Dr. Fung describes this concept as a fat thermostat. The body has a set weight that is "normal." When you deviate from that weight, the body will vigorously defend itself against the weight loss from a pure survival standpoint. Afterall, if our ancient ancestors dropped 20 - 30 lb when they were hunters and gatherers, they'd have died of starvation.
In order to lower the body's set weight, you have to aggressively and consistently lower the body's insulin repeatedly over an extended period of time in order to retrain the body and achieve a new healthier set weight.
