Starvation happens when your body is deficient in a vital nutrient (usually carbs or protein) which forces your body to break down lean mass to supply the deficient nutrients. This loss of lean mass is what slows the metabolism. Extremely low calorie intakes cause starvation because the only way to provide that few calories is to short the body of a vital caloric nutrient. Here is a link with more info about starvation. http://www.spartafit.com/articles/requirement%20for%20calories.html<br><b>References : </b><br> Actually, starvation starts at your first missed or deficient meal.

Your metabolism has probably already started to slow down. Just increase your calorie intake gradually, like 1000 tomorrow, 1100 the next day, 1200 the next, etc.<br><b>References : </b><br> Your body goes into starvation mode around 3-4 hours after you've eaten or when your stomach is empty, whichever comes first.
