However the body has one thing which actively works against you. It's the most efficient engine known to man. The calories delivered by even the lightest foods render many times more energy than is required to digest them, the effect of consuming them results in a net energy loss.Low nutrient, high cellulose foods like those listed in the below list are generally agreed to consume slightly more energy to digest than they provide nutritionally.
