There is currently, no known way to change the set point, other than extreme measures: bariatric surgery. And even with that, they're not exactly sure how it changes the set point.
We're not even completely sure of what causes the set point to be messed up. There's a mountain of correlational evidence that points to sugar and all the foods that were invented to replace fat (obesity skyrocketed precisly the year US told everyone to switch over from fat to sugar). But, what precisely about sugar is it? the processed foods probably?
At this point, all we can do is try to eat as natural as possible and prevent the set point from ever getting messed up, as early as possible, before your overweight before your an adult, before even childhood. It starts with the baby in the womb.
