My carbs is always 20 or under. So, being that my calories are so low will that cause me to loose weight slowly because my body thinks it is starving. I am full all day long and I do eat breakfast, lunch, dinner and 2 snacks a day. I drink almost a gallon of water a day. Anyways, bottom line....do I have to eat more calories?

Then all you have to do is up your calories in fats not carbs and you will come out of it.

You are allowed 4 ounces of cheese a day on this diet. If you are not used to eating much meat, eating larger portions of lean meat can confuse your hunger into stopping before you have had enough calories. I have learned to tell the difference. But my boyfriend (who is not on a diet) will eat the same food as me without adding carbs like he should when he's looking through the fridge for leftovers. He ends up eating far less than I do and he should (and I'm eating less than 1000 calories a day), and then he loses weight.

I'm also a bit worried, a few months ago I used to eat like 3.5-5kcal a day, then I dropped to 2kcal per day, now this week I'm in a high-protein diet, eating around 900-1200 cal a day and feeling incredibly satisfied, can the body go into starvation mode and make me retain weight even if I'm not even slightly hungry? I started my weight loss journey seriously on oct 18 of 2012, and so far:
