I know, everyone gets really riled up about it but its so clear0 -
The thing about "starvation mode" is that you would have to have virtually NO body fat left to have your metabolism slow down to the point of no weight loss. Nothing left to lose. As the article states, people here tend to think, "Oh, I've been eating 1,110 calories a day for a month, I'm not losing weight because my body is in starvation mode!" It takes a significant amount of time to starve your body. Not saying it won't happen, but cutting calories will never make you not lose weight.0

Thanks for this...I've always sat uneasily with the 'starvation mode' theory0

me too.. I've gone back and forth with it a lot because I knew it didn't seem possible to happen that quickly but people on here always told me that's what was happening on 1200 calories0 -
Thank you for this link.0

It's a very interesting article. I always wondered how anorexics were able to become so thin with so little calories if starvation mode actually existed.0

or for that matter how the many died in concentration camps from starvation0 -

Thanks a lot for this! maybe people will now get it through their thick skulls *ohh eating to less will cause you to go into starvation mode* what a load of BS!0

Your body can't outrun a calorie deficit, therefore starvation mode doesn't exist. It doesn't make any sense for your body to "hold onto fat" when you're starving.0

It is a real phenomenon but it should be called something else.....of course if you are eating practically nothing then you are going to lose weight so the concentration camp analogy is a stupid one to point to because no one here should be starving themselves to lose weight. Starvation mode is just simply your bodies metabolic rate slowing to a crawl. Every single time I have lost a lot of weight I have been able to directly correlate my slow down/halt of weight loss with verifiable changes in my blood pressure, heart rate and temperature.....it always happens about 10 pounds shy of my goal weight.
Pretty much where I am at right now.....my resting heart rate has been in 40's!!, blood pressure around 110/60 and body temperature has gone down to an average of around 96.5. In response, I have started increasing my calorie count by about 300 to 400 a day to around 1600 a day for the past couple of weeks and I am having incredible workouts as a result....energy level through the roof and resting heart rate is slowly increasing to around the low 50's....still very low but better. Weight loss has slowly started back up....going to keep it up and be patient because at the end of the day, it's about how you look, feel, etc....and I feel great!0 -
