Starvation Mode: True starvation mode is dangerous, rare, and occurs when the body has little fat storage (5%) and begins to use protein. Metabolic adaptation is commonly seen with those losing weight and occurs throughout a person's weight loss efforts. It's common to lose more the first 2 wks on a diet then taper to approximately 2-8 lbs/month. Don't expect to lose every week. Look at the average per month.
