I'm not sure WHAT the body does, exactly, when it goes into "starvation" mode (and yes, I know we're not talking about anything remotely approaching that), beyond the fact that it will start eating muscle if there's no fat to be had, or adequate stimulus to retain the muscle you have..
Alco's head will explode if he reads that

The reason you get weight loss is that you give your body less calories than what it is used to (maintenance calories). After several months of a deficit does the body "think" that this level is your new maintenance calories?
