[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think set points are real. I’ve never been overweight, but the few times I have intentionally lost weight (after pregnancies), it was hard until I maintained for a few months. It’s hard to lose 20 pounds but once you are there for a while, your body and appetite make it the “new normal” and it’s hard to gain. The problem is that most people who diet don’t maintain their low weight long enough for their body to recalibrate, so they gain back everything right away. [/quote] There’s actually something to this. There’s some doctor whose prescribed method of weight loss is achingly slow and builds in plateaus so that the body learns not to defend to the higher set point. But as someone who does not share OP’s thinness or ability to remain there, it is already achingly hard to change one’s habits and [i]then[/i] to have so little feedback to know that you’re doing it right.
