I would say that Jesus did not lose His divine attributes, but voluntarily limited or veiled them in order to truly and fully experience human existence. For example, the Bible indicates occasions when he was hungry (Matthew 4:2), tired (Matthew 8:24; Mark 4:38; Luke 8:23), and physically in only one place at any given time. He also did not override human free will by demanding the worship and obedience to which He was entitled as God. Most important for human salvation, He voluntarily allowed His subjection to His undeserved suffering and death on humanity's behalf. Paul summarizes this by saying that Jesus "made Himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant." (Philippians 2:7)
