∙ 13y agoStarvation mode is a survival phase your body goes into when you don't eat. You at first feel exhausted, due to the lack of food. Your less necessary body functions will stop first, such as the production of insulin in your pancreas. Then you will get dizzy and probably vomit a lot. After too much time, Your vital organs shut down and you die. Appetite is lost during starvation for some reason. Even though your body needs food, it doesn't want it.
