The starvation diet is a pretty simple idea really, if you don't eat or eat very little, you can't gain weight...

During Starvation mode the body will only first burn off your fat reserves after it exhausting the contents of the digestive tract (what you just ate), and then your glycogen reserves stored in your muscles and liver cells...

You should be familiar with this question from those around you, “Why don’t you eat less” Yes, I know, it’s frustrating...
