Ding ding ding!  I love hearing this from 300 pound women who insist they actually gained weight starving themselves because of starvation mode.  Medical personnel have been pulled into this bit of fat logic.  I have a friend who reported his dietitian (DIETITIAN, not nutritionist, not life coach, not personal trainer, but a woman who received a four year degree and passed board exams and is licensed) told him that he needed to eat more because he was eating too little to lose weight, that he was going into starvation mode. We are fucked as a society.  I am convinced of it.
