"There has been much debate over whether 'starvation mode' - the idea that the body slows metabolism and conserves energy when you follow a low calorie diet - is fact or fiction.
Now a study may help explain why restricting calories can be an inefficient way to lose weight.
Cambridge University scientists have discovered that key brain cells act as a trigger to prevent us burning calories when food is scarce.
'Weight loss strategies are often inefficient because the body works like a thermostat and couples the amount of calories we burn to the amount of calories we eat,' says lead author of the research Dr Clémence Blouet.
'When we eat less, our body compensates and burns fewer calories, which makes losing weight harder.'
We have known that the brain must regulate this caloric thermostat, but how it adjusts calorie burning to the amount of food we've eaten has been 'something of a mystery', Dr Blouet said."
