So, in order to keep you living and breathing, again, body NOT caring about weight loss, the body will slow or stop some other systems (metabolism being the 1st it stops) and hang on to those 1200 calories b/c all it knows is that you are under-feeding it and so it must "hoard" that 1200, store it as fat and keep you alive. You essentially are stopping the metabolic process to a halt when you under eat.
... wait a minute here ... ??? ... isn't this post feeding into the Starvation Mode myth? Maybe I'm reading something wrong?0 -
and then this later on by the OP...
The first week, I lost the slight 3 lb gain I had when I was eating at a deficit - despite eating below 1200 when I was "unschooled" my body kept and retained even the plant based food - it was hungry! But after that bump to 1680, I lost those 3 lbs PLUS another 1 lb at that weigh in
i'm sorry, but i don't think this post should be on the announcements...
"i gained 3lbs in one week when eating at a deficit" ... no.no.no.no.no. Why is this post getting so much praise? It's taken me a long time to unwrap my head around bro-science.1 -

Why on earth is this a sticky thread? The OP is basically a rehash of the completely-inaccurate "starvation mode" nonsense that gets so many people in trouble.
If anything, this thread should be deleted.

Epic fail. Lost at 'coma" - BMR is measured on concious subjects at rest.0

Are you sure?
Maybe I should go back and read it again...it made my eyes cross the first time.
It is not that complicated and it seems as if she is combining different methods.
The Fat to Fit site that she referenced is about eating at your TDEE of you GOAL weight not TDEE minus a percentage.

This is true.
You can also explain the TDEE minus a percentage method and the fat2fit eat the TDEE of your goal weight (which are different, although both nice methods) without all the false starvation mode stuff or the scare tactic about how eating less than BMR will prevent you from losing and put your life at risk.1 -
