everyone keeps suggesting that if we go below the 10x our body weight, then our body will think that we are in starvation mode. this can't be true because on other diet plans (weight watchers, jenny craig, etc.), the idea is to stick to a 1000-1200 calorie diet so where does this whole starvation idea come from? if the other diets say it is o.k. to eat only 1200 calories, then why does everyone on this board keep telling us we wont lose??
