The Calorie Illusion: Why Your "Supply Chain" Is Not a Calculator
Did you know that a calorie is just a measure of heat? In a lab, scientists literally burn food to see how much energy it could produce. But your body isn't a furnace—it's a biological system with "taxes," "friction," and "gatekeepers".
Standard food labels are based on calculations from the 1890s that ignore how your body actually works.

Unmasking Visceral Fat: The Hidden Dumpster Fire Inside Your Body
Populations adapted by developing energy-conserving physiology — efficient fat storage, early insulin resistance (to prioritise glucose for the brain), and lower lean muscle mass.
But when this “thrifty” biology meets modern abundance — high-refined-carb diets, low physical activity — the same traits become maladaptive:→ less muscle mass, less subcutaneous storage, more spillover into visceral depots.
