"I've tried nearly every diet out there, and none of them worked for me. If you tell me I can't eat something, Ill obsess over it and end up overeating," said Spencer. "SENSA® is the perfect tool for me to be the healthiest I can be, without having to drastically change my lifestyle.  I just shake it on my food to help me eat less and lose weight, and more importantly, I feel great and am a healthier me."

Spencer admits that traditional diets don't work for her. SENSA® has enabled her to finally gain control of her weight by helping her eat less and learn proper portion control. Spencer's motivation to lose weight is due to her desire to become healthier, rather than to conform to the entertainment industry's standards of beauty. She seeks to be a role model to women of all shapes and sizes.

"Octavia has chosen to use SENSA® as a tool to help her start her journey toward a healthier lifestyle," said Kristin Chadwick, President of SENSA® Products. "As someone who has struggled with her weight, we believe Octavia's story is one that resonates with many people and will hopefully inspire others to take the first step toward a healthier life."

Also debuting this week are television ads featuring Spencer and her closest friends.  In Spencer's ads, titled, "It Changed My Life, Not My Lifestyle," she states how she has found a friend in SENSA® because it encourages and supports her to eat less without having to drastically change her lifestyle.

A veteran character actress and one of Hollywood's most sought-after talents, Spencer has become a familiar fixture on both television and the silver screen.  She has held almost 100 roles across both mediums.  Spencer's critically acclaimed performance as Minny in DreamWork's feature film, "The Help" won her the 2012 Academy Award, BAFTA Award, Golden Globe Award, SAG Award, and Broadcast Critic's Choice Award, among numerous other honors.  She was also featured in "Fruitvale," which won the grand jury prize and audience award for best dramatic American film at this year's Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
