Set point theory suggests that our bodies defend a set level of body fatness. Therefore if weight or fatness falls below this level, the individual is likely to experience increased hunger until they regain the weight. Unfortunately, it is not easy to develop a new, lower set point for body weight. Appetite for high-fat foods does not necessarily increase. Physical activity level is not affected by body weight in relation to set point.
