Why is the "set point" always going up and never down? I was thinking about the "set point" obeasts claim each body has. It's supposed to be the perfect and healthy weight for a body, no matter if it's 100 lbs or 400 lbs (usually the latter), and the body will do anything to stay at that weight. So there is no point in trying to lose weight, because the body will always return to its "set point". But why will the body not also lose weight, if they get above it? Pretty much all of them keep getting fatter, so if they already reached their "set point", shouldn't they automatically lose weight again to return to it? It seems the "set point" always keeps going up with their weight, but never down. Stupid fatlogic.
