Is "starvation mode" a myth?
Exceptions to calories in calories out? Why is the "metabolism excuse" only accepted for skinny people--or is it?

People generally have no fucking clue how many calories they're eating, be it too many or not enough.
There are no excuses or exceptions, only ignorance.
Jacob Rodriguez
Starvation mode is not a meme if you're actually literally starving. For the people using starvation mode as an excuse, it is.
Gabriel Adams
>excuses
If you're looking for excuses for being fat or why you cant lose weight, you are the real problem.
Stop cheating yourself because the only thing you're hurting is you, you fucking fatty
Nolan Hill
It happens when you're dangerously underweight. People misuse the word when their weight loss stalls (they consume less energy as they've gotten smaller already).

>calories in calories out
it will let you lose weight or gain weight, but some people act as if changes in diet didn't change hormone levels, effecting your body composition, energy, sexual activity, hunger/satiety
Also eating sugary/carbs (any food sure but specifically sugar) after a workout as opposed to after rest changes the metabolism of that fuel.
If you're gonna cheat meal, exercise (even if only calisthenics) beforehand.

Things that prove Starvation mode:
Nothing. Fatties just can't count their calories.

Starvation mode is only real to the extent that you get tired when you don't eat as much and your body temperature declines very slightly. At the cellular level, there is a shift from protein replacement to protein maintainence mediated by IGF-1 and mTORC1, but that probably isn't as important as earlier research made it out to be.
David Cruz
Why does everyone except Veeky Forums acknowledge starvation mode tho? Weight watchers, my fitness pal, health magazine, idk most diets
Austin James
Because it gives fatasses an excuse as to why they're not losing weight that isn't their own fault because they can't count their calories.
Henry Gonzalez
Veeky Forums isn't trying to make money off fatties. Everything you listed IS trying to make money off fatties.
Juan Wilson
Starvation mode happens when you have bmi of like 12. If you fast at an average or above average weight you'll feel shitty at first, but you absolutely will not die.
Aiden James
This. People should just fucking read that reddit post about that fat kid who went over a year without eating and lost like 200 pounds.
Daniel Adams
200 pounds is like 4 pounds a week, which is doable for a fatty. Kid probably damaged his body more in that year than he did in all the years of being fat combined.
Adam Williams
Starvation Mode: Fatties eating while unconsciously ignoring the fact that they are eating, leading to underreported and forgotten kcalories.
>t. Skinny guy in a fat family

James Williams
He was an extreme example, but it shows starvation mode is complete bull.

>LOL starvation is a myth! you're fine not eating for a while lol
>OH BUT FASTING IS A MEME LOL YOU'RE GONNA DIE IF YOU FAST FOR A MONTH!!!!
Jack Brown
as most mom-science blogs put it, yes
but anyone who has ever cut for a prolonged period of time knows that your TDEE really does drop quite a bit, and not just due to your weight decreasing
most of this is due to hormonal factors like this fag talks about but also due to non exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) being downregulated on a cut
how to get around this: take breaks from your cut, every 6-8 weeks do 2 weeks at maintenance to let everything unfuck itself (unless you're really fat then keep going)
Jonathan Morris
>industry that depends on people being fat gives said people advice that keeps them fat
oh, gee I dunno
Justin Nguyen
Who are you quoting?
Tyler Nelson
Lmao none of these fucking people have actually starved. The longest I've ever gone was 4 days and it was debilitating. To suggest that it's a diet strategy is rediculous. It hurts to even eat at all after that long and your mind/body feels completely drained (suprise!). Fucking fatasses.
Cameron Davis
>Is "starvation mode" a myth?
starvation mode happens when you are actually starving - as in, eating extremely little food, or nothing at all.
when this happens, your body starts catabolizing muscle tissue to gain energy and reduce expenditure. your BMR goes down, you lose muscle mass, you have low energy and feel like absolute shit. this is what happens if you follow a shitty or excessive diet.
as for fatties using it as an excuse, it's just bullshit. these landwhales haven't experienced a day of starvation in their entire life.
Carter Wilson
it's almost as if a random collection of people don't have consistent opinions
Oliver Sanchez
Sticky says it's not good but I am not too sure, I read about a guy was a fat fuck and lasted 380 days eating nothing and drinking only water and sometimes tea / black coffee. When he finished it said he suffered no bad affects from starving himself
Kevin King
Even then, it's not like people in starvation mode gain weight. They still lose weight because law of thermodynamics. Their metabolism just drops to the floor because organs are failing, brain is shutting down and muscles are gone.
