[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no such thing, which is why the vast majority who lose weight, and doesn't matter if it's WW, Jenny Craig, Noom, Optifast or the new injectable meds, gain the weight back[/quote]

Are you’d saying there’s no such thing as a set point weight or no such thing as resetting it?[/quote]

I was told in a college class by a anesthesiology professor that it took 6 months to reset a set point.

But later told there's no such thing as resetting it because fat cells never die, they just shrink unless surgically removed.[/quote]

So does that mean liposuction would make you feel less hungry??[/quote]

In theory, yes. In practice, no -- because it wouldn't remove enough cells to affect this. [/quote]

So you're saying fat cells are what make you hungry??[/quote]

Isn't that what fairly recent science shows? Recent as in several years, but still not that old.[/quote]

IDK. I haven't heard this theory before. It sounds suspect. Perhaps the amount of fat cells present play a role; but I'm not buying the assertion that they themselves cause hunger.[/quote]

Leptin’s main function is to help your body maintain its weight. Leptin regulates the long-term balance between your body’s food intake and energy use. Leptin helps prevent hunger. It manages your energy balance so your body doesn’t trigger a hunger response when it doesn’t need energy (calories).

Leptin mainly acts on your hypothalamus (a part of your brain) to regulate hunger and energy balance. But you have leptin receptors in other areas of your body.

This hormone doesn’t affect your hunger levels and food intake from meal to meal. Instead, it acts to alter food intake and control energy usage over a long time to help maintain your weight.

Leptin has a more profound effect when you lose weight. As your body fat decreases, your leptin levels decrease. This signals your body to think that it’s starving. So, you may feel intense hunger and cravings, which can lead to overeating. This can make it difficult to continue losing weight.

Your white adipose tissue (body fat) makes and releases leptin. White adipose tissue is the main type of fat in your body.

Because leptin comes from fat cells, the amount of leptin in your blood is directly related to the amount of adipose tissue in your body. In other words, the less body fat, the less leptin you have. The more body fat, the more leptin you have.
