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 a 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: body fat.
For example: a dessert served and eaten at near 0 deg. C (32 deg. F) will in a short time be raised to the normal body temperature of 37 deg. C (98.6 deg. F). For each gram of dessert eaten, that process takes approximately 37 calories as stated earlier. The average dessert portion is 6 oz. or 168 grams.
Therefore, by operation of thermodynamic law, 6216 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 1200 latent calories in the dessert, the net calorie loss is 6216 minus 1200 or approximately 5000 calories. Obviously it follows that the more cold dessert you eat, the better off you are, and the faster you will lose weight. The process works equally as well when drinking very cold beer in frosted glasses. Each ounce of beer contains 16 latent calories but extracts 1036 calories (6216 cal per 6 oz.portion) in the temperature normalizing process. Thus the net calorie loss per ounce is 1020 calories. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to calculate that 12240 calories (12 oz. x 1020 cal./oz.) are extracted from the body in the process of drinking a cold 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 the opposite effect. But thankfully, as the astute reader by now has already reasoned, the obvious solution is to drink a lot of cold beer with pizza and follow up immediately with large bowls of ice cream.
Cold pizza sounds like a good option to me!
