When a person is on a very low calorie diet without metabolic boosters, the body thinks that there is a shortage of food and that you are starving. Not only do you feel hungry but you feel sluggish and tired. In addition, because the body thinks that you are starving, it does everything in its power not to lose weight. The metabolism slows down and calories burn very slowly. The body tries hard NOT to lose weight.
