I have been food dieting for more than 10 years. My body fat is 22%.

My diet is  simple. Just eat little food all day especially rice/noodles especially
dinner,I eat very little. (like 2 tablespoon of rice at most)

My bf asked me stop this for 2 weeks, said I m in starvation mode, more difficult to lose fast.
He said after 2 weeks, only start to go back dieting.
Thts more effective in losing fat.

Is it true?

It is sort of true.
People here have a simple mindset thinking that metabolism remains constant regardless of how little/how much we eat. It is in fact dependent on how much we eat.

Truth is the body adapts to how much you take.
You eat 2000 calories a day and you burn 2000 calories a day (no weight gain)

You eat 1500 calories a day and you burn 2000 calories a day and get 500 calories deficit (<--- assumption, calories in calories out theory)
Truth:- Your deficit drops slowly week by week until your daily calories matches your intake. You might lose 3 kg until the body no longer loses weight because the body metabolism has already adapted to it.
