Starvation mode?

OH FOR GOD'S SAKE! Are you??? Are you losing weight? Do you have energy? How is your general health? Is your hair falling out? Or do you feel good? Only you can answer and only you know what works for you and what doesn't. For crap's sake you lost 95 pounds!!!! I would say your doing freaking awesome. And unless your DOCTOR (who you should be seeing if you are eating that low cal and losing that much weight), tells you otherwise, not a bunch of amateur know it all's on this board tells you, keep up the good work!

It is a disorder...What can I say?!?!?

this is a useless idea. where did you get this idea? starving makes no sense. it only consumes your bodies existing fat and protein stores. the weight that you're trying to lose is the 'fat' which you can only lose by limiting carbohydrate consumption and eating proteins and fats. Please read 'Good Calories Bad Calories' and get the science under control and go back to eating.

Judging by your pics you would lose weight eating 2000 calories. You don't want to eat less than 1000 because your metabolism will slow down to support bodily functions. You've lost weight, awesome. But, you will gain it back the minute you start eating because yes, you've practically entered "starvation mode" where your body basically takes energy from any where possible. You will lose weight but at what expense? You will eventually enter CNS fatigue depending on how hard you train.
Anyways, good luck.

You look like you are on some kind of high protein diet. Protein is good, I could do with eating more of it and cutting my carbs back, I have to admire someone who can eat turkey bacon, ham, turkey burger and chicken breast all in one day.

however I would be a bit concerned at the lack of veggies in the days I looked at. They give you all kinds of nutrients and vitamins.

But if this is working for you, I guess you will keep doing it, but I do think you could eat more and still lose weight, sorry but I am always a bit disturbed by such low calorie diets.

But good luck to you and I hope you can sustain this long enough to reach goal and then you can go to much higher calories for maintenance.

Well if you stop eating at all you will lose even more faster!

Yup.

Starvation mode is very real. There is a massive misconception that it somehow prevents you from losing weight. It does not. In starvation mode, you will lose weight, but it will be unhealthy, and much of it will be lean body mass, not fat.

You need to make sure you eat enough. It seems counterintuitive, but eating too few calories will hinder fat loss. When you enter all of your vital statistics into MFP, it comes up with a total number of calories you should be eating. This number includes a healthy deficit below what you would need to eat to maintain, so you should try to get as close to that number as possible. When you burn calories, your body pulls both from fat reserves and muscle tissue, but the ratio of the two can change. When you eat at a small deficit and exercise, your body will tend to pull from fat reserves since they are easier to access and your muscles are being used. When the deficit grows too large for too long, your body will start to shift towards burning muscle tissue rather than fat. Muscle tissue requires more calories to maintain than fat cells, so when your body expects to not get enough food for an extended period, it will hoard fat cells to try to maintain an energy reserve for future use. You will still lose weight, but most of that weight will be muscle, not fat. As long as your deficit is small, your body isn't worried about getting enough food and will be comfortable burning through the fat reserves.

I've done what you are doing, and it does not lead to a good place. If you keep this up long term, you run the risk of doing damage to your metabolism and ending up at a low weight, but high body fat. It took me years to undo all of the damage I did eating about 300 calories a day for six months. Don't make the same mistake.

Being healthy is what is important. With a low calorie diet it is important to make sure you are getting adequate nutrition. If you are taking in less calories than your body needs you will lose weight. If you are obese the majority of that weight will be fat. If you have low body fat the majority of that weight will come from your muscles and your bones and your organs. You don't have to starve to lose weight. You only have to eat and drink less calories than your body needs.
