No. No one would ever die of starvation if that were true...

Is it true that you will stop loosing weight if you eat too less calories

I heard someone saying she had no apetite and ate about 400 calorie a day and never lost anything in a month

No.

How do you think people starve to death?

Then that person was either way off in counting her calories or she was eating in her sleep because that's a crock.

Don't forget, some people are just habitual liars.

Agreed. That's why I listed some bad excuses for that person. It reminds me of some of the posts here "I eat less than 1000 calories per day and can't lose weight" and there is always something sketchy about that. I feel like people do things like this to keep up the illusion that being of a healthy weight is unattainable, so why not just keep eating to excess and stay overweight? It's easier to eat as much as you want and never move around than to put in even a smidgen of effort either through a calorie decrease, increased physical activity, or some combination of the two.

Your body will loose weight you'll lose muscle mass then won't be able to eat much before you gain weight

So eating way too less makes a person loose muscle and that is whats bad about it
But it doesn't stop weight loss?

I'm starting to suspect you're trolling Are you? Or is this a genuine question after the above replies?

I've heard that if you eat too little your body goes into starvation mode causing your body to store your fat and yes you might lose weight but its muscle ur losing. I could be worng. Just google it and look for a trusted website.

You can't escape the laws of physics. Your body must have a source of energy to take care of the basic bodily functions (e.g., breathing, heart beating, digesting, maintaining core body temperature, etc..) and movement. The only sources of this energy are from food/drinks and parts of ourselves we are able to metabolize. (We can't get energy from the sun or the air, for example.) If you don't eat/drink enough to fuel your bodily functions and activity, then your body MUST get that energy from within. Period. Fat will be the primary source, particularly when it is abundant. But, there will also be some muscle loss. When excess fat is not available, muscle loss will increase and even internal organs.

Weight loss will slow as the person's level of activity decreases to virtually nothing, and their bodily functions begin to shut down, but death will occur before weight loss stops completely. Indeed, in a well known study of people living under starvation conditions, they found the decrease in calories burned (metabolic rate) to be almost entirely due to a decrease in movement. Their metabolic rate returned to normal when they started moving (and eating) normally again.

400 calories a day is far below what the body needs to burn just to exist. They probably failed to mention the gallon of ice cream they binged on every few days.
