The only thing I see is a very unprobable combination of facts, lots of exercise, heavy bodyweight, minimum of calories, 'binging'..., desire to loose 30 pounds
Check the facts and go see a dietist or a doctor is the best I can say.

Don't think I follow you on that one. Last thing I want to go to is a dietist or doctor, all they'll tell me to do is eat from the food pyramid chart, been there, done that, doesn't work. What I was saying in my initial post is that my diet is so satiating because of its high fat and protein, that I don't feel that I'm starving. But when I log my meals into fitday, they'll come up pretty low calorie for the day. Right now, to boost my cals I'm using coconut oil and coconut milk, and that brings me up and over the 1500cal mark.
My speculation however about this whole starvation mode thing though is that it may be more applicable for one following the standard carb-rich diet, if I was eating only 900 cals worth of fruit and bread, darn right I'd be in starvation mode! But compare that to 900cals of fat and protein, how much risk would that be? Besides, I've found that after a couple days of 'circumstantial' low cal/low carb eating, my appetite will increase and hey, I end up eating more. So the body regulates. Think that's called 'inuitive eating' right? I don't think my metabolism is shot, I'm just going through what alot of people do when they reach closer to their goal weight. Everyday is a learning experience, and bit by bit I'm figuring it out, thanks to all the wonderful helpful folks on this forum!
