How many calories must one consume to avoid starvation mode?
You guys are retards. You can eat 5000 calories a day and still go into starvation mode. This is caused by eating one meal a day or not eating often enough. If there is food constantly in your stomach your body will think it doesnt need to store fat and wont. It has nothing to do with how much you eat more so how often you eat.
Starvation mode myth?
It's not a myth, it's just misunderstood. When your body goes into starvation mode you most definitely lose weight. However your body starts to consume large amounts of muscle mass as well as body fat. This is because your body is starving and needs to get it's fuel from wherever it can. So you may end up with a loss in weight that consists of 50% fat loss and 50% of lean mass. Your friend lost 20lb, but perhaps only 10lb of that loss was actually fat. If she had done strength training and consumed a high protein diet, (losing just 1-2lb per week) she may have lost 20lb and perhaps as much as 80% of that would have been fat loss and only 20% would have been loss of lean mass. She would have looked leaner and had a lower body fat percentage than if she had starved herself.

How long does your body stay in starvation mode?
The average body needs about 1700 to 2000 calories a day just to function. Since you cut your calories so low, your body went into starvation mode like you said. So when you jump up to 1600 calories you will probably gain weight, but once you continue with the higher amount it will level off and you will begin losing again, as long as you exercise. Also, at seven hundred calories a day, you were most likely losing muscle mass, and gaining fat. A better way to lose weight is to go from high to low with your calorie intake. An example would be this: Monday - 1300 calories Tuesday - 1200 calories Wednesday - 1300 calories Thursday - 2200 calories Friday - 1700 calories Saturday - 2000 calories Sunday - 1600 calories This way your body does not become used to the same amount each day, therefore it prevents it from going into starvation mode.

Will my body go into starvation mode?
Hi Megan Actually Megan it's been found that decreasing your caloric intake while maintaining a health diet otherwise may actually add as much a 10 to 15% to your life. It's been the one key of long lived people. That is if you hold this diet for most of you life. You shouldn't be go into a starvation mood if you keep this a steady diet. It is people who go on a starvation or crash diet or very high protein diets that have this problem and they also are often without exercise in there plan too, that go into the "Starvation Mode or cycle. In a simply way, this is because they are telling their body's there is lots of food around so during the dieting phase (or famine) and as soon as they increase their Caloric intake again the body chemically tells it there is a good source around so pound on the fat for when there is not food around. Our bodies, chemically, simply can not tell the difference between a famine and a crash diet. That is what cause the starvation mode or cycle to start and once you're in it can be hard to talk the body out it. It can actually take a few years of a steady healthy dieting to get the body out of this mood and if you have done a few crash diets and can be very discourage for those who experience because believe it or not, just looking at something good to diet can chemically turn on the fat production in their bodies for them. That's how sensitive the body can get. In ending you should see your doctor to get his stamp of approval for your diet and a body mass assessment done just for good health; I think a few hundred more calories won't hurt you and may give you a very wonderful figure with the right muscle development in the right places, but that's getting in body building and shaping. But honestly I personally and strongly doubt you have to be concerned about slip in a starvation cycle or more correctly said "Feast and Famine Cycling". You sound like you're on a good path mostly. So for the short lecture but it's tricky not to say less without missing even more points.
