Setpoint Weight & Weight Loss work synergistically in order to not only drop unwanted fat pounds, but also crucial to keeping it all off!
Simply put, counting calories is a reductive concept that completely ignores the complexities about how our bodies work.
As humans, we are these biological marvels capable of growing, learning, and changing in incredible ways.
From the outside, our bodies look so simple.
But on the inside, we discover a symphony of coordinated, co-dependent, interactive systems that work to keep us moving, breathing, thinking, eating, digesting, exploring, experiencing, and interpreting the world.
Setpoint Weight & Our Bodies
Do you really think that our bodies function on a system that is as simple as fuel-in-fuel-out?
Of course not!
But really, for as long as we have studied health and nutrition at SANESolution, we have simplified things down to basic formula.
And what have the results been?
They have been nothing short disastrous. All you have to do is look around you to see the evidence of this.
The obesity epidemic is at an all-time high. Heart disease, which is directly linked to obesity is the leading cause of death in America.
Cancer is the second leading cause of death.
Each of these mortality epidemics are closely linked to obesity.
According to current estimates by The World Cancer Research Fund, about 20% of all cancers diagnosed in the US are related to body fatness, physical inactivity, excess alcohol consumption, and poor nutrition.
It is important to note, all off these are related to increased cancer rates, however, body weight appears to have the strongest correlation.
Obesity has been clearly linked to increased rates of each of the following types of cancer:
Breast (in women past menopause)
Colon
Esophagus
Kidney
Pancreas
Obesity influences nearly every system in the body including inflammation, immune function, hormone production, insulin production, bacteria health (can someone say, patented postbiotics?) in our gut, and cell growth.
Through these systems, it elevates a person’s risk for cancer.

There’s a lot of noise out there when it comes to diet, fitness, and health. Count calories. Fat is bad. Force your body to go drill sergeant on you with a zillion crunches as soon as you wake up. Don’t eat white foods. Drink diet shakes all day long. Celebrities with flat abs eat these […]
“Moderate replacement of dietary carbohydrate with low-fat, high-protein foods in a diet containing a conventional level of fat significantly improved… cardiovascular risk profiles in healthy…subjects.”– B.M.

The set-point theory states that the body tries to maintain its weight within a preset range. But it’s more than just a theory; the existence of a body weight set-point has been proven in numerous studies. Our metabolism keeps us at our set point the same way it does everything else: hormones. The two most […]
Menopause and weight loss are terms that don’t often go together. There is a reason for that. Statistics show that 90 percent of women gain weight during menopause. But the good news is that menopausal weight gain is not inevitable, nor is the inability to lose weight after menopause. In fact, you can control menopausal […]
You might think that you know the best way to cut fat, but do you? It might surprise you that there’s more to cutting fat than cutting calories. And you don’t have to run a marathon to cut fat, either. (Although, when you eat SANE foods, you’ll probably feel like running a marathon!) But the […]
“The set-point theory of body weight regulation is based on a large body of empiric evidence.”– D.S. Weigle, University of Washington Our fat metabolism system automatically regulates our weight around a “set-point.” That set-point is why no matter how little we eat or how much we exercise, we generally end up weighing the same. […]
“Set-points are not fixed.” –R.E. Keesey, University of Wisconsin What is setpoint weight?

You can stray from your set-point weight temporarily by lowering the quantity of […]
