The Setpoint Diet Book: The Best Way to End Yo-Yo Dieting

Yo-yo dieting, also called weight cycling, is a situation wherein you lose weight and regain it over and over again. It is a common problem. Statistics show that approximately 97% of dieters regain every pound of the weight they lost — and then some — within three years. But we’re not telling you something you probably don’t already know.

If you’re like most people who struggle with their weight, you’ve been on a half dozen or more diets in the past several years. Oh, you lost weight on each diet, sometimes a lot of weight. But you were hungry, irritable, and just plain miserable the entire time you were on the diet. Though you reduce your calorie intake by 500 calories per day — which should have guaranteed you a loss of 1 pound per week, according to the calorie-deficit theory of weight loss — you were lucky to lose a half a pound. Some weeks, you didn’t lose anything or worse….you even gained a couple of pounds.

After a few months of such misery and disappointment, you went off the diet and started eating “normal” meals again. And what happened? That’s right. You started gaining the weight back fairly quickly. In just a few months, you had gained all the weight back plus an additional few pounds. You were worse off than before you started the diet. In fact, it would have been better if you had never gone on that starvation diet in the first place. That’s because starvation dieting, itself, leads to yo-yo dieting.

The Setpoint Diet is the best way to end yo-yo dieting because it addresses the underlying cause of weight gain — which has nothing to do with the quantity of calories you consume! Rather, it has everything to do with your setpoint weight.

Yo Yo Dieting: Setpoint Weight, Starvation Dieting, and The Setpoint Diet Book

Setpoint weight is that level of stored fat the body works to maintain by regulating your appetite and metabolism through your hormones, genes, and brain — regardless of the quantity of calories you take in or exercise off.

You see, your body is a finely tuned biological machine that regulates your weight the same way it regulates your blood glucose levels, your body temperature, your blood pressure, and so much more. This is how it regulates your weight: your brain, digestive system, and hormones talk to each other through a variety of feedback loops to synchronize the activities that automatically maintain body fat at a specific level (setpoint weight).

It works similarly to the thermostat in your home. For instance, the thermostat “tells” your heating or air conditioning system not only what the temperature inside your home is, but also what it should be. It instructs the HVAC system to make the temperature whatever it “thinks” it should be at. Similarly, your setpoint stimulates or suppresses your appetite and raises or lowers your metabolism in response to how much fat it “thinks” you should store.

Just as the HVAC’s job is to obey, without question, the instructions of the thermostat, your body obeys the instructions of your setpoint. This is why starvation dieting will never bring permanent weight-loss results and why it leads to yo-yo dieting.

As you’ll learn in The Setpoint Diet book, you will lose weight by starvation dieting. But the body fights back. When you start to cut calories, your body’s metabolic alarm goes off, signaling your body that you are not consuming as many calories as usual. In response, your body demands more food and starts burning fewer calories. Appetite goes up, calorie burn goes down. It does everything it can to keep you near your setpoint weight.

Lowering the Setpoint Weight: Key to Permanent Weight Loss

Every frustrated dieter knows, deep down, that cutting calories (starvation dieting) doesn’t work for long-term weight loss. They know it causes them to be heavier in the long run. Yet, they keep trying various starvation-type diets hoping that this time, it will finally work.

Why?

There are many reasons. They might feel they weren’t doing it correctly, or that this diet wasn’t the right one for them. Or they just didn’t have enough willpower, or they didn’t stick with it long enough.

But the biggest reason people keep trying various starvation diets without ultimate success is that they don’t have any other method to replace it with. They’ve been taught that quantity of calories is the most important factor in weight maintenance and weight loss and that they must starve their bodies to force it to burn fat.

Almost every traditional diet is based on this calorie-deficit theory of weight loss, and that’s precisely the problem. You see, the calorie-deficit theory of weight loss is incorrect in the way it is being taught and practiced.

Quantity Vs. Quality of Calories

The calorie-deficit theory of weight loss treats all calories the same. It “says” it doesn’t matter what you eat as long as you do not consume more than a certain number of calories per day or week. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Research shows that calories vary greatly in their effects on the body depending upon the sources from which they come. The body quickly digests refined carbs, for instance, and turns them into glucose. This glucose is then rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, causing a rapid rise in blood glucose levels. The pancreas releases the hormone insulin to take the glucose into your cells.

Consuming a large amount of refined carbs at once — such as a big plate of pasta and two slices of garlic bread — causes a large amount of glucose to enter the bloodstream. Insulin must clear it from your bloodstream before it reaches toxic levels, so it sends most of this glucose straight to your fat cells.

Compare this to what happens when you consume a plate of non-starchy vegetables and a piece of steak. Though vegetables are also carbs, they contain a magic ingredient — fiber. This fiber slows digestion and glucose absorption. Just a little glucose at a time is secreted into the bloodstream, which insulin can easily take to the non-fat cells of the body.

Now let’s discuss this high-protein steak. It takes more calories for your body to digest protein than it does to digest fat or carbohydrate. Plus, protein is almost impossible for your body to store as fat.

So, think about it for a minute. Here’s a person eating a large plate of pasta with two slices of garlic bread. Another person is eating the non-starchy vegetables and steak. Which of the two people will likely gain more weight than the other one? The veggie/steak eater, of course.

Quality of Calories and Setpoint Weight

Not surprisingly, one of the main causes of an elevated setpoint weight is consuming poor-quality calories, such as highly processed foods, starchy carbs, and sugars. Research shows overconsumption of poor-quality calorie calories causes hormonal clogs, neurological inflammation, and gut dysbiosis, which leads to an elevated setpoint weight.

Hormonal Clog

When you have a hormonal clog, your brain no longer receives correct signals from your hormones that normally allow you to burn body fat automatically. You see, the hypothalamus in your brain is responsible for regulating the metabolism. To do this job, it relies on signals from hormones, primarily leptin and insulin, to give it regular status updates on your fat levels.

A poor quality diet jams the signals leptin and insulin try to send the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus can no longer automatically balance calories in with calories out. Instead of working to burn excess fat, the hypothalamus now works to hold onto this fat.

Neurological Inflammation

Neurological inflammation is a contributing factor to a hormonal clog. If the hypothalamus becomes inflamed, it cannot receive correct signals from your hormones. The result is an elevated setpoint weight and weight gain.

Inflammation, it must be stated, is not always a bad thing. It is a necessary function of the immune system. It only becomes dangerous if it continues too long, a condition called “chronic inflammation.” Research shows chronic inflammation to be the underlying cause of many serious health problems.

But inflammation — chronic or otherwise — is not supposed to occur in the brain. The blood-brain barrier is supposed to keep bacteria, toxins, and other foreign invaders out of its fragile environment. When the blood-brain barrier is compromised, however, it becomes “leaky,” allowing these foreign invaders passage into the brain’s environment, causing inflammation.

Gut Dysbiosis

Though your body is composed of an estimated 100 trillion cells, only about 10% of them are human. And most of them live in your digestive system.

The bacteria in the gut have a tremendous effect on your setpoint weight. These gut bacteria extract calories from the foods you eat, store calories for later use as body fat, and much more. They can also influence the development of neurological inflammation.

Good bacteria that line your digestive tracts serve as a barrier against bad bacteria, keeping the bad bacteria from entering your bloodstream and causing inflammation throughout the body. If the balance between good bacteria and bad bacteria shifts, a condition called gut dysbiosis, the bad bacteria can damage your stomach lining and elevate your setpoint weight.

You see, The Setpoint Diet book and the 21-Day Challenge will help you finally win the battle with your weight.

What’s so Special about The Setpoint Diet Book and the 21-Day Challenge?

The Setpoint Diet book, written by New York Times bestselling author and founder of SANE Solution, Jonathan Bailor, is NOT a typical diet book. It does not repeat old beliefs or myths about dieting and weight loss. Rather, the information you’ll find in The Setpoint Diet book is based on more than 15 years of verifiable research. This information comes from hundreds of peer-reviewed clinical research studies and medical journals.

In writing The Setpoint Diet book, Jonathan left nothing to chance. Every fact is backed up by solid metabolic science. This research is so solid that the plan included in The Setpoint Diet book is the only plan endorsed by top doctors at the Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins, the Cleveland Clinic, the Mayo Clinic, and UCLA.

The Setpoint Diet book eating plan has not only been proven clinically to unclog hormones, brain, and digestion, but more than 100,000 people can attest to its success in lowering their setpoint weight and reversing many health issues. These individuals enjoyed effortless and now permanent weight loss — thanks to the dietary and lifestyle upgrades you’ll discover in The Setpoint Diet book.

You can achieve the permanent weight loss results you desire just by following the dietary and lifestyle guidelines detailed in The Setpoint Diet book. However, the 21-Day Challenge portion of the book is useful and valuable because it helps you become quickly accustomed to living SANEly. The 21-Day Challenge protocol helps lower your setpoint weight as quickly, safely, and easily as possible. And guess what? You’ll drop those pounds without calorie counting, deprivation, or hunger.

We’ll review some of the main principles of the 21-Day Challenge later. But first, let’s discuss some of the reasons your previous dieting efforts did not work.

Lose Weight Permanently? Why Starvation Dieting Doesn’t Work

If you’ve struggled with your weight, you undoubtedly have some experience with starvation dieting. This doesn’t mean you went without food for a period of time. Rather, starvation dieting simply means that you deprive your body of an adequate number of calories. Calories are units of energy. Your organs, tissues — and every cell of your body — needs a certain minimum amount of energy (calories) to function properly.

Any diet requiring you to consciously cut calories while disregarding calorie quality is a starvation-type diet. These diets incorporate the calorie-deficit theory of weight loss, a theory that is incorrect, at least in the way it is being practiced.

It does appear to work, however. As you have probably discovered, you will lose weight on a starvation diet. But your body fights back against what it sees as literal starvation. It drives your hunger up and your metabolism down. It inhibits fat burning and sends most of the calories you consume to your fat cells. (That’s because having enough body fat is essential to your survival.)

When you finally go off the diet and start eating normally again, you gain the weight back due to the lowered metabolism — and lowered setpoint weight — caused by the starvation diet. The only way to keep the weight off after a starvation diet is to continue eating a similarly low amount of calories. But even then, you’d have to eat a smaller and smaller number of calories with each subsequent year to maintain that weight loss. This is completely unsustainable.

The only way to lose weight permanently is to lower your setpoint weight. Once you lower your setpoint weight, your body will fight to keep you from gaining weight in the same way as it now fights to keep you from losing weight.

Setpoint Weight Always Wins

You’ve been told your entire life that calories are the most important thing to weight loss and weight maintenance. You’ve been told that eating less and exercising more is the key to winning your weight loss battles. But that advice has worked for very few people — and that’s because calories are not the most important thing to weight loss/maintenance. Setpoint weight is the main factor in being able to lose weight long term.

So What Is Setpoint Weight and How is it Connected to Obesity?

The human body is a beautifully complex biological machine. Your brain, your digestive system, and your hormones all work together through a highly coordinated system to help stabilize your body weight —the same way they automatically stabilize your body temperature and blood pressure.

They talk to one another through various feedback loops to synchronize the activities that automatically maintain body fat at a specific level, otherwise known as your setpoint weight.

Think of the biological feedback system that establishes your setpoint like the thermostat in your house. Thanks to the thermostat, your heating or air-conditioning system respond to the weather outside and keep your home at whatever temperature the thermostat “thinks” it should be at. Similarly, your setpoint stimulates or suppresses your appetite and raises or lowers metabolism in response to how much fat it “thinks” you should store.

This is why starvation dieting works against you. Your body fights against anything that takes you too far away from your setpoint weight. Working with your setpoint weight instead of against it — as you’ll learn in The Setpoint Diet book — is an empowering way of eating and living that will unlock the naturally slim and healthy person inside you. Eventually, you will burn calories like a naturally thin person.

Factors that Determine Setpoint Weight

There are three factors that determine setpoint weight: brain, gut, and hormones.

Brain

The hypothalamus in the brain regulates your metabolism, balancing calories in with calories out so that you never become too fat or too thin. The hormones leptin and insulin regulate the hypothalamus. (These hormones regulate appetite and eating.)  Both of these hormones send signals to the hypothalamus regarding the status of your fat stores. A healthy brain receives these signals correctly so that when calorie intake increases your body simply burns more calories.

However, if the hypothalamus becomes inflamed (neurological inflammation) it cannot receive these signals from the hormones. Instead of working to keep you naturally slim, your hypothalamus and hormones instead work to hold on to extra fat, no matter how hard you try to lose the weight.

Digestive System

The human body is composed of an estimated 100 trillion cells, only 10% of which are human. The rest of these cells, some 90%, are bacterial — most of which live in your digestive system. Once thought to just affect digestion, gut bacteria has been found to affect the immune system, and thus may play a role in the development of every disease.

As concerns weight issues, bacteria residing in your gut and digestive tract exert a major influence on your setpoint weight. Collectively called “gut microbiota,” these bacteria are responsible for a variety of tasks. For instance, they help extract calories from the foods you eat. They also store calories for later use as body fat. Some of these bacteria even have an impact on neurological inflammation and whether or not you become obese.

Research shows that overweight individuals have a different mix of gut bacteria than “normal” weight individuals, too. For instance, bacteria from the Firmicutes family produce a higher setpoint while bacteria from the Bacteroidetes family produce a lower setpoint. What does this mean? In simple terms, data suggests people who are overweight or obese have a significantly higher level of Firmicutes and lower level of Bacteroidetes compared to people of “normal” weight.

In essence, then, the tendency toward a higher setpoint weight — and obesity — could well begin with your gut bacteria. Science suggests that an imbalance of “good” and “bad” gut bacteria, a condition called gut dysbiosis, could well be the cause of weight gain and obesity.

Hormones

Released by the endocrine glands, hormones are chemical messengers that travel through the bloodstream to tissues and organs. They control most of the body’s major system, including the metabolism.

If you’ve had trouble losing weight and keeping it off, a “hormonal clog” could be to blame. When you have a hormonal clog, your brain can no longer receive correct signals from your hormones that would otherwise enable you to burn body fat automatically. This elevates your setpoint weight — and keeps it elevated.

An easy way to understand how this hormonal clog elevates your setpoint weight is to think about your body as functioning like a sink. When a sink is working correctly, the more water you pour in, the more water drains out. This properly working sink is balancing the water level at a low level. Think of a working sink, then, as having a low setpoint.

A hormonally healthy body works similarly, doing everything it can to automatically prevent excess body fat from accumulating. A healthy body, like a “healthy” sink, responds to more in with more out, and to less in with less out.

What Causes a Clog?

The only reason water builds up in sinks and fat builds up in bodies is that they have become clogged by having the wrong quality of things put into them. Once you have a clog, though, any amount of water IN will cause the water level to rise and stay high. Now you have a sink with an elevated setpoint.

You can think of your body in the same way. When you put poor quality food into it, your body becomes hormonally clogged, causing it to automatically balance you out at an elevated level of body fat. The easiest, most efficient way to deal with this problem is not to cut calories but to remove the hormonal clog. Once you remove the clog, your body will then balance you out at a lower setpoint weight.

How the Setpoint Diet Book Helps You Lower Your Setpoint Weight

The main causes of neurological inflammation, gut dysbiosis, and hormonal dysregulation — that lead to an elevated setpoint weight — are poor-quality diet, stress, and sleep deprivation. The Setpoint Diet book address all of these causes, providing scientifically proven strategies that will improve or eliminate these issues.

Here are some important strategies you can use today to lower your setpoint weight. The Setpoint Diet book details these strategies, and many more!
