I'm perfectly willing to be shown that I'm wrong, but I'll need more than just a sentence from you saying so.
You said "proved" - can you show me the proof?
Probably the best and most researched article on this.

Basically, you can certainly go into starvation mode, but not in any reasonable amount of time. Skipping meals or even fasting for a whole day will not cause "starvation mode". Prolonged calorie restriction can affect hormones like Leptin and affect energy expenditure.
