Here's what I mean by that: the digestive and assimilation process is in fact an energy-intensive one. At the onset of eating, we begin spending digestive resources in an effort to convert energy stored within food—aka calories—into usable sustenance to fulfil our biological requirements. And, as we know, whenever energy is transferred from one form to another, there’s an inherent loss. However, the amount of energy loss in this process varies greatly and depends on the foods eaten. Highly processed, refined, denatured food requires that significantly more digestive energy be spent to break it down in the process of transferring its energy to us: “net energy gain = energy remaining once digestive energy has been spent” While it’s true that a calori
