Artificial food digestibility decrease

+0
−0

Good day fellers. My question is - how can one decrease the digestibility of consumed food?

I mean, if two characters consume the same amount of the same food, the one with such ability will get less calories and nutrients then the one without, but will poop more. I am writing a story, and one of the characters are to install an augment that does exactly what's written above. The augment model is probably some hormone or a enzyme inhibitor solution injected once or on a regular basis.

Amilaze inhibition only prevents carbohydrates from being absorbed, so that answer is partial, as there are also fats, proteins and micronutrients in food.

I tried to search the net, but the only related info is about negative digestibility caused by smoking and/or nicotine, and some articles about raw vs cooked.
