I agree completely.
Some of the irresponsibility from individuals that otherwise seem to be basically intelligent people is absolutely deplorable. Putting others health at risk for your quacky 'theories' is unacceptable =(.

Quick Question- Anyone know how long it takes your body to get out of starvation mode and begin metabolizing faster again? Just curious.. TNX!0

Depends on how long it's been abused, somewhat. But most people, who increase intake gradually to a healthy level, will begin to see progress in appetite, lean mass retention, and weight loss within a month or two. Many people see a temporary gain in weight, but this is normal and once the body adjusts to the higher intake, they will start to lose again.0 -

Thanks for adding in the “why are anorexics skinny then?” part as I was just going to ask that. Starvation mode simply becomes starvation, thanks.0

If you're Resting Metabolic Rate is well below normal (told it was from years of dieting and skipping meals), is there any way to fix it/increase it back to normal levels?0

Sure - I could write it out, but there's a pretty good explanation in this post (taken from Tom Venuto). The part about how to fix it is toward the end. He basically discusses how to avoid starvation mode and then says do the same things to fix it, but add an adjustment period. Essentially, you want to gradually increase cals, and keep a more moderate deficit than you might otherwise. Good luck with it.

Thanks. I think that "starvation mode" is thrown around a little too quickly when a person has reached a plateau.0

"I'm assuming you are trying to live longer, but for me personally I want to be able to eat as much as possible and be ripped. I love food and I love being strong. Will I live to be 100? maybe not, but I also might get hit by a bus tomorrow. So I am going to enjoy it while I can."
AMEN to that!0 -

Not necessarily. And there are other concerns. Might want to read this:
