Hi there Milmndude,
"Starvation mode" usually refers to the number of calories eaten (or not eaten! ).
From time to time, I've seen members post that their weight loss starts off well, then slows down and stops and it turns out that they are only eating about 1000 cals or less. Most of us need at least 10 cals per pound of body weight.
Not that I'm suggesting you not increase your carbs. We are all individuals, and if more carbs make you feel better, by all means have some more. Just make sure the carbs come from healthy sources such as vegies, rather than sugars. I have also seen many folk find their weight loss is better once they've increased their carbs.
Cheers!
Rosebud
