If you have been eating less calories than expended for 6 months, no amount of overtraining/starvation mode would have held out this long.
Are you keeping a food diary and being completely honest in it, or as you are already doing then see a doctor.
Seen some decent movement on the scales this week to back up what the mirror has been telling me for the last 4 weeks since I completely cut out booze and have tried to avoid fat/sugar combos, and pretending to myself that because I'm doing ironman it's ok to eat more calories than I use in a day!
3kg down on a month ago, having my first rest day in 2 weeks (although I've still got 5 miles of cycling to do!) and looking forward to racing a half ironman in Marlow on Sunday! The only problem is without burning 1-2 thousand calories in a day exercising its a bit hard to stay under my calorie target!
