Is 'starvation mode' just a myth & how many calories keep a steady rate of weightloss combined with exercise and healthy eating.

It's a fact that your metabolism drops when you don't eat and speeds up when you do.

Calculate your BMR and go from there.

eating healthy and aerobic exercise such as swimming is sufficient and good for you.

5 calories for every pound of body weight, and as high a fraction of that in the form of sugar as possible

There are 2 kinds of starvation, caloric and nutritional. Caloric is not enough calories for your body to function. In extremes it can lead to lots of shit up to and including death, but there will be weaknesses and sickness along the way. Fit wise, you'll convert most of your energy to fat for storage, so yes its true.

Nutritional is equally dangerous, and comes not from eating too little, but getting too little value out of your food. If all you ate were diet sodas, celery, and lard (or you just eat so little that...) you wont get enough nutrients and you'll start to get ill.

Never eat less than 1750 calories in a day and supplement low calorie diets with a multivitamin.

Mostly correct, although quite a few people can function just fine under 1750. Every person has their own cutoff, and unless you're really trying to not eat much, you probably wont reach yours.

Yes, people who are under like, 115-120 or so pounds probably can function lower, but to people who are overweight, I don't like recommending them to go under 1750 for a variety of reasons including the starvation/rebound risk and the fact that its not a lot of food so people get cranky and quit. = \
