Starvation mode,

Im sorry but i cant beilve in it i just cant, I mean, some people did a study, on some men and their metabs slowed down but they never stoned losing, yes it slowed down and know everyone thinks oh they have a deep fear into going into starvation mode i think its ridic, Iv come to realize weither your eating less or more weight will do what it wants, and thats it, If your eating 1200 calories yes your metab might slow, but never stop wow ha, and if your eating lets say 1900 or 1500 it could still slow, and you could stop losing weight on that also and than the weightloss picks up again, weight is tricky, But i cant beilve in this starvation mode, people who get bypass surgery. do they eat more calories no people who are starving in this world comfortably yes it is very very sad iv never seen a big starving person have you and have you ever seen someone not lose weight EVENTUALLY EVENTUALLY on a low calorie diet, Cuz i havnt , what people need to realize is long term goals, IF you eat 1200 calories and expect to lose weight in a few weeks and get to goal no it wont work like that it takes a Long time for me i dont stick to 1 calorie but i always make sure im in a deficant, so who truly beilves in starvation mode and who doesnt, ????????

    Starvation mode only occurs when you've already gotten to quite a low body fat percentage (generally <10% for women and <5% for men). Yes, metabolic decrease can occur from prolonged periods of severely under eating, but not starvation mode. You literally need to be like Auschwitz thin to go into starvation mode.
