Set Point

Many things can determine your Set Point which is the number on the scale that you weigh normally or around within a couple of pounds on a regular basis.  Your genetics and environment determine your set point. Use the R-K-O Method.

• R: Regular Reducing-Each day get plenty of exercise to reduce weight
• K: Keeping it off-Not getting enough exercise but not eat as much as planned or Exercise enough but eat more than planned
• O: Off- 0 days for “0ff” gaining weight because ate too much or did not exercise much
• Make sure the “R” days outnumber the “K” days and “K” days outnumber the “O” days

• A slow gradual weight gain could trick your body into thinking your set point is a lot higher than it should be
• Not getting enough exercise will lead you to a higher set point
• Weigh daily so you can achieve your ultimate weight goal
• Work with your body to gradually lose weight slowly
• 10% body weight loss is what you can lose before your body fights back
• Fight hard to maintain that weight loss so your body sees it as your new set point
