Beer Diet.

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 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 (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.

Of course, this is crap. But some people actually believe it! There are even books and 'serious' pages about it!! Un-fucking-believable.

Por las leyes de la Termodinámica, todos sabemos que una caloría es la energía necesaria para pasar 1 gr. de agua, de 21,5º a 22,5º C.

No es necesario ser ningún genio para calcular que si el hombre toma una copa de agua helada (200 ml o 200 g), aproximadamente a 0º, necesita 200 calorías para ponerla a 1º.

Para que haya un equilibrio térmico con la temperatura corporal, será necesarias unas 7.400 calorías para que estos 200 grs. de agua, alcancen los 37º de la temperatura corporal (200g x 37ºC).

Y para mantener esta temperatura, el cuerpo usa la única fuente de energía disponible: LA GRASA CORPORAL. O sea, que precisa quemar grasas para mantener la temperatura estable. La Termodinámica no nos deja mentir sobre esta deducción, las Leyes de la Física son inviolables.

Así, si una persona bebe una pinta de cerveza (aproximadamente 500 cc) a la temperatura de 0º, pierde aproximadamente 17.500 Calorías (500 g x 37ºC). Ahora bien. No vamos a despreciar las calorías que tiene la pinta de cerveza, que son aproximadamente 1000 calorías para los 500 grs. Si se restan estas calorías, tendremos que una persona pierde aproximadamente 16.500 Calorías por la ingesta de una pinta de cerveza helada. Obviamente, cuanto más helada esté la cerveza, mayor será la pérdida de calorías.

Como debe estar claro para todos, esto es mucho más efectivo que, por ejemplo, montar en bicicleta o correr, con lo que solo se quemarían unas 1.000 calorías por hora.

Así pues, adelgazar es terriblemente sencillo. Basta con beber cerveza bien helada, en grandes cantidades, y dejemos a la termodinámica hacer el resto.

Por supuesto, esto es una gilipollez como una casa. Pero hay gente que se lo cree, y de hecho hay incluso libros al respecto y 'páginas serias' dedicadas a esta dieta. Un-fucking-believable.
