If this is true then why were Holocaust victims skinny? There must be more to this concept than what ignorant people are talking about it.
i keep hearing people preach this shyt, that i HAVE to have a cheat meal in order for my body to think its not starving. But I srsly dont want to cheat. Im perfectly fine cutting without cheating.
what should I do?

I agree with what you're saying about starvation mode, it is broscience..
But usually they just tell you to have a cheat meal to help you stay on your diet or structured refeeds to help boost metabolism/refill glycogen.Firefighter/EMT/Personal Trainer

so if we starve a little bit then the body wants to store it, but if we starve dangerously then the body just it?
Something is unclear about this starvation mode concept...
i guess im just a little worried because iv been at a deficit for a while now and haven't really lost much.

IMO it Depends on bodyfat %, you could benefit from it if you are doing long bouts of cutting, have low carb intake. Some guys that are very lean (sub 10%) do 2 refeeds a week.
If you dont want to cheat or refeed then just wait until you happen to have a horrible craving for something or go out to with friends, etc.. I use to never cheat or refeed but in the past few months i've noticed better results being more relaxed on my diet (IIFYM and refeeds)Firefighter/EMT/Personal Trainer

Maybe mental? Just sayin'.
A&P taught me starvation mode is a myth. You're body will continue using fat as fuel until you are <5% body fat, then it will slowly begin to break down it's own tissues for energy, then start to shut down.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.The trick is to keep breathing...
