Starvation Mode - How long to enter?
Hello everyone,
I have been on Atkins for some time now and have been trying to figure out a few things about starvation mode.
How long would you need to eat low amount of calories to get into starvation mode?
A day, two days more. What if you eat low one day and high next day and then repeat, would that put you in starvation mode?
What if you just do a low calorie day once a week and mix up the day, one week Friday, one week Wednesday.
Would that place you in starvation mode?
What if you exercise a lot and normal, but with the high exercise you might not realize that you are actually too low in calories for your activity level (but above 1500 a day), would that place you in starvation mode?
I have not been able to even find an average time a body would place itself in starvation mode, 3 days? A week?
Anyone has any iformation or experiences to share?
Thank you very much for your responses in advance.
If I posted this in a wrong forum, I appologize.
I might also post this in general low carb forum, if it is ok to do it two places.
