The metabolic effect you're describing is called "starvation mode" by a lot of people and while its technically real its actually quite a bit smaller than most people think, and can easily be countered by adding a work out to your routine. If you think youre not losing weight because of it, (or gaining weight, as some people claim) I would bet you're actually not counting all your calories throughout the day.
