Is the whole Starvation mode issue addressed in any of the sticky topics (guide to a road map, etc)? Having one of those to link to would be great.

But, to answer the question, no. Basically you need to be severely malnourished for a very long period of time (several months, at least) in order for full-on starvation mode kicks in. And even then, it's a comparably small loss of calorie usage.
