Weight loss isn’t just calories in vs calories out. The body fights back by slowing metabolism and increasing hunger to defend its natural set point.

The weight set point theory, metabolic adaptation, leptin resistance, and ultra-processed foods. The science of obesity is moving very fast. #obesity #WODEurope #WeightSetPoint #MetabolicAdaptation #LeptinResistance #UltraProcessedFoods #ScienceOfObesity #ObesityResearch

Feel the burn: the science of boosting your metabolism.
Proud to see this article featuring my views on #weightsetpoint featured in @thetimes today following my interview with Jennie Agg.

The #weightsetpoint is dependent upon multiple factors. The science is NOT simply energy in = energy out. Our bodies are complex and #obesity occurs for complex reasons.

From the studies of Lee Kaplan MD at MGH Harvard, we have learned that each individual has an inherent #weightsetpoint where their body is most comfortable.

I found Lee Kaplan MD! ...and have discovered why he may not have answered his email. See Dr. Kaplan at ASMBSCT on January 24 at Foxwoods (No, not Amsterdam, Connecticut, USA) Learn more about our bodies’ innate #weightsetpoint from the world’s master #obesity @ASMBSCT1 @asmbs

Well done Paul RT @ObesityAPPG: Wonderful to hear from Paul Chesworth about his experiences of living with obesity #InternationalConfObesity

#BariatricSurgery alters #weightsetpoint - For instance: #gastricsleeve causes weightloss by 1. Reducing stomach size 2. Decreasing basal and stimulated #Ghrelin levels 3. Altering bile levels in the blood 4. Altering the diversity and type of #microbiota in the #microbiome (1)

This is a #naturalthing and when your body finds it, #eating becomes more #natural. You can't win against #biology and #genetics. #acceptit #harshreality #bodyimage #selfacceptance #weightsetpoint #edrecovery #mealplan #balance #nutrition #dietician #exchanges

Learning about LPL and energy regulation from Dr Robert Eckel. When at a reduced weight state, our bodies are more than excited to store fat #weightsetpoint @CleClinicMD @PSchauerMD @ConscienHealth @ObesitySociety @asmbs

#bariatricsurgery alters the #weightsetpoint rapidly and there is some evidence that a sustained diet change over many years may as well but the process is much slower

Dr. Lee Kaplan has advocated, lectured and even preached to the scientific community about the the #weightsetpoint and he has been met with interest and fascination but the “established community” has yet to make changes based upon the negative physiologic effects of environment

#bariatricsurgery alters human physiology and changes the human #weightsetpoint, a concept that few believe, few understand and the current political, insurance industry and most laymen choose to deny.

The fascinating evidence behind the #weightsetpoint theory is largely backed by evidence from the results of human physiology alterations that occur as a result of #bariatricsurgery.

There may be negative changes to the #weightsetpoint such as medications that cause #weightgain by effecting human physiology. These medications include but are not limited to: #insulin #corricosteroids #gabapentin #lyrica #antidepressants #betablockers among others

The human #weightsetpoint remains the same for each given individual UNLESS that individual’s physiology is altered.

Like our bodies have a set point for temperature and try to maintain 98.6 degrees whether we step into intense heat or bitter cold, so do our bodies have an innate #weightsetpoint.
