Starvashun mode After all this BS fatlogic featured in NYT lately about starvashun mode and how you WILL regain any weight lost and how you should not even try to lose weight or fight the cravings and resist regaining weight after you lost it, all I want to know is how many concentration camp survivors ended up fat later on. Stop doing "studies" on a dozen hams who've been fat since age 2 and pick some people who ACTUALLY endured real starvation and see what happened to them later on in life.  All I've got is n=1 - my greatgreatgrandfather, who spent ten years in a GULAG - and he was never even overweight, let alone obese, his entire life until he went down fighting five male orderlies at the ripe old age of 94.
