[quote=Anonymous][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 helps prevent hunger.

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.

DP but just adding to this that people can become resistant to leptin as well. Many overweight people produce tons of leptin but it doesn't work as well anymore, similar to how they produce tons of insulin but it doesn't work as well anymore. [/quote]
