| starvation |
Occurs after a prolonged low calorie intake. Anything below 900 calories a day is termed a starvation diet. The body responds to starvation by shutting down "non-essential" systems (for example, menstruation ceases), and lanugo (see above) is also common. Eventually, starvation can lead to serious long-term medical problems and death.
