setpoint theory is what?
weight regulating mechanism is a feature of the hypothalamus of the brain that controls how much the body should weigh. The WRM has a setpoint for controlling both appetite and the amount of fat stored. A very low-calorie diet will trigger the body to adjust its setpoint to a reduced basal metabolic rate (BMR – lowest level of caloric intake to sustain life) .
83
energy balancing equation
caloric input equals the caloric output the person will not gain or loose weight
