Can You Change Your Set Point?

Can You Change Your Set Point

Part I

Yes, you can change your set point. As I have traveled my Crossfit/Fabufit Paleo Journey over the past several years (Since 2014), I have been very aware of my Set Point. This was a new way of doing many things for me. I had always been far more restrictive in the foods I ate. For sure, I wasn’t crazy about adding much coconut oil, knowing the fat grams. Hmm…little did I know about the benefits and the synergistic effect Paleo eating and Crossfit Training would have. I tested things rather slowly, seeing just how much of certain things, I could add and still keep losing inches.

Most thankfully, I’ve lowered my set point and kept it there. Today, 2022, I still practice Crossfit Training two days a week and still eat basically 80% Paleo. Why change something that has worked and is a really fun way to eat. (I can’t say Crossfit is so much fun, but I know how to listen to my body and do what I can without injury. It is so very rewarding to complete each workout.)

WHAT IS A SET POINT?

Even though I’ve taught my Fabufit classes about the “Set Point” for years, as I realized the need for this information in a post and began to compose my thoughts, I had to stop and think. Just where did I originally learn about this, and how would I clearly define what this is? I learned about it so long ago, that I actually have not yet found where I learned it. So I went to the internet to research and verify my information. To my surprise, I even found research showing that we have a Happiness Set Point. I’m still checking this out.

Prevention describes the weight “Set Point ” as the weight at which your body likes to be and at which your body can stay with little effort. If you use a scale, (which I don’t anymore), it would be the number on the scale that your weight normally hovers around and doesn’t much like to budge from. If you use the tape measure, it would be the numbers on the tape measure where your body is quite happy to stay.

You may even think of a time in the past that you lost 10 or 20 pounds and then, ever so sadly, gained it all back in a few months. Your body’s natural tendency was to jump right back to it’s “set point” so it could hang out there with ease…..unless we have created a new set point.

WHAT DETERMINES ONE’S SET POINT?

Your heredity and your environment (starting even at the moment of conception) determine your set point. As years pass by, excess food and lack of exercise will override the natural tendency of your body to stay at its set point. This leads to a higher and less healthy set point. As weight is gained slowly, over the years, your body becomes deceived into thinking that your set point should be higher. In fact, it resets your set point. If your weight dips below – or even above – this newly determined set point, your metabolism goes to work in an attempt to restore the set point weight.

CAN YOUR SET POINT BE CHANGED?

The very good news is that, YES, your “set point” can be changed. Set Points are hard to change, but not impossible.

³⁷For with God nothing shall be impossible. Luke 1:37 KJV

Changing your set point requires patience and consistency. Just knowing it can be done, should bring you confidence and encouragement. And the even better news is that once it is lowered to a new Set Point, it wants to stay at this new lower number. Praise the Lord for this thought to think on.

HOW DO WE CHANGE THE SET POINT?

Believe it Can be Changed

Pray and Ask God for Direction, Help, and Patience to be Consistent

Set a Watch over Your Mouth Refusing to Speak What You See but Do Not Want

Your tongue is the pen of a ready writer. Ps 45:3……..because you can have what you say.

Easiest Way to Transform Your SetPoint

What is the Easiest Way to Transform Your SetPoint?

Let’s find the easiest way to transform your setpoint. SetPoints don’t like to be transformed. They stubbornly stick to what they’ve been trained (by us) to think what is right for one’s particular body to weigh. The bad news is that our Standard American Diet has caused a great majority of people’s setpoints to slowly rise higher and higher. However, the very very good news is that if you can learn how to lower your setpoint of weight, inches, size, it will fight to stay at that lowered point.

BUT HOW?………..

The past several weeks have been an exciting learning journey for me as I accidentally discovered a program I had never heard of before. Dr. Theodoros Kelesidis of The Harvard Medical School called this ” a proven prescription for weight loss.” Jonathan Bailor’s research and the program is what I uncovered. I was intrigued as I began to listen to webinars, study his posts, and read his book, The Setpoint Diet. My interest was high because what I was reading followed very closely with the Fabufit principles I have believed in for almost 20 years. I knew how important the set point was and even how to change it. However, I did not know the easiest way to transform your setpoint until now.

Endorsements of the SANE Program

Bailor’s program is endorsed by many prestigious medical reviews:

Dr. John J. Ratey from Harvard Medical School says, “Reveals the real story of diet, exercise, and their effects on us. I heartily recommend this.”

Dr. Oz’s Personal Trainer, Joel Harper says, “Opens the black box of fat loss and makes it simple!”

Dr. Christiane Northrup, New York Times best-selling author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause says, “Will do more to assist people with their health than all the diet books out there put together. I want to shout. “Bravo! Finally, someone gets it!”

Jonathan Bailor makes the bold declaration: “It works. Always. For everyone. Proven science + practical habits +powerful love = permanent results (always!)”

Back to the How

The simple underlying premise of the Sane Program is Eating More and Exercising Less. The focus is on eating higher quality foods and lessening or eliminating processed food, as well as selecting quality exercise. The highest quality food we can put into our bodies is non-starchy vegetables. Our goal in the SANE Solution is 12 vegetables a day. This is difficult to be done………UNLESS………….we bring in the smoothies.

What is a Sane Smoothie?

It is a vegetable smoothie that Jonathan Bailor says “Mainlines the most therapeutic Setpoint Lowering Nutrients Possible into the Body.” It is the easiest way to fill in the gap of your daily 12 servings. It unclogs hormones, accelerates metabolism, and heals the gut.

Start Easy

“Progress not perfection” is the key phrase to remember. Baby Spinach and Romaine Lettuce are the easiest beginning path. Add a couple of mandarin oranges, some water, a few strawberries, sea salt, and possibly stevia; and you have created a drink that is deliciously nutritious. 1% improvement today and tomorrow and the next day begins to create compound interest. Everyday you are balancing your hormones and lowering your setpoint. You are on the way to the easiest way to transform your setpoint.

More Help?

Watch for the next Fabulously Fit post. I will share tips I have gleaned from my studies and my own experience. If you are really serious about obtaining a lower setpoint and erasing inflammation in your body, join us in our next course all about the SANE program step by step. It will begin in late October. You can also find all about SANE on the internet and study it as I have. If you don’t have that time to invest in searching, let me narrow down the nuggets for you in this four-week teleconference session, which will be archived and can also be used as a home study course.

A Discovery Worth a Fortune

A Discovery Worth a Fortune

Research for the current Fabufit Course has uncovered a discovery worth a fortune in terms of health and fitness. Of course, God’s Word is my premium fortune on every area of life. When I find something that is in line with what God’s Word says and when it meets the criteria of my current understanding, I am overjoyed. Yes, this discovery is making me overjoyed. I am so thankful to the Lord for His direction. I found this while searching an entirely different path.

What is It?

This valuable discovery is an eating path which I had never heard of even though it has been tested and proven by volumes of research. How did I miss it? I wonder if you have missed it too. This finding of about four weeks ago changed the direction of our current course: 3 Best Eating Paths. This finding matches almost perfectly with the Fabufit guiding principles for fitness and health. The path is called SANE. It promised to transform your body by eating more and exercising less. This sounded double crazy to me …….at first. As I studied more, I saw that eating more meant dramatically increasing the daily intake of non starchy vegetables, eating good proteins, good whole food fats and low fructose fruits. This matched with my criteria. I was almost on board.

The SetPoint

Then I began to read about the SetPoint. Oh the SetPoint!!! I had learned about this years ago and understood and taught about it the best I could (rather limited) for many years. Yes, I knew that in order to have permanent weight loss success, the SetPoint had to be changed. I even knew a few things to do that would change it. However, I certainly didn’t know and understand what I know now. Believe me, it is exciting.

A Journey to Unclog the Hormonal Sink

For many of us, the sink has become clogged. The hormones need to be rebalanced and healed. The core of the SANE path is the healing of the body. SANE teaches you how to train your body to burn fat rather than store fat by eating SANE foods.

What Raises SetPoint and What Lowers?

Low quality, inSANE foods raise the SetPoint and destroys health. This leads to Diabetes, (Diabesity).

High quality SANE foods lower the SetPoint and restore health. This means, one becomes healthier and happier as the hormones become rebalanced and healed, the hormonal sink becomes unclogged, and the weight setpoint begins to effortlessly drop.

Exciting Times Ahead

Exciting times ahead as we learn things that have been hidden before to achieve results we only dreamed of in times past.

Watch for the announcement of new course focusing on the Set Point Secret to the greatest weight loss success of your life. “When you learn how to change your Set Point, your brain and hormones automatically start burning stored fat. ” ~ Jonathan Bailor

It was a Beautiful December

It was a Beautiful December

These past several weeks have gotten me really off track. I do thank the Lord for a beautiful December with so many treasures to be remembered. John and I went on a trip of a lifetime to Australia and New Zealand, being gone almost a month; and returning home just in time to race into Christmas. The race was too fast, and I feel like I didn’t get to enjoy the wonderfulness of Christmas as much as I would have loved to. However, I must say the trip was worth the race. We saw parts of God’s amazing world we had never seen. We flew into Sydney and so enjoyed several days there. We m et two of our favorite dancing couples from Dallas in Sydney boarded the Celebrity Soltice for a 14 day cruise. We were able to go on several excursions that allowed us to see the beauty of Australia and New Zealand.

Before leaving, I named my December month Dare to Be Fit December, as I knew that a cruise ship would definitely have delicious food that didn’t fit my Paleo lifestyle..

Honestly, I must admit that I did not make fabulous choices on all meals. However, I did eat very slowly and enjoyed every bite. And I was diligent to get 10,000 steps per my FitBit almost every single day with dancing, walking the deck and at night walking the halls and praying. And yes, Hoe Downs and extra water were needed on several occasions. So gratefully I did not add any inches or pounds. It also makes a big difference that my “Set Point” is rather firmly established.

November and December are two of my very favorite months of the year. I am so very thankful we did get home in time to be with our family. The excitement of our two little granddaughters were such a delight to watch. We have so very much

worthy of our heartfelt thanksgiving. I pray your Christmas was very good and that you were able to create some happy memories. So many things are going on at the same time it seems. There are still way too many opportunities to eat carelessly. I don’t want to do that for sure. “Lord help us each to slow down and enjoy the days and cherish the memories.” A brand new year is only around the corner. God’s mercies are new every morning, so we have an entire year of new mercies to look forward to.

My prayer is that hope will fill your heart. Our nation is dark, but He is Light. The darkness has never overpowered the light.

John 1:5 The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness can never extinguish it.

Personally, my hope is for “divine appointments”, deeper understanding of His promises and wondrous revelation of His love for us, His Remnant of people. My expectation is for miraculous “suddenlies” to begin to appear.

Psalm 68:28(AMP)

28 Your God has commanded your strength [your might in His service and impenetrable hardness to temptation]; O God, display Your might and strengthen what You have wrought for us!
