Homeostasis is the property of a living organism, that regulates its internal environment so as to maintain a stable, constant condition. When you don’t drink enough water in the short term — often the body retains water. It attempts to maintain homeostasis by counteracting the stresses we put on it. When we weight train — we actually break down muscle tissue. And the body responds by building new muscle. It attempts to maintain homeostasis by doing the reverse of the stimulus we placed on it. How does this apply to weight loss? We know that…
