Set Point Theory

By Jennifer R. Scott


Definition: Set point theory is a theory that the body maintains its normal weight and body fat

level with internal regulatory controls that dictate how much fat one has.

According to the set point theory, some individuals have a high setting, meaning they tend to

have a naturally higher weight as a set point, and others have a low set point, and therefore a

naturally lower body weight.

The set point theory suggests that despite dieting efforts, the body tends to return to its set

point weight, however regular, consistent exercise may help to adjust the natural set point.

Examples:

Some refer to the set point theory as an internal "thermostat" that regulates body fat.

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Man is born with the god-given body,

facial features, height, weight, body frame etc.

He can do NOTHING about any of these...

unless he goes under the knife - like many people do now.

But developing his skills, talents, knowledge, thinking process etc

depend on his own choice, hard work, tenacity and effort.

I will concentrate on and improve what lies within my power

rather than try to fight with God a losing battle. :fencing:

Humor is NOT the ability to laugh at others :rofl:

but the ability to laugh at oneself! :laugh:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Once I fell down from a plastic stool - the legs of which bent

and gave away like the legs of an over-worked knock-kneed donkey.

I bumped my head badly on the frame of the cot behind me.

The people in the room had a hearty laugh at my expense

and none came forward to give me helping hand!

So much for their sense of humor.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Even the statement "I drank my morning coffee"

will receive more attention than the statement

"I fell down from the cot and bumped my head badly!"

God had taught me how to convert :hail:

my loneliness into Solitude. :thumb:

அச்ச மாங்கார மகத்தடக்கி னாற்பின்னை
நிச்சயமா மீச னிலை.
ஒளவைக் குறள்.

இயற்கையில் ஒவ்வொரு பொருளும் இடைவிடாது
தன் மூலஸ் தானத்தை நோக்கியே பயணம் செய்கின்றது.

இயற்கையில் நிகழும் பல சுழற்சிகளுக்கு இதுவே காரணம்!

மனிதன் கடவுளிடமிருந்து புறப்பட்டவன்.
அவன் இறுதியில் கடவுளைச் சென்றுசேர வேண்டும்.

மன மாசுகளை அகற்றி மனத்தூய்மை அடைந்துவிட்டால்
அவன் எளிதாகத் மூலஸ்தானத்தை எட்டி விடலாம்.

Yes, we should choose our friends carefully. :decision:

And when they become bad for any reason, :evil:

we should be ready to break away from them! :bolt:

A smile is not an expensive one to change one's look.

 

[nannilam_balasubramanian]

A physician once said about the true love,
'The best medicine for human is Love'.
Some one quipped,' What if it doesn't work?'

He smiled and said, "Increase the dose".


Love is patient.
Love is kind.
Love does not envy
Love does not boast.
Love is not proud.
Love is not rude.
Love is not self-seeking.
Love is not easily angered.
Love keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil.
Love rejoices with the truth.
Love always protects.
Love always trusts.
Love always hopes.
Love always perseveres.
Love never fails

A smile is not an expensive one to change one's look.

Instead of pulling down
the corners of the mouth
we just have to pull them up!!!

அன்றுமுத லின்றளவு மறியாப் பருவத்தில்
என்றும் பொதுவா இருந்த நிராமயன்காண்
பட்டினத்தார்

இறந்த காலம் சென்று மறைந்துவிட்டது.
எதிர்காலம் வெறும் கற்பனையாக இருக்கிறது.
நிகழ் காலம் ஒன்றே எப்போது நீடித்து இருக்கிறது.
இடையறாத நிகழ் காலமே ஆகும் எப்போதும்
இடையறாது நீடிக்கும் ஆத்மாவின் சந்நிதானம்.


Past is a History.

Future is a mystery.

Present is a gift!

That is why it is called as present!

"Emotions will either serve or master, depending on who is in charge." -- Jim Rohn

May be like FIRE and MONEY, it is also a good servant and a bad master!

Do not correct a fool,or he will hate you,
Correct a wise man,and he will appreciate you.
Lessons learned.

A FOOL needs to be corrected often, but he won't accept it!

A wise man needs no correction, but will accept it gracefully!

But ironically,

We can't use/ misuse the person who DOES NOT like us! :hand:

We can't say," I am busy!" to one who DOES NOT need us!!

We can't cheat anyone UNLESS HE/SHE trusts us!!! :suspicious:

I agree we can't forget the one who remembers us all the time.

His/ her thought waves will make us remember that person!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Yes... including RED colored grass!
