@edean331 a quick question. How do you explain how anorexics, holocaust survivers etc etc continue to lose weight til they're skin and bone? Why don't they hold on to every calorie they consume and turn it into fat?
I have asked this question dozens of times in response to starvation mode posts, and have yet to receive one reply, not even an attempt at an explanation. . Nothing, zero, naught!!
Anorexia is self starvation. Why do you think our bodies naturally store excess calories as fat?0 -

Yes, but how do they get to such low weights and continue to lose, why doesn't their weight loss plateau, why don't their bodies store the fat when they do eat?
I have seen people on here told that they are in starvation mode when they have 100lbs to lose. Can someone please explain how a 250+lb person is starving? :huh:0 -

Starvation is a process. Your body has built in safe guards to try and keep you alive. You just don't suddenly die from starvation. Eventually though, your body will use up every available energy source.0 -

Say my TDEE is 2000, if i eat 2500 calories everyday I will gain weight, if i eat 1500 calories everyday i will lose weight.0 -

..yes. If you eat in a deficit, the excess fat is used as energy. So explain again how you think starvation mode works. Because I'm convinced you're just trolling now.

I never said it did. Your body simply knows if it has the necessary energy source to keep you alive. Rather if it's self induced or not.0 -

Holocaust survivors? Anorexics? Your talking about people that maybe ate 300 calories a day if that. Of course they are gonna continue to lose weight until they're bones. That's not even a good comparison.1 -

There is a huge difference between "starving" and not eating enough calories. 300 calories vs 1000-1200 is a huge difference. You can't compare them. 300 is piece of bread. 1000 can be a good amount of food if it is clean food.0 -

I'm lost, sorry! What is your point? Your body does not store fat in a deficit.0 -

Again, you are talking about starvation. Again, starvation is not a one step process. Lets say your BMR is 2,000 calories, and your TDEE is 2,300 calories. If you eat at a 500 calorie deficit, then you would only be 200 calories under your BMR. So your body will burn fat as energy to make up for the defecit. If you were to lower your calorie intake enough. Your body will make changes to your metabolism to maintain homeostatic balance. Which in turn affects your hormones. Eat in a large enough deficit, or not at all, and your body will enter into starvation.0 -

I spent nearly 2 years living an incredibly unhealthy lifestyle, sometimes only eating a tin of ricecream every day or 2. I lost an obscene amount of weight and continued to do so until the bitter end.
I started off at a normal weight, not overweight at all.

You clearly just said "sometimes only eating a tin of rice cream " that's called starving yourself it's not the same.exactly why you can't compare starvation with a big deficit0 -

So, you starved yourself then?
Pretty much, although i did have days in there where i ate decent amounts of food. On those days, the calories should have stuck to my hips like glue.
I just can not fathom how an overweight or obese person can be starving themselves, they have plenty of fat stores to live off, until they don't and get an ideal weight.
@cgvet37 have you read this article? It explains it far better than i can. Please give it a chance and read it from beginning to end (it's not long). I would be interested to hear your views on it
