Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: This is an overstatement. A woman's body doesn't 'shut down', but it is more sensitive to calorie restriction than a man's. Severe calorie restriction can lead to 'metabolic adaptation,' where the metabolic rate slows down to conserve energy. It can also disrupt hormonal balance, potentially leading to the loss of the menstrual cycle—a serious health issue. This is an evolutionary protective mechanism, particularly for reproductive health. 👩🔬
