Basic Nutrition Question

James_Bergin

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone knows what type of calorie consumption ranges trigger so-called starvation responses and how long this would take to begin to have an effect?

Thanks for your patience :-)

Your metabolism will never downregulate to the extent that a deficit cannot be restablished by a further reduction in calories.

Any calorie reduction triggers an energy expenditure reduction on the Body Weight Simulator. The thermic effect of food is reduced, if nothing else ie less calories used to digest food.
