The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
The Role of Body Set Weight and Processed Foods in Obesity
The body sets a weight that it should be at, and hormonal systems are activated to bring it back to the set weight. The production of leptin by fat cells tells the body to stop eating when there is too much body fat. In obese individuals, their body set weight is significantly high.
