The Weight “Set Point” Theory
If you’ve ever been on a diet and hit a weight loss “plateau”, eventually regained all the weight you lost or feel like your body fought your dieting efforts, the set point theory will help you understand why! It turns out that our bodies know exactly what they’re doing when they resist weight loss – the set point theory hypothesizes that every human has a weight range that their body functions best at. Trying to push your body below its lowest set point range is met with great resistance. Join us today as we discuss the evidence for the set point theory and its implications for intuitive eating, dieting and pursuing health no matter your current size!
