I think that is some irresponsible and retarded advice since starvation mode always starts at about 1200 calories or less

Unless she's paralyzed, that sounds way too low to me too.
Less than 1200 a day your metabolism slows down and your body thinks your starving it.

Have your mom get a second opinion, ask the dr questions, why only that amount? What kind of diet is he talking about? Is your mom morbidly obese? What is the background here? There has to be more to this story. Have her visit a registered diatician if the Dr gives unsatisfactory answers.

I think she told your mom to eat 1800 calories a day and you mom misheard her and THOUGHT she said 800.
