I recall a study that showed metabolism dropping by 15% when the fat on the
human body goes below a "setpoint." The setpoint was different for each
individual. 15% is not large enough to make weight management impossible.
However, it does tip the scales, so to speak.

A woman is not a man. One person is not the next. One race is not the
next. Like it or not animal models are what we learn a lot from. It
doesn't always work, but to dismiss any study based on animal models
isn't wise.

If i could guarantee you a 15% rate of return you would be a very happy
person.

As for weight management being impossible, that is not the argument. But
that's a pretty damn high standard.
