How Eating Protein Helps Lower Your Setpoint Weight

Are You Eating Enough Protein To Lower Your Setpoint Weight?

I don’t know of a single person who hasn’t tried to lose weight, even if it’s just a few pounds. For most people, that’s easy to do. But easy goes out the window when your goal is to lose more than just a few. Why is losing the first few pounds easy? Why does your body reach a point where it seems impossible to lose any more weight?

Those are great questions and easy to answer. Especially when you pay attention to how much protein you are eating. First, when you begin giving attention to what you’re eating, it’s easy to decide if you should eat a salad or a piece of blueberry cheesecake, or protein. Obviously, you’re going to choose the salad, with chicken because you think it’s the better option.

But, after a while, the weight stops dropping, you’ve hit a plateau and you become frustrated. You’re still making, what you believe, are healthy choices when it comes to preparing meals. So, what happened?

Your Setpoint Weight Is Responsible For Your Inability to Lose Weight

Your current setpoint weight is the reason you hit that plateau. Basically, your body is telling you that it’s lost all the weight it’s comfortable dropping and is refusing to lose anymore. But you don’t need to give up, you haven’t lost the battle. Think of your plateau as a ‘diet time-out’, while you plan a different strategy.

It’s more than possible to lower your setpoint weight, but low calorie dieting isn’t the answer. Decreasing the number of calories you consume each day will only leave you feeling rundown, possibly harming your health, in the long run. Yoyo dieting isn’t the solution either, if anything, losing and gaining weight repeatedly only results in a higher setpoint weight.

So, what can you do to lower your setpoint weight? I suggest getting started on a protein-rich diet!

Why Protein Is Necessary To Lower Your Setpoint Weight

Everything you eat affects your body’s setpoint weight so you need to start eating smart. Adding more protein to your diet is one of the SANEst ways to begin. Protein benefits your body in a number of ways while keeping you feeling fuller longer. Simply put, when you feel full, you don’t eat because your body is satisfied.

A few SANE protein tips:

  • Recommended amount of protein: 125 grams for small stature women and 200 grams for large stature men. This is daily, not per meal.
  • High quality animal protein is extremely healthy, but vegetarian sources of protein are also beneficial for a SANE lifestyle.
  • Organic foods are healthy but organic protein isn’t a ‘must have’. Clean Whey Protein or Clean Pea Protein are 2 great options.
  • Foods containing more proteins than carbohydrates or fat, are best for a SANE lifestyle.
  • A diet rich in protein helps to decrease your cravings for sweets.

Take That First Step Towards Lowering Your Setpoint Weight

Taking steps each day will bring you that much closer to your goal of lowering your setpoint weight. Consistency is necessary for achieving your goal of lowering your setpoint weight. For some people, support can be invaluable when it comes to staying on track. SANE helps with all of this, and more, by believing in you!

I know how hard it can be to take that first step towards lowering your setpoint weight, but we’ve made it easy for you to get started. Here’s a short questionnaire, Your Setpoint Risk Score, that will help us to help you get started…Click here if you want to take your first step.

The Setpoint Diet: How Does it Compare to Popular Diets?

You may have heard of the Setpoint Diet, and you may also be wondering how it works versus the most popular diets out there. But first we need to ask why certain diets are so popular? The answer to that is simple! These diets give people hope and raise their expectations. But after a few months, their hopes are crushed. Over time, their expectations become non-existent.

Popular diets can result in some weight loss, but it’s only temporary. Sure, you can follow that same diet for the rest of your life, but following the latest, most popular diet isn’t going to make you happy for the long-term. Fad diets and short-term solutions come with short-term happiness.How do popular diets compare to the Setpoint Diet? Not favorably. Do you really want to be dieting for the rest of your life?

So let’s get specific, what are the most popular diets out there? Well according to US News and World Reports the most popular diets over the last decade are:

    • Weight Watchers
    • Nutrisystem
    • Jenny Craig
    • South Beach Diet
    • SlimFast
    • Zone Diet
    • Whole30
    • Atkins
    • DASH Diet
    • Mediterranean Diet
    • MIND Diet

But the question remains…

Why Don’t These Popular Diets Help You Keep The Weight Off?

After months of starving yourself and eating foods you don’t like, you’re ready to celebrate! You followed that diet to a ‘T’, you managed to lose some weight.. then suddenly you’re gaining it all back, plus a few extra pounds. Now you’re frustrated, depressed, and asking yourself what you did wrong!

Stop feeling bad and blaming yourself for something you had no control over. Popular diets fail for a reason, that’s why there’s so many available, each one promising to be better than the last. Their goal is to help you lose weight. But they don’t help you repair the underlying problem: Your Setpoint Weight

You Can Fail With A Popular Diet Or Succeed With The Setpoint Diet

I like to think of fad diets the leaky pipe under a kitchen sink. If you don’t buy the right sized pipe to repair the link, all you have is a continual flow of water coming out of the pipe rather than going down the drain. But, with the correct pipe, the problem is solved. So, clean up the mess and move on to other things that make you happy.

The Setpoint Diet is like the correct pipe. It’s smart dieting because it solves your problem by helping to lower your setpoint weight. Without a proper fix, your setpoint weight will stay the same, or it can even be raised, leaving you with a bigger mess to clean up.

Your setpoint is pre-determined by the food you eat, exercise, hormones, and your genes. Because your setpoint weight is your body’s ‘comfort zone’, any weight you’re successful in losing will be gained back. If your setpoint weight is 180 pounds, your average weight will be between 160 and 200 pounds. That leaves a 20-pound weight margin. Let’s say your goal is to weigh 130 pounds, how do you get there?

Why The Setpoint Diet Is Sustainable While Popular Diets Are Temporary

A SANE lifestyle helps you heal your body as you follow the Setpoint Diet. Adjusting your setpoint weight allows your body to feel more comfortable at a lower weight because your setpoint weight has been reset in a way that’s not harmful to your body or your wellbeing.

The Setpoint Diet is a healthy, sustainable, and satisfying weight loss program. It’s not just a diet, it’s a healthy lifestyle. SANE gives you healthy options for dieting and exercise that won’t take up all your spare time. You will eat better, sleep better, and feel better! Comparably, popular diet plans fall short in by nearly every measure.

How Do You Start Losing Weight On The Setpoint Diet?

If you want to stop temporary weight loss and the frustrations that go with gaining that weight back, we can show you how. Today can be the day you begin the Setpoint Diet…Click here to learn how.

Ugly Truth: The Wrong Type Of Exercise Can Raise Your Setpoint Weight

Can exercising possibly raise your setpoint weight?

Today, we are going to learn an important lesson: why exercise can raise your setpoint weight. I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s true. For many decades, we’ve all been under the misconception that exercising is good for your body. For the most part, that’s true. However, the type of exercising you do is going to have an impact on your body, and most importantly, your Setpoint Weight.

Just like with anything in life, there’s the good and the bad. Without proper guidance and knowledge, it’s really just a guessing game, and that means you are alone in determining which exercises might help lower your setpoint and which ones will actually raise your setpoint weight.

How Do I Know Which Exercises Will Raise My Setpoint Weight?

Unless you’re a fitness trainer or an athlete, chances are you’re still thinking any exercise is good for your body. Please don’t feel bad, it’s what gym class taught us. But now we’re adults and the rules of the game have changed, like our bodies 🙂 Just because someone changed the rules doesn’t mean you’re stuck with the same old game plan when it comes to physical fitness

Sure, you can always do an internet search for the best workouts but how will you know if the results are correct? They probably won’t even mention the words setpoint weight. Or, you can always go online and purchase an exercise video or book, but will it really include the exercises you need to keep from raising your setpoint weight? Stop wasting your precious time and hard-earned money only to fall short of reaching the goal you set for yourself.

The problem with some exercise is that the only thing you want to do after working-out is refuel your body by eating. You’ve just wasted your time, defeated your purpose, and now you’re tired and sweaty. The exercises you’ve just spent an hour or more doing, only helped to raise your setpoint weight.

How Do I Prevent My Setpoint Weight From Going Up?

The simple answer is to exercise smarter! One of the first steps to lowering your setpoint weight rather than raising it, is to move your body differently than you have in the past. You need to change your current routine so you’re focusing more on your type 2b muscle fibers.

With SANE, you’ll be doing eccentric exercises that don’t require you to work out every single day.

If you’re not familiar with the term; eccentric means to ‘step away from the recognized, familiar, or customary’, something unusual, out of the norm.’

The best part of eccentric exercising is that it can easily be done in less than an hour per week. Even better, it can be done in your own home, so forget about going to the gym.

The proper type of SANE exercise does lower your setpoint! You just need to take the first step by learning how to move your body in different ways, using a variety of muscles. The exercise categories below, are not eccentric and will only help you move muscles you’re already using.

  • Cardio: leaves you feeling tired and hungry.
  • Endurance: repetitive, boring motions over long time periods.
  • Strength: lifting weights is a big part of strength training. This is why many people join a gym, not many people keep a set of weights at home.
  • Flexibility: helps your body to stay limber, but doesn’t help to lower your setpoint weight.

Let SANE Teach You How To Prevent Your Setpoint Weight From Rising

It may be easier to continue exercising the way you always have, rather than learn something new. Often, if an old method has not worked for us in the past, it more than likely won’t work in the future. It’s just inSANE to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results. SANE can help you exercise smarter and lower your Setpoint Weight. Click here to learn how.
