Food processing plays a crucial role in making nutrients more easily accessible and digestible, ensuring quicker absorption of energy. This increased bioavailability of processed food triggers the body's feedback loops, leading to challenges in maintaining a balance between energy intake and consumption. For instance, reducing energy intake by 200 calories a day generally results in a drive to consume an additional 750 calories due to the powerful hunger feedback loop in the brain. This phenomenon sheds light on the struggle individuals face in sustaining weight loss efforts over the long term, as the body's mechanisms often counteract calorie reduction attempts.
