I have an entire hard drive full of snake pics. Who am I to criticize.:drinker:
Given the number of bacon pics I've seen on MFP, I'd bet someone has an entire hard drive full of bacon pics.Wait!!! Does someone have a gif of bacon AND ice cream? Anyone? Anyone?
You say that like it's a bad thing.0 -
I swear if I see one more thread where someone says that someone is in "starvation mode" because they missed snack 2 or are eating 1200 calories a day I am going to have a melt down.
I don't know if your issue is with people using the term "starvation mode" or just telling people they need to eat more. I have recently seen a lot of posts from people having problems losing weight because they are trying to do less than 1200 calories and exercise and the usual advice is eat more. You eat more so you have the energy to exercise but like anything everyone is different so I think this post is just confusing some people out there. That is great it works for you but most people who post and are asking for advice it is not working for so people are advising them to do something different. That is how you find out what works for you.
So making a post to tell people to stop giving advice they were giving on an individual asking for help seems like you are taking it as personal advice aimed at you when it wasn't.0 -
augustawhysee's post just before mine is a classic example of the effects of repeated starvation. If Augusta will go on a normal calorie diet for a while their BMR will increase to a healthy level and stabilize, they will gain weight during this time and it will probably take a couple of months but once everything has normalized then healthy weight loss can occur. Until your hormones stabilize you are going to find it nearly impossible to loose weight in a healthy manner.0

I think I read somewhere that starvation mode only happens when you hit <5% BF...
Yep... 5-6% for men, and around 10% for women. Look up the Military study done by Karl Friedl0 -
I'm picking up what you're putting down... I get frustrated when say one day I was just not feeling well, not hungry whatever and didn't eat all my calories for the day MFP will give me a warning about "starvation mode'. I am aware that if for some reason I skip a meal i will not be in starvation mode and MFP needs to shut up. lol0

But it will also congratulate you for finishing your diary and coming in under your calorie goal! It needs to shut up AND make up its mind!0 -

Seriously, I think half the reason I got overweight in the FIRST place was the stupid starvation mode myth. After so much information, I literally now have almost no idea how I should be eating. I just try to eat 4 meals a day of about 300-400 calories each with a lot of protein and veggies and hope for the best.
The other myth that needs to be banned is "maybe the weight you gained is muscle weight." Yeah right! It is not possible to randomly put on 3-5 pounds of muscle in one week. I am working out 2x a week for an hour at weight training, hoping to gain that much in a few MONTHS. Not three days. Maybe it's water retention, but 3 pounds of muscle? I think not.0 -
