We all know that it takes 1 calorie to heat 1 gram of
water 1 degree Celsius. 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 near 0 degrees
C (32.2 deg. 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 (12oz. 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) includes and 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 should all be thin very soon if we adhere
religiously to this cold pizza, cold beer, and ice
cream diet.
