Weight Loss Expectations

All too often it’s said, “you didn’t gain it overnight, so don’t expect to lose it overnight.” While that may be true, it’s sometimes hard to accept. We all want quick results. But when it comes to losing weight, patience really is a virtue–losing weight gradually (one to two pounds per week), while changing your eating habits, gives you a much better chance of keeping it off.

Every person will respond differently to REDACT when used as part of a comprehensive weight-loss program. You may be able to lose four or more pounds of body weight in the first month you take REDACT. If you find that you do not lose at least four pounds during the first month, you should notify your doctor so he or she can re-evaluate your therapy. Your doctor may wish to change your dose of REDACT.

Most people who lose weight on REDACT plus diet and exercise lose it in the first six months of treatment. A scientific study that lasted two years showed that over 40% of the people who lost weight in the first six months and remained on REDACT therapy plus diet and exercise maintained their weight loss.

Most importantly though, be patient. Remember when you lose weight quickly, you often gain it back. Losing weight slowly, while changing your eating habits, gives you a much better chance of keeping it off.
