I read a story once about a guy who puts a treadmill in the basement and imagines as he works out and loses weight the little workers in his body have less work to do.
It’s a horror so they end up getting mad and going after him .. but I kinda like the mental image to lose weight. So I tried to imagine my own little story line about the energy foreman in my body as I work to lose weight …
But it turns out that while I understand the general gist.. im not sure HOW the body turns calories into energy. I know the digestion process removes nutrients to absorb.. but how does that turn into energy?

Through a process called cellular respiration.
All your stomach does is break food down into simple parts, simple sugar, protein, and fat molecules.
Those parts then enter your blood and are pushed around your body and absorbed out of the blood into the cells that need them.
Sugars are your cells main energy source, and they break those sugars down into CO2 and H2O through Cellular Respiration to get energy for the cell.
