the placebo strip.
There have been other studies comparing people’s sense of smell to their BMI, and people with better smell also had consistently lower BMI (Body Mass Index). Now… this could be attributed to genetics, but it could also be attributed to this sensory satiation factor. The cause was not determined… just found the relationship between the two.
