Starvation mode...?!
Question:
Starvation mode...?
how come people who don't eat or eat very little lose weight, but than i hear all this crap about your body going into starvation mode and instead of burning fat, it stores it? so, how is it you can still lose weight? i'm confused!
Answers:
When you eat too little, your body's metabolism slows down, so it burns fewer calories - this is "starvation mode." Because you are using fewer calories, you burn less fat and lose more slowly. That's why you feel tired and run down when you eat too little. It's better to exercise and eat enough calories - this makes your metabolism speed up and you lose more quickly.
