What factors can effectively lower the setpoint so that the body feels comfortable at a reduced fat percentage?
What will be an ideal response?
Exercise, a diet high in complex carbohydrates, nicotine (tobacco use), and amphetamines affect the setpoint directly by lowering the fat thermostat. However, smoking and amphetamines are more destructive than extra fat weight, so they are not reasonable alternatives. A combination of exercise and a diet high in complex carbohydrates, adequate protein, and moderate amounts of healthy fats is the most practical and sensible way to lower the setpoint.
