If someone was stranded on an island with nothing to eat except fish and bananas for a month, nobody would try to argue that their body would refuse to lose weight by going into "starvation mode". So why do teenage girls get told by doctors that by not eating they won’t lose weight?
>>77548220Literally nothing you just said made any sense.
>>77548222Doctors and psychologists tell anorexic girls that you don’t lose weight by starving yourself because your body panics or something
>>77548220Starvation mode just means your body will hold on fat as much as possible and will gladly burn through your muscle. So instead of looking like a slim kpop singer, you will look disproportionate and unhealthy. And on top of everything, malnutrition will make you look like shit.
>>77548220When was the last time you ate whatever you wanted for more than a week? You are lifting weights, not prancing around in tights.
>>77548220>>77548232>muh starvation modeIs largely, even if not completely, a myth.Here's how you get in starvation mode:>eat at caloric deficit>eat very little protein in relation to carbs and fat>don't use your muscles for any strength-demanding activity whatsoeverAnd even then you WILL burn fat, but you'll also burn muscle at a rate near 50/50, which you can't really afford unless you started at peak The Rock body composition.
>>77548220There is a threshold where you get extremely shitty gains, look at how well lifting goes for people who think it makes them better by foodcucking.
>>775482291. Your original post still makes absolutely no sense2. No they don't
>>77548339Yall just aren’t in anorexic circles
>>77548349You have no idea what you are talking about
>>77548353Im wrong about doctors telling anorexic patients that they won’t lose weight if they don’t eat? Ok
>>77548220>test dropsThis is the biggest problem, you are best off just getting more muscle than spinning your wheels in the low T zone trying to be lean and dehydrated.>I ate a lot for 2 days straight and gained heckin 15 pounderinosNo you rehydrated your fat cells. That is actually where you want to be most of the time to not nuke your health but no keep counting your calories and whatever other useless ritual you do.
>>77548229white lie perhaps? flawed approach but if they legitimately said you dont lose weight and ended the conversation, it would be a shortsighted method of discouraging starving ones self
>>77548220>regaining hydration while having been nutritionally deficient from itYour fat stores will look bad and looking at the scale and mirror will trick you in terms of what is best long term. >body has less food or water than it optimally does so it makes your body burn less calories>bad hormones -> fat storage becomes less healthy and eating a lot for a week would appear to have fucked up your physique but that is simply what you look like carbed up and hydrated
>>77548220Doctors don't even lift, they wanna tell you what'll help but haven't really put in the hours lifting weights or getting fucked up to bring them to such levels of enlightenment.
>>77548248what the fuck does this even mean
>>77548232>here's the deal you stupid CHUD, the body just evolved to burn its means of movement before it starts reducing the size of its energy storage organThis is the dumbest shit I've ever heard.
>>77549029the body adapts to the way you use it, you fucking retard. look at endurance runners/cyclists. those guys have barely any muscle and they actually move more and train than you ever will. if you're actively using muscles, they WILL vanish during a cut. i once had a period where i spent 2 months training for a half marathon, lost 20lbs, and just did occasionally did some bodyweight shit like pushups and chin-ups. the results were disastrous in terms of keeping muscle.
>>77549050They have little muscle because they've already burned off most of their fat reserves first, retard.
>>77548356Yes.That claim is beyond absured and you have no evidence for it because you entirely made it up.
>>77548220>>77548232Yeah the body doesn't work like that. It's true that your metabolism can slow down in situations of low calorie intake, but that's just an effect of moving less due to lower energy levels. If you keep moving and exercising while starving your body will keep burning through calories, and you will feel like shit and lose a lot of weight.The truth is that your body uses your fat storages for energy but to do so it first needs sugar to initiate bets oxidation of fatty acids, and it gets it from glycogen in your muscles which at first will make you look thinner because your muscles are deflated but muscle mass will remain sililar. After several days your glycogen is exhausted and the next source of sugar is amino acids from the muscles. You can imagine the rest, it's a cycle.If you are able to get a source of sugars and external amino acids your body will burn through that first to initiate and keep the oxidation of fatty acids. That's why nutritionist tell you to keep eating to lose fat.But in no way "starvation mode" ignores laws of thermodynamics. Energy expended is mass expended.TL;DR: starvation mode doesn't stop you from burning calories. You don't lose muscle instantly but you get thinner as glycogen storages diminish.
>>77548245>>77549029>>77549125All I was trying to say is that starving yourself will make you lose weight, but you won't look aesthetic. You will lose a lot of muscle and you will look like shit. That's what people call "starvation mode", but it is not magic, it's just that you are losing weight the wrong way
>>77548356i'm not seeing any dr's saying it in anything you posted anon, just screen-caps; which are easily faked.cite your sources ma nigga or take the L and hush up
Your body clearly ate away your brain instead. I swear every anorexic woman ive met online is permanently stuck at whatever age she started restricting.
