Stitch & Kvetch

A moomintroll. First attempt at knitting a toy.

Me hand embroidering: no gods no masters just pretty colors

the set point is range of about 10 lbs where your body is in an energy balanced state, and it will fight to stay in that range. if you’re below it, you’ll gain easily; if you’re above it (in our culture this is rare except in certain weight specific sports) you’ll lose easily. 

so if for example i say that calories in excess of your energy needs would never go “straight to your thighs”, but would be burned off by processes like non-exercise activity thermogenesis, and you think “well i know from experience that if i eat more i gain weight”, you’re very likely under your body’s set point weight, and probably in an energy deficit. 

weight suppression can work in the short term, but in the long term all of your metabolic pathways will coordinate to pull your body back up to its set point range.
