🤔 So is starvation mode even a thing? Is it stopping you losing weight? Lets #CutTheBs

Yes. And No.

📉 When you reduce your calorie intake significantly for a long-ish period of time, your body does adapt to burn less calories.

This is called metabolic adaptation.

Its designed to stop you starving to death. Hence the nickname starvation mode.

🚨 The thing is, it only slows down the ‘automatic’ part of your metabolism - your BMR.

🏃🏻‍♀️ It doesn’t affect what you eat, how much you excercise or how many steps you do a day.

❌ Which is why I say its not the thing stopping you losing weight.

If you are still eating in a calroie deficit, prioritising whole foods and protein, exercising regularly with intensity and hitting your daily steps the chances are you’ll still keep losing weight.

Honestly if your weight loss has slowed down or stopped those would be the first things to double, triple check your consisytency with before worrying about ‘starvation mode’ 🙃
