冷水燃烧卡路里
Calories（卡路里）是包含在食物里面的能量，而calories（热量）是提高每一gram水的每一celcius所需要的能量。两者的不同就是一个是大写C（即卡路里）而另外一个是小写c（热量）。
What most people think of as a Calorie is actually a kilo-calorie: It takes one Calorie to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water 1 degree Celsius. So when you drink a 140-Calorie can of cola, you are ingesting 140,000 calories. There is no cause for alarm, because the conversion applies across the board. When you burn 100 Calories jogging a mile, you are burning 100,000 calories.
根据理论表示，如果你喝冷水的话，需要用到比较多的热量来平衡水的温度。不过我还是不建议用这种冷水减肥法，其实平常温度的水就可以了（不过不是汽水果汁之类的）。喝太多冷水会对你的消化系统造成负面影响。
Simply to survive, your brain requires a tenth of a calorie per minute. Compare this with a walk to the doughnut shop, when your body burns approximately four calories a minute. Kickboxing zaps 10 calories a minute. And when you’re hunched over a crossword puzzle? Your brain is blasting through a respectable 1.5 calories a minute. Pass the Cheetos.
不过如果你只是坐着读我所写的东西的话，你还是会消耗掉热量的，因为如果你要或者的话，你的头脑每一分钟需要消耗掉0.1热量。
