Hi guys, i just registered because i need advice from people who are on similar weight loss programs to myself. Basically i stopped eating junk food completely and cut out all unhealthy foods from my diet, and im living on foods which are diet friendly such as salad wraps, seafood, soup etc. My diet started off great and i lost 10 pounds in just over a month. But the question i have is related to starvation mode. It is recommended for my height and weight (new weight) to eat 1500 calories per day to lose 2 pounds per week, and i keep reading that if you go too low (between 1000-1500 for a male) you can go into starvation mode. The thing is, i only eat when im hungry, 3 or 4 times a day, and i eat untill i am full, but even after this, sometimes i end up only having 1000 calories or 1200 calories day. Will this put me into starvation mode? my diet has only slowed down over the past week/week and a half. This is slightly worrying for me because the reason my calorie intake is low is not because im starving myself, it is because the food i am eating is so low in calories, and i never let myself stay hungry. If im hungry, i eat. But i just hope i dont go into starvation mode and gain weight/stop losing weight because of this.
Can anyone shed any light on my situation or help me out?
