As we all know, it takes 1 calorie to heat 1 gram of water 1
degree centigrade. Translated into meaningful terms, this
means that if you eat a very cold dessert (generally
consisting of water in large part), the natural processes
which raise the consumed dessert to body temperature during
the digestive cycle literally sucks the calories out of the
only available source, your body fat.
For example, a dessert served and eaten at near 0 degrees C
(32.2 degrees F) will in a short time be raised to the
normal body temperature of 37 degrees C (98.6 deg. F). For
each gram of dessert eaten, that process takes approximately
37 calories as stated above. The average dessert portion is
6 oz, or 168 grams. Therefore, by operation of
thermodynamic law, 6,216 calories (1 cal./gm/deg. x 37 deg.
x 168 gms) are extracted from body fat as the dessert's
temperature is normalized.
Allowing for the 1,200 latent calories in the dessert, the
net calorie loss is approximately 5,000 calories.
Obviously, the more cold dessert you eat, the better off you
are and the faster you will lose weight, if that is your
goal.
This process works equally well when drinking very cold beer
in frosted glasses. Each ounce of beer contains 16 latent
calories, but extracts 1,036 calories (6,216 cal. per 6 oz.
portion) in the temperature normalizing process. Thus the
net calorie loss per ounce of beer is 1,020 calories. It
doesn't take a rocket scientist to calculate that 12,240
calories (12 oz. x 1,020 cal./oz.) are extracted from the
body in the process of drinking a can of beer.
Frozen desserts, e.g., ice cream, are even more beneficial,
since it takes 83 cal./gm to melt them (i.e., raise them to
0 deg. C) and an additional 37 cal./gm to further raise them
to body temperature. The results here are really remarkable,
and it beats running hands down.
Unfortunately, for those who eat pizza as an excuse to drink
beer, pizza (loaded with latent calories and served above
body temperature) induces an opposite effect. But,
thankfully, as the astute reader should have already
reasoned, the obvious solution is to drink a lot of beer
with pizza and follow up immediately with large bowls of ice
cream.
We could all be thin if we were to adhere religiously to a
pizza, beer, and ice cream diet.
