Dr Tom: 'I aim to lose weight more slowly so I can trick my body into changing its set point'123rf Get yourself a gym buddy - it's easier to exercise with people. Here's a theory that has some evidence to back it - that your body fights to maintain certain fat levels and a set weight point. So, I have decided to try and trick my mind and my set weight. I am aiming to lose weight more slowly so I can trick my body into changing its set point. * Dr Tom Mulholland is an Emergency Department Doctor and GP with over 25 years' experience in New Zealand.
