Adjusting your 'set point' - discussion
So what's your take on the body having a 'set point'.... Your genetic potential.... A genetically determined body fat and lean body mass level...
I really do believe this exists as after my cycles if i have a good amount of time off gear i always slowly creep back to where I was before.....
But what's your take on body fat set points specifically?
I know that there are some guys here who are currently trying to shift there set point but is this more mental.....
For example..... If your body fat set point is at around 14%, meaning you an easily maintain that without having to think too hard about it could you diet down to 7% and then work hard to maintain that for say 12 weeks.... Would your body fat set point have been reduced down to maybe 10%...
Or is this a mental thing.... By maintaining a low body fat percentage for an extended period while you try to 'adjust your set point' are you not just teaching/ training yourself to eat more consistently at target macro and do regular (if required) cardio..... Will this not just spill over into every day life after you stop the process of trying to adjust your set point... Meaning you'll be more likely to remain leaner because of what you know/do rather than what your body wants its set point to be...
Has anyone managed this successfully?
GB, can you share narks info on this if your aware of it.... I'm sure he is in the 'you can adjust your set point' camp
