No, your body cannot go into starvation mode if you don't eat for up to 12 hours. It is quite normal for the body to do without food for that length of time, for example from the time you have your evening meal until breakfast the next day.

The term breakfast itself means to literally break the fast from not eating since dinner the previous day. It is important to eat breakfast so that your body does not enter starvation mode.

Once you eat after starvation mode has kicked in, your body will hold on to every calorie you intake until it is sure your are going to feed it on a regular basis, which will cause you to gain weight.
