    Starvation mode is true people. There are people dropping every minute as they have been either fasting or waiting too long to eat after a workout. You must eat during your workout to avoid this unfortunate condition. I would recommend taking a 3 course meal into the weights room with you. Starter following your warm up, main course mid workout and some cake following your cool down. Too many people are suffering and further pain must be avoided at all costs.

    One gym has decided to set up a food stall next to the squat rack following the death of 3 starvation mode athletes in the last 8 days. Hungry athletes were tucking into chicken curries, pastas and bagels between sets.

    Be careful people don't say I didn't warn you!!!

    :)

    Another expert heard from..... :huh: I think you should truly look into what starvation mode is.... and this isn't it. Waiting too long to eat and getting light headed (and even passing out) has more to do with low blood sugar levels. True starvation mode does exist but what you're describing isn't that.

    I always do my push ups down to a protein bar and take a bite before pushing back up! I don't want to go into starvation mode!

    During cardio nutrition is key!

    And what exactly is the problem there? Apart from the fact that I didn't think of doing it!

    The only thing I see wrong is, that she is on a recumbent bike...

    Why don't you eat 800 calories a day and get more ripped?
    Yeah, that's the way to do it for sure! I think there's a thread for that....... "800 calories and I'm RIPPED!"

    I usually just bring my hibachi grill and cook up some ribs while I'm doing my first couple sets. When I first started, I had to eat them while still on the rare side, but now I can make it all the way up to medium-well.

    I nearly reported this post. Medium well??? How dare you sir. :noway:

    I'm going to find a way to use "tucking in" every day from now on.

    me too, love that!

    and I cant remember the last time I ate a Krispy Kreme which is just sad... :sad:

    Some of my best weight loss runs have been following a starvation mode week - kicks the metabolism into gear - use fat or die!

    It is true. I do not have refs to back it up but I studied this in my psychology courses. Basically our body doesn't know the difference between actually starving and "dieting" so it does what it can to help us survive.

    What about insulin?

    I hear they are trialling a needle bar in some places. When you feel yourself waning, you just pop over and they fill you up. They are being sensible and keeping it away from the food bar though...Food Hygiene reasons :)

    hillarious!

    Thats great and all, but everyone comes in here stating that it is and that it isnt. If youre going to make big claims like that, you need to back it up with scientific proof. And by that I mean linking to real references, not some guys blog.
    Wow you have no idea what sarcasm is lol

    Make sure you don't work out after 7! You'd drop dead for sure, cause everyone knows you can't eat after 7.
