We can actually reach a point where our body goes into starvation mode and it begins to store food, especially carbs, and slows down the metabolism. Often dieters think if they just eat very little it will help, it actually hurts in more ways than weight loss.

I know first hand. I've done it to myself a few years back was down to eating around 1500 calories a day weighing 290.
