Hey Sarah,

     "Starvation Mode" and "Starvation Dieting" are two different animals.

     Starvation Mode is a bodily state where many of the bodily processes
slow down or stop entirely in reaction to a decrease in available food
sources(calories of any kind), the onset of this condition(Mode) varies by individual
it is not a diet or lifestyle.

    A starvation diet is where you consume a level of food source which provide
much less than your body requires for normal body functions. I would never
advise this diet or lifestyle for anyone.

    You are 100% correct, FTS is a replacement style low carb diet and lifestyle.
Following FTS should never and I say again never lead anyone into or even
near a "Starvation Mode" , there is just too much and too many great food recipes
and choices not to enjoy eating while losing weight. I know I sure have enjoyed
myself on FTS.

always with respect and dignity to their person and opinions.

Buford, I'm a child at heart. Thanks for sharing. I tried starving myself once long ago. Lost 20 pounds. I was skinny, but very tired and mentally dull. Started eating 'normally' and packed on 40 pounds immediately. Note to self: Don't do THAT again!

I should have added "Wise" to my statement.

I hear ya, Doug!

There are a LOT of variables that go into what happens to our bodies as we change how we eat.
That's why the process of losing weight is so complex.

Like everything else, there is a balance at work.
Eat too much... Gain weight.
Eat too little... lose weight TOO fast and from muscle & organs.
Eat just what the body needs and not more... Natural, healthy weight loss will occur.

One thing is sure... If the body does not consume food that provides enough energy to sustain itself, it will pull from other sources available.
It must do this to survive.

I agree!!!
