2. Set piont in regard to individual weight

Set point theory states that each individual's  body is programmed to a range of weight, and it will fight or try to regulate that weight range. Set point is different for each individual.

Relation to diet and exercise: According to Set point theory a feedback control mechanism is regulating the body weight of a person. When a person start dieting and exercise for weight loss, he may loss few pounds of weight, but his body will slowly start to fight for the weght gain by changing your appetite and metabolism. That's why many people who are in a weight control diet and exercise , have more hungry and urges of binge eating. A healthy diet and exercise maintains a person's healthy body weight ( set point body weight).
