Deep dives

Debunking Starvation Mode

The notion of 'starvation mode' is a prevalent myth in the nutrition community, suggesting that consuming too few calories causes the body to stop losing weight. However, this idea is theoretically and practically flawed. Research indicates that individuals on low-calorie diets often experience significant weight loss rather than stalling, emphasizing that one cannot eat so little that their metabolism entirely shuts down. Studies, including controlled trials demonstrating weight loss on diets as low as 800 calories per day, provide substantial evidence refuting the starvation mode theory.
