Antifood - Eat more to get skinnier

[Fluidic Kimbo]

Let's say we have an item of food that contains 500 joules of energy. And let's say that our body expends 40 joules of energy to digest it. So the total gain from eating this piece of food is 460 joules.

If we could create food that costs more energy to digest than is in the food, then people can eat more and more and more of this food to get skinnier and skinnier and skinnier.

Now I know we have matter and antimatter but I don't think swallowing antimatter will help here. But what might help is chiral mirror-image molecules of food that we regularly eat (for example left-handed sucrose instead of right-handed sucrose).

The idea is that our body would waste energy digesting these foods and not actually gain any energy from them. So we would burn fat by stuffing our faces with food.

Of course it might be tricky to get this antifood to taste nice.

If this becomes a reality in 2050, you know it was Kimbo who came up with in 2021.

You can already get pretty close to negative-energy food with lettuce and celery (I believe you end up still netting 25% of the calories they contain after digestion). But really though, instead of paying for negative-energy food, you'd probably be better off just not eating so much of the foods that made you fat.

Just need to do more naked pull ups

Is this what too many steroids do? Granted, you have a great physique, but naked pull-ups? I’m trying to de compress here, to relax before bed, AND I GET THIS ?!?

You missed a step Prox...Kimbo posted a YouTube video of himself knocking some nudies out. I was alluding to that
