Starvation mode is total meme and barely exists, the people in the Minnesota starvation experiment who experienced true very low bodyfat% starvation only had a BMR slow down of ~200kcal/day, which was like ~10-15%

harder as in hunger wise, there's a few reasons for this but one of the main ones is that the fat on your body secretes a hormone called leptin, this hormone suppresses appetite, therefore as you lose fat, you'll have lower levels of leptin and a greater appetite.

It gets even worse though, as there's something called "leptin resistance" (which is exactly what it sounds like), nearly everyone who gets obese at one point in their life will develop leptin resistance and thus will be more sensitive to hunger than people who've never been obese until their leptin resistance is reversed. This is one of the many reasons why a lot of former fatties end up gaining a lot of it back. IIRC Leptin resistance slowly gets reversed if someone doesn't gain a significant amount of fat for several years after initially losing fat.

So yeah, it'll get harder, but I did it, and so can everyone else if they know what to expect!
