When I get bored, I look up random stuff. Today I was looking at starvation mode, and found this website. It is a nice read.

What are some other dietary myths you've heard/believed in that has been proven bogus?

    That was awesome! I did not read the whole thing but I read enough and so true! Thanks for sharing! I always said the same thing about the reality shows too!! If starvation mode was real -- then they would not be losing enormous amounts of weight because if they exercise 8 hours out of 16 and then they eat only 2000 calories, then you are way below 1200 if you are morbibly obese, hence extreme weight loses :smile:

    I am going to share that article!
