Hello
Can someone explain to me why the body does not go into starvation mode on a VLCD?
I always thought that on a starvation diet(where the body gets less than 50% of the calories needed) lead to weight loss at first but then the body started storing its own fat supplies as it didnt know when the next meal was coming.
Do VLCD`s work because they have all the correct vitamins etc in them? Would a low calorie/low carb diet not work so effectively?
