According to her, this kicks in at 24 hours, contrary to all research on subject. Jfc, do they even have to go to school for this crap? She works in a hospital spewing this crap.

nutrition science is in its infancy. they have no idea what they're doing. eat real whole food, don't overeat, get sufficient exercise daily. beyond that it's like getting medical advice from a 13th century doctor.

cutting out the 500 calories worth of bread, rice, and candy you eat every day that you never needed in the first place isn't going to put you into "starvation mode."

"In general, it's true that metabolic rate tends to drop more with more excessive caloric deficits (and this is true whether the effect is from eating less or exercising more); as well, people vary in how hard or fast their bodies shut down. Women's bodies tend to shut down harder and faster.

But here's the thing: in no study I've ever seen has the drop in metabolic rate been sufficient to completely offset the caloric deficit. That is, say that cutting your calories by 50% per day leads to a reduction in the metabolic rate of 10%. Starvation mode you say. Well, yes. But you still have a 40% daily deficit."

nutrition snobs are hilarious. there was one poster arguing with me one time that his gut flora prevented him from losing weight. he'd link all these studies. he was mcdonalds-threading later that month.

If you go into starvation mode then you will just go on an overeating RAMPAGE later on. You know why those holocaust victims were so thin? BECAUSE THE NAZIS WERE STARVING THEM AND THEY WEREN'T ALLOWED TO OBTAIN FOOD.

Grrr shitthins make me so fucking mad.

Isn't the issue with "starvation mode" not that your metabolic rate drops significantly but that you start catabolizing muscle?
