If you changed your diet to make yourself underweight, then I suppose you could make a new 'natural' body setpoint there. Would take a while though and might not be the best thing as being unnaturally slim can unhealthy too. Quote:

It can't be that because I was 9st 5 on my 18th, that's my setpoint though I do appear to be easily able to maintain 9st 5 (up until I pigged out for my entire birthday week and have shot up to 10st )Hmm, confused. I did seem to have a set point around 10st and around 9st 5, though obviously I don't know if I did the first time around, because I wan't bothered about my weight then! ![]() May try to get back to 9st 5 ![]() x

When I say 'manipulated' your diet (way of eating), I don't mean necessarily 'you'. So many other things come into play. Your setpoint may influence your decision about what to eat and when, but for many years you may not have had a lot of choice over these things. Head rules first. For example, out with friends, wanting to be one of the crowd= possibly eating more than your hormones are telling you ![]() Family social times when you may have been encouraged to eat more than your body wanted etc The setpoint is only one factor amongst many. You can influence your setpoint up and down to a certain extent, but left alone to its own devices, it'll be about 18 when your setpoint is set for adulthood (plus the lowering as you get older) | |

I will try not to let it get me down, the thought that I will forever have to watch what I eat... but I guess I already knew that. I just hope it does get easier... rightnow I can see myself still making all sorts of wrong choices, even if I know why I might be making them and that they are wrong. Hopefully the "angel" onm y shoulder will win out when I go into RTM though, and beat down the "devil's" cries to gorge on bad food...

Trouble is, it's so hard to test. How much of a persons control over food after a few years is down to resetting of leptin and various other hormones, or new habits, lifestyle etc? I have talked to a number of very qualified experts and opinions differ as to how much can be put down to a successful maintainers new accepted weight, or whether they've just got a handle on the whole maintenance thing....or a mix of both. There has been some talk recently of leptin injections being available for people who had got to healthy weight after losing a lot, to help them maintain. For a long time scientists were looking at giving these injections to help people lose the weight in the first place, but it doesn't work well as overweight people can become resistant to the leptin. So, new talk of hope for maintainers. That would be wonderful, but I don't think it will happen in my lifetime. | |

Rep Power: 135 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Height: 5' 4" Start Date: Jan 08 Start Weight: 259lb Goal Weight: 140lb BMI Information: | I think, the whole body resetting point is ... well probably down to the individual. Personally, I STILL can't tell whether I'm full or not so I have had to LEARN to consciously LOOK at my portion on the plate and assess whether it's too much and to keep track of how much I eat when I'm at one of those 'buffet' parties. Your stomach shrinks a bit though after a long diet - which helps a bit with the 'can't physically stuff any more in' bit... I did find that weight point where everything felt 'right' at about 9st, but I know I have that stupid gene which makes me seek food ALL the damn time for no real reason; which prehistorically would have been the one to prepare me for times of famine...! My dad is the same, he yo-yo diets with it and doesn't let it get too bad anymore. Even after nearly 3 years of LL, calorie counting, maintenance etc, I still feel hungry and full at the same time, which has never changed, so I have to always think about what and how much I eat on a very conscious level. ... I do really wish I had that magical thing that stops me eating any more than I have to! You live and you learn though, eh... |
