    it is a myth. there has been no real scientific studies to show this happens..its a popular myth perpetuated by the uniformed. its spread by these popular tv trainers and other tv so called 'doctors'. so it just goes around and around and people believe it because a lot of people believe it. just like the whole we need to eat at least 1200 cals myth.

    what really happens is metabolic adaptation. look it up.

    technically when anyone is a on a calorie restrictive diet of any kind they are 'starving' themselves. thats how we lose weight.

    Psst... Metabolic adaption = starvation mode

    I'm not gonna post anything after this, because Ladyhawk says what I'm saying, but much better, and with more links.

    Carry on, love!

    P.S. Thank you for the extremely well educated, informative response. It's a shame some people just refuse to see the truth.
