Good thinking. Because that is the only way it works. There is no proof that you can maintain a weight that is below your Set Point in the long run.

Trying to maintain a weight level that is below your Set Point means that you will be wrestling against your natural Set Point your entire life. It is like trying to be taller than you actually are.

Your biology, which is controlled by your genes, does not want this to take place…or at the very least, not without a constant battle against your body.
