Many people have long held the mistaken belief that everybody has a particular fat point where their body realizes that this is the level of fat that is normal to that particular person.
The body’s fat point is determined from the individual’s lifestyle.
While there are various different body types that are determined by our genes the percentage of fat that we carry around in our body is not due to the genes that we have inherited. It is due to the food that we have been eating from the beginning of our life to the stage where we are at presently.
For those of you who have been overweight for an extended period and have kept a constant percentage of fat, this will be your fat point. It will alter in direct response to the kind of lifestyle you lead everyday.
Remaining at a steady fat point for a number of years will see your body adjust accordingly. It will attempt to maintain a workable equilibrium and will develop the right amount of muscle tissues and capillaries. It will also adjust hormone levels.
It wasn’t genes that did it. It was you that determined your fat point. Your body only wants to keep things balanced.
Now your body will always be monitoring that fat point. Perhaps you decide to go on a crash diet course. Your body will see this as an attack on the nice status quo it has developed and it will try to correct the situation. Very often the body burns lean muscle to keep fat.
Unfortunately for many people they don’t like to accept the fact that it is not their genes or anything else that has resulted in their fat point being too high. They are comforted by fooling themselves that they cannot do anything about it.
The fact is that everyone is capable of lowering their fat point through changing their lifestyle. You need to build lean muscle tissue and increase your metabolism. Eating more healthily and exercising regularly will lower your fat point.
