Yeah.  I think you're right.  If your caloric intake gets too low your body thinks its starving and slows down your metabolism.  Its a challenge to find the right pace to lower your intake while keeping your metabolism high.  Take a look at the glycemic index (google it).  There are foods that are good to eat together and can help your body balance itself out.  Good luck!

I had lost 11 lbs in 3 weeks and then all of a sudden I hit this big sad plateau.  So my husband and I went through my food diary that I had on another site and it said I was getting between 500-1000 calories a day.  I wasn't meaning to by all means.  I thought that I was getting the 1200 calories a day and I watched what I ate and no soda(big soda drinker here) and I worked out everyday except the weekends and I just walked thoughs.  I'm thinking that my caloric in take was too low as well.  There is still so much I need to learn.  Thank you jenandjon
