In the sense that your body will burn muscle when truly starved, yes. In the sense that weight loss caused by eating below maintenance can be magically stopped by the body deciding to ignore its energy requirements, no.
>>
>>35698604
Yes, there are mechanisms that slow down your "metabolism" when you are in either large deficits or prolonged deficits or both. Gene expression and leptin, just off the top of my head, but by and large yeah its a myth. Those types of things aren't applicable to a general population but they are part of the reason that people use things like refeeds and minicuts and sensible deficits.

>>35698604
By the hambeast/normy usage, yes. As a physiological phenomenon, no.

I actually have a question somewhat related to your post.

If you starve yourself to Auschwitz mode, wouldn't it technically be easier to "cut" afterwards?

Just basically turn yourself into pic related, and then eat clean and maintain a outstanding routine to get an amazing body type, but quicker.

Starvation mode makes it easier to lose muscle mass than fat.

Bro thats just that body's genetic setpoint dont you know?

Seemed to be real when I tried water fasting. In two weeks I lost 4lbs and half of it was muscle. That's 0 calories per day for 14 days with ECA to avoid hunger. When I hopped back on what should have been my TDEE, I gained it all back in a week.

>>35698604
No, but it is irrelevant unless you try to lose weight by fasting.

>>35698604

"its a handheld game though anon"

Yes it exists. If your body runs out of fat and muscle stores completey it will slow down your metabolism to avoid catabolizing vital tissues until it has no other choice except that or dying.

You have to be actually starving though. Like little African child starving not Stacey's post-clubbing "omg I haven't eaten since yesterday" starving. I'm talking legit 0% body fat.

If you have the capability of posting on this website you will never come anywhere close to "starvation mode".
