Many people think everybody has a preset fat point. This means at some stage the body reaches a predetermined optimal fat level. This idea has been followed for a long time but is in fact wrong.

Our fat point comes down to the way we live our lives on a day to day basis.

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.

Let’s say you have been eating too much for a number of years. Let’s say you have retained a certain percentage body fat for a certain time. This then becomes your fat point and you can influence it directly by the lifestyle choices you make.

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.

You see, you are the one who sets the fat point and your body is just doing what it can to keep things in balance.

Your body will constantly monitor that new fat point by all the messages that are sent to the brain. If you are to go on a crash diet your body will react to the fact that it sees an attack on that fat point and will do all it can to maintain what it believes is the correct balance. The maintenance can be in the form of a reduction in muscle tissue to save fat.

Still many people prefer to believe that their weight problems are the result of genetics. For them it becomes easier when they feel the situation is beyond their control.

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.
