For example, a dessert served and eaten at near 0 degrees C (32.2 deg. F)will in a short time be raised to the normal body temperature of37 degrees C (98.6 deg. F). For each gram of dessert eaten, thatprocess takes approximately 37 calories as stated above. The averagedessert portion is 6 oz, or 168 grams. Therefore, by operation ofthermodynamic law, 6,216 calories (1 cal./gm/deg. x 37 deg. x 168gms) are extracted from body fat as the dessert's temperature isnormalized. Allowing for the 1,200 latent calories in the dessert, the netcalorie loss is approximately 5,000 calories.
Obviously, the more cold dessert you eat,the better off you are andthe faster you will lose weight, if that is your goal.This process works equally well when drinking very cold beer infrosted glasses. Each ounce of beer contains 16 latent calories,but extracts 1,036 calories (6,216 cal. per 6 oz. portion) in thetemperature normalizing process. Thus the net calorie loss perounce of beer is 1,020 calories. It doesn't take a rocket scientist tocalculate that 12,240 calories (12 oz. x 1,020 cal./oz.) areextracted from the body in the process of drinking a can of beer.
Frozen desserts, e.g., ice cream, are even more beneficial, sinceit takes 83 cal./gm to melt them (i.e., raise them to 0 deg. C) and anadditional 37 cal./gm to further raise them to body temperature.The results here are really remarkable, and it beats running handsdown.
Unfortunately, for those who eat pizza as an excuse to drink beer,pizza (loaded with latent calories and served above bodytemperature) induces an opposite effect. But, thankfully, as the astute readershould have already reasoned, the obvious solution is to drink alot of beer with pizza and follow up immediately with large bowls ofice cream.We could all be thin if we were to adhere religiously to a pizza,beer, and ice cream diet.
Happy eating!
