The absolute beauty of eating low carb is that it takes a lot more food volume to hit 1500 calories. I eat all the time and much more than the people consuming high sugar content,high calorie small portions of food.
That sugar or carb will spike your cravings and the small portions will make your stomach and mind grumble.
Eat your bacon but remember,only 25 % protein and fat and 75% low sugar high fiber vegetables.
Do this every day and you will be full and lose weight without being hungry.

No. I blame the years of overeating, eating garbage, and binge eating on my fatness.
I'm just looking for some more information on 'starvation mode' and whether or not it's really a thing that I have to consider as I try to rid myself of the weight.
That being said, it's hard to get what you need... from a nutritional standpoint... if you're at too much of a deficit. If you're eating under all the time, you're not doing yourself any favors long term.
I get starvation mode, almost everyday that I log my meals. I honestly am not hungry, I eat clean and try to eat everything healthy. How can I be in starvation mode while I am full? Should I eat more?
Starvation mode happens after you've eaten a very low calorie diet for a long enough time to where you loose both muscle and fat and you've lost a certain amount of your body weight. In other words, you are emaciated.
People of normal weight, overweight, or even slightly underweight, do not go into starvation mode.
I'd be surprised if most of us here at MFP had any danger of going into starvation mode. At least, I know there is no danger for me. :bigsmile:0 -
