Eating at a ~500 calorie deficit is not starving.

Call it what you want but for some unlucky people when they run a deficit they completely shut down mentally. Their ability to lose weight is entirely dependent on how long they're able to avoid doing any mentally taxing activity.

I get major brain for on intermittent fasting. I have to spread out my protein and carbs over the day, so for me calorie restriction works best.
