P. 19
As my metabolism slowed down
and my weight hit a standstill...
I always thought I was doing
something wrong… But it turns
out…
My body just wanted to get back
to it's "set point", which for me
was WAY more than I wanted to
weigh.
I felt cursed because my "set
point" was so high…
I couldn't get below 275 pounds
for the life of me.
After Being So Embarrassed...
When I couldn't êt in the booth at the restaurant with my friends…
I couldn't just accept that I'd be stuck at this weight for the rest of my
life…
And I kept thinking, if everyone has their own "set point," then why is it
so easy to gain weight, yet so hard to lose it?
As I kept pouring through the research, it turns out that as a survival
mechanism…
The body êghts much harder to prevent
[2]
weight loss than weight gain ...
This is known within the scientiêc community as "asymmetric
[3]
biological control" ...
