Clinical experience with real patients suggest that within hours of consuming the first dose an individual can sense a reduction in their appetite and a decrease in their desire for snacking. Attenuate's effect on the sensation of hunger, almost always present within the first 24 hours, also causes a decrease in their desire to eat and an increased ability to turn away from troubling and tempting foods and snacks. With regards to weight loss, variables such as the consistency of your diet, level of activity and your level of motivation will come into play as you use the product. Losing weight and being happy with your body is a journey. Remember to use Attenuate as directed on the label along with a diet and exercise program.
