Take a book and grind it ito a powder. Can you read it in powder form? No. What has changed? It no longer functions as a book. Is it still a whole book?
If I could take your car and grind it into a powder, would you be satisfied that you still own a whole car?
So we're talking about how something functions when you change its form. Whole (unprocessed) grain (like whole wheat berries) takes longer to digest and thus tends to keep your blood sugar (and insulin) steady, rather than spiking. So your hunger is more likely to be satisfied for a longer period of time.
