A theory about why weight loss is hard for some people has been making its rounds around the internet. This theory is called Set Point Theory.

From social media to trends to fad diets, we constantly (and unfairly) see and hear that dieting gives us value. Think about how you would feel without worrying about food, being scared of “failing” a diet, or without waiting the entire week for a ‘cheat day’.
