  • Looks like all these differing (but good) points of view may say that 'Starvation Mode' is a theory, rather than a fact or myth. I just know from my experience that eating a decent amount of good, healthy, whole foods has helped my metabolism & digestive system more than I could imagine. Very interesting to see all…
