So you're in the group that doesn't believe the body will go into
"starvation mode" and hold onto fat reserves when calories drop too low for
extended periods of time?

I strongly suspect that these reports are just plain wrong. A person who is
sufficiently calorie restricted for a time goes a bit crazy. A third party
check of the food consumption would likely show that the period of low
calories was followed by a period of high calories. The measurement method
of the calories is suspect too.

At times there have been calorie claims where there was no measurement at
all. They guess at what they felt they were doing.

Calorie restriction is immensely unpopular. People will rationalize
anything to get more food in their mouths.
