Yes, that is what I said.
We're playing semantics at this point, but just to clarify:
The highlighted part in bold is what I, and many others, refer to as "starvation mode."
Yes, technically your body is *always* in survival mode. And yes, the words "starvation mode" may not be in most or any medical dictionaries. However, a lot of doctors still use the term.
Here's one, for example. Even sites like Webmd.com will sometimes use the term in their articles. Whether or not the term is in a medical dictionary doesn't change the fact that many people use and understand the term.

Go to Amazon.com, search for "starvation mode," and see the truth for yourself. Tons of those crazy M.D.'s (who obviously get their information from a forum or friend, not med school) are using the term.
