    "Starvation mode" to *does not exist* - especially for people with under 10 posts! Lol

    Guess I am just crabby today. :-)

      ACV, raspberry ketones, garcina cambogia, et al should all be replaced with *woo*. It would save a lot of time. And while we're at it, please can any mention of Dr Oz, be replaced with *snake-oil peddling scam merchant*.

      Add Keto OS to that list as well please. I'm sick of hearing of that expensive woo.

      Hey look! They've given us a 'woo' button.

      Question: is it "woo" as in "scamwoo," or as in "Woooooooooo!"

      Apparently both, according to the announcements forum post about it. Welcome, ambiguity! ;)

      You can't be that kind if you are that willing to insult all the other reputable snake oil peddling scam merchants out there.

      [ETA - Oh, and I love the new 'woo' button.]

      I said I try.

      Holy kittens a multi-purpose woo button!?
      I'd prob never use a "wooooooo" button other than to cheer for a "woo" button!!

      such potential here!

      I really don't get this. When I Google starvation mode, I am sent to journals about Adaptive thermogenesis, which is a fairly well studied and observed phenomenon. Just like being too hot will cause your body to react and cool down, being too cold will cause cause systems to shut down, not eating or drinking enough will eventually cause your body to protcect vital systems by trying to use less energy and eventually shutting down the less vital systems first, in order to prevent you from losing too much, and dying.
      So what am I missing here?

      The "starvation mode" people talk about has a person staying the same weight (or even gaining) because of eating too few calories and the way to start losing is to eat more calories. Adaptive thermogenesis isn't that.

      There is no such thing as starvation mode. If you eat too few calories, you certainly won't gain weight and you'll lose if you are in a deficit. Adaptive thermogenesis reduces calories out which slows down weight loss because a person isn't burning as many calories as they think they should so their deficit isn't as large as they think it is. It's still all about energy balance.

      Thank you! That makes more sense.
