"Starvation mode" doesn't exist, it's some myth propagated by a bunch of retards in the fitness industry.
When you go on a diet, your metabolism slows down. This isn't "starvation mode", this is your body adjusting to the decrease in caloric intake so processes like TEF (among other things) are taken down a notch to compensate.
I have never, in all MY years of experimenting with body recomposition/fat loss, seeing others do it and hearing about it, witnessed all this so called extreme amounts of muscle wasting and fat storage that comes out of "starvation mode".
Also, if you will notice, people who have truly starved/wasted away have abs. Horribly underdeveloped ones, but it goes to show that their body burned fat and muscle at the same time.
I've also noticed that once your bodyfat goes below a certain threshold, it becomes suddenly much easier to lose lean muscle mass. This might be what some fitness "experts" refer to when they mention starvation mode. Again, this is in the single digits area, when you're already starting to get pretty ripped anyway, but it doesn't suddenly STOP burning fat, it just burns more muscle along with the fat.
