Why do the short-term solutions lose their battle against weight set point?


A glimpse
of the previous article must have purged you of all the wrong notions you had about the short-term solutions. The reason why most of the weight loss methods are considered short-term is because they work temporarily. Once you stop taking the ‘magic pill’ or cease to cleanse your system, the lost pounds come back with a vengeance. Also it is almost impossible to stick to these methods for a long time, since they defy nutrition which is necessary for our body.

But why do these methods fail? One of the simplest mechanisms of our body, which has been ignored by most of the weight-loss propagators, is the weight set point. Researchers have found that the human body may have a genetically determined set-point weight that is controlled by metabolic hormones and fat cell enzymes. And any number of attempts to work against the weight set point may not succeed, resulting in a failure of the weight loss methods. The key strategy to successful long term weight loss is working in a supportive environment with comprehensive proven methods that enable your complex body’s weight set point to reset to a new level.
