Is starvation mode a myth or real? I’ve seen so many people say it’s a myth. Then I’ve also seen so many people give health advice and mention starvation mode. I went to my doctor today who told me I was in “starvation mode” (he didn’t go into a lot of detail about calories or anything) but I don’t know exactly what that means. Again, is it real or fake? I imagine there’s some sort of real aspect to it if a medical professional is referring to it. But what exactly is it & if it is real- how does one fix it? (Hoping I don’t sound utterly stupid…)
