Your body fights to keep you within a range of about 15 pounds—also known as your "setpoint weight". New research reveals that you can lower your setpoint and end that battle for good by focusing on the quality of calories you eat, not the quantity. With The Setpoint Diet, you will reprogram your body with a 21-day plan to rev up your metabolism, eliminate inflammation, heal your hormones, repair your gut, and get your body working like that of a naturally thin person—permanently.

I was very open to loving The Setpoint Diet. The author is very enthusiastic. However I had serious issues with the content.
The tone of the book has a lot more in common with a cult than science. There are many points in the book where I thought "this guy is just taking correlations and making them into a book". For example, he cites MSG as a cause of brain inflammation that causes weight gain, and cites a study on mice as the reason.
There really was a mice study on the effects of MSG. However they were given huge, unnatural levels of MSG that a human would never ingest, and it caused them to gain weight.
But in the book he goes out of his way to say that this is a study that should be taken at face value, which is extremely disappointing and borderline unethical.
If this book was better researched or more honest about its portrayal, I would give it a higher score.
Let's be clear though: his basic claim that non-starchy veggies and healthy proteins eaten as the majority of one's diet, along with interval training and eating to satiety, will reduce a human's set point, seems to be fairly true based on what we know.
So I'm not going to say that his premise is categorically wrong, but he is academically dishonest at several points in the book. Which makes sense because he's just some guy writing a book, he is NOT a medical professional. Just keep that in mind.
