    You are proof that starvation exists. The jury is still out on starvation mode! I wish you the best possible recovery. Congratulations on facing your demons.

    "starvation mode" - ughhh. That's what happens when you eat less than 1200 calories, right?

    No, for the "love of Mike™", no!

    This article discusses real starvation ("starvation mode")

    This article discusses what the diet/personal trainer industry labels "starvation mode":

    http://www.builtlean.com/2010/04/27/starvation-mode-are-you-eating-enough/

    This latter document describes a situation that has very little in common with starvation but, by George, it sure does generate revenue!


    I would love to read a medically-sourced document about what the latter because calling a "plateau" with the moniker "starvation mode" is a disservice to people trying to lose weight and an insult to folks like the OP.
