I did not read the TED article, but I went from 140 pounds to 115 pounds over a 6 month period of time.  During that time I was exercising and eating clean...no junk for me.  I have kept the weight off for 3 years, and my body does not want to be back to 140. Even if I go to an all you can eat buffet, I can only eat so much.  My body lets me know when to stop.  I would have to physically binge on very high calorie and fat food go a long period of time to budge my weight.  I am always in a 5 pound range of my 115 pounds, so I do feel like my body has reset its ideal weight.[/quote]

I am not an obesity researcher, but I imagine that your body at 140 did not experience some of the metabolic changes that someone at 300 might have experienced. This is why PPs keep saying that what worked for one person might not work for another. Great work for you, though![/quote]

If you watch the video, you will see why this is working for you.  You are eating intuitively.  You retaught yourself how to do that.  It means you will be more likely to maintain your current weight because you are listening to your body's signals.  But it doesn't mean that your set point lowered.  You still have to eat less to maintain that weight than someone who never increased to 140 in the first place.   [/quote]
