This is a realistic time frame to see good Joseph C. Dietz, PhD weight loss results. The clinical studies were conducted PACIFIC MOUNTAIN CENTRAL EASTERN over an eight week period. Once you have achieved your TIME ZONE TIME ZONE TIME ZONE TIME ZONE desired weight loss, we recommend PatentLEAN to help maintain your new weight. Question: Will I have to starve myself while using PatentLEAN? Answer: Dr. Dietz Absolutely not. We actually recommend 5 balanced, reduced calorie meals a day. What most of us don’t understand is that diets by themselves often stall our metabolism. The body goes into a physical response of being starved and over time resists losing more weight as a defense mechanism. It is not uncommon to see Resting Metabolism drop by 3% or more as a result of this response. But the participants in one double blind clinical study who took PatentLEAN on a calorie restricted diet without exercise actually experienced a 5.3% increase to their resting metab- olism 2 . That is why it can be important to continue taking PatentLEAN even if you slip off your diet for a while. It may help combat the effects of decreased metabolism from past Yo-Yo dieting. Question: What about exercise? Answer: Dr. Zenk Even a simple exercise plan with PatentLEAN is the most effective way to keep the body from going into a physical response to being starved. In clinical studies of PatentLEAN participants diet included one thousand eight hundred calories and one hundred eighty minutes exer- cise per week including warm up and cool down, so consult your physician to develop your program.
