<p><span style='font-family:Arial'> </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Sitting through high school chemistry class one gorgeous
spring day, an equally bored friend of mine and I came up with a sure-fire
diet program based entirely on the thermal properties of water.</span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> Let me run it by
you. In 11th grade chemistry, we were taught that water has a high
specific heat. That is, it takes a lot of heat to raise the temperature
of water even a little. "A watched pot never boils," or so it
seems, because even a gas stove's flames or the red-hot coil of an electric
range can never boil that pot of water quickly enough when you want your
spaghetti. Why? It takes one unit of heat called a calorie (small
"c") to raise one gram of water (which is one milliliter, or ml) by
one degree Celsius (very roughly equivalent to nearly two degrees Fahrenheit,
or F). Sorry about the math anxiety this may be arousing in you, but I'm
going somewhere with this.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> Your body
temperature is surprisingly hot, approaching 100 degrees F (okay, okay,
98.6). "Cold" tap water is perhaps 50 degrees F or less.
Ice is 32 degrees F, and "ice water" might be in the high
30's. If ice water were 38.6 degrees, that is fully sixty degrees lower
than you body temperature.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> Now a dietetic
Calorie (with the large C) is more properly termed a kilocalorie, equal to
1,000 small-c calories. It takes 1,000 little
one-ml-of-water-two-degrees heat calories to make one "food"
Calorie. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> Hmm. A small-c
calorie of heat can only raise one ml of water about two degrees F. A
liter of water is 1,000 ml. One food big-C Calorie is 1,000 little
calories. So you have to burn one Calorie to raise the temperature of
one liter of water two degrees.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> Uh huh. But
that means that to raise the temperature of a liter of ice water sixty
degrees, to body temperature, takes 30 Calories. Two liters would burn
60 Calories.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> Just ten extra food
Calories per day, for ten years, will gain you ten pounds. In other
words, if you eat only ten superfluous Calories each day, you will gain a
pound a year. That is admittedly not much. On the other hand, you
would have real trouble cutting me a ten-Calorie piece of chocolate
cake. On a dessert plate, ten Calories looks almost insignificant.</span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> If, however, you
drank two liters of ice water a day, you will burn 60 Calories each day just
heating to your normal body temperature.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> That is six pounds
per year weight loss: a pound every two months.</span><span style='font-size:
11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> In ten years,
that's 60 pounds of weight lost.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> (That is in fact a
minimum figure. Since one degree Celsius is actually only 1.8 degrees
Fahrenheit, the process will burn about ten percent more Calories.)</span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> Two liters is just
over eight eight-ounce glasses, no more than many a physician would advise
you to drink anyway. Make that water cold, and you burn calories
watching TV. A pound every two months, on ice water. No exercise
factored in; no dietary changes considered. Just add water. Cold
water.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> Ice gouged out vast
river valleys and ice water filled the great lakes; ice sunk the <i
style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Titanic</i> and ice water killed hundreds
of its passengers. Ice water for simple weight loss? What a simple
twist of physics. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> But wait, there's
more. Many a person drinking more liquids will eat fewer
solids. Even water is filling if you drink enough of it. Reduced
food means reduced Calories. Take a daily multivitamin tablet to cover
nutrient losses which are inevitable in any diet.</span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> Americans consume
more soft drinks than all other beverages put together (yes, that includes
milk, tea, coffee, juices, sports drinks, bottled water, liquor, wine and
beer). Drink water instead of pop, and you will be consuming much less
sugar (and fewer Calories) or, in the case of diet pop, far less
of those questionable artificial sweeteners. We'd also avoid the
carbonic acid found in all carbonated beverages, and the phosphoric acid
added to colas. Dentists etch teeth with phosphoric acid, and carbonic
acid isn't much easier on the enamel, either.</span><span style='font-size:
11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> Can we get too much
water? Not easily; your body is naturally mostly water. Your blood is
mostly water. Your food is mostly water. Your bowels and kidneys
require water for excretion of wastes. Why, you were conceived in an
aquatic environment. Too little water is associated with kidney stones,
urinary tract infections, febrile illness, dehydration, and worse.</span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> So drink yourself slim.</span><span

<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> We’re just
warming up. Vegetable juicing is next.</span><span style='font-size:

<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> <b
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>Comedian Dick Gregory came to our college
campus</b> to speak against the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Viet Nam</st1:place></st1:country-region> war. The year was
1970, and the controversy was running high. Draft cards were burned and
demonstrations shut down classes. I personally saw the student body
president, from an overhead stairway, dump the contents of a 50-pound sack of
flour on two Marines at their recruiting table. My hair was a whole lot
shorter than the student president's, but a good deal longer than the
Marines'. At the time I was on the student activities lecture committee,
and we knew full well we were bringing in a speaker who would be as
inflammatory as he was funny. Anything else I knew of Mr. Gregory's politics
came from reading <i>Dick Gregory From the Back of the Bus </i>a few years
earlier.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> I was to be
surprised. Gregory had pledged not to eat until the war was over. He
started his fast at 308 pounds and was down to 135. To save his life,
his promise was amended to not eat any solids until the war was over. <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Viet Nam</st1:place></st1:country-region> went
on for years, so this was no wimp-out. He now lived on nothing but
juice, fresh vegetable juice. In his lengthy speaking contract were
written specifications about which and how many organically-grown vegetables
we were to provide for him. So our lecture committee had gone shopping
for Mr. Gregory, and presented him with two large brown paper bags of fresh
food. He carried them right into the Student Union's now very-crowded press
conference room, put the overflowing bags on the big dark-walnut table, and
casually sat down. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> I was four feet
away from the man. The room was ablaze with the dazzlingly bright
portable white lights of TV reporters. Cameras whirred and clicked and
the questions flew. As he quietly answered, Mr. Gregory calmly commenced
juicing. I don't quite remember where the juicer came from, but there it
was, all right. Cup after cup of orange or green drinks went into the
man. The questions from the press stayed on his anti-war views. I
don't recall any questions about his diet. It was weird to
watch. I thought Mr. Gregory was off his rocker.</span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> Years later, now
pressed into responsibility as Dad of two little children, I was re-reading
Mr. Gregory. Only this time, it wasn't his politics I was interested
in; it was that darn juice thing. In <i>Dick Gregory's Natural Diet for
Folks Who Eat: Cookin' with Mother Nature</i>, Gregory asserted that his kids
had hardly ever been sick. I doubted that. Moreover, he wrote, they had never
been vaccinated and they had never had any of the common and seemingly
inevitable diseases of childhood. This I flatly disbelieved. But, driven
by parenthood, I couldn't avoid being curious how he thought he'd managed
that. I mean, sure he was wrong, but what if he was right?</span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> In college,
Professor John Mosher had taught me that scientists try all approaches until
they find the one that works. At the time, I had listened quite
dispassionately. But now I was faced with science made personal: I had a
family. There not being any way to hurt kids with vegetables, I started
juicing at home. Grumbling like refrigerators that are always running,
my family nevertheless followed Mr. Gregory's health footsteps.</span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> It was successful;
my kids got all the way into college and never had a single dose of any
antibiotic. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> Still more years
later, I learned of people weighing 600, 800, even over 1,000 pounds losing
weight with vegetable juicing when all else had failed. Guess who was
behind it? Dick Gregory. He had been called in to get the morbidly obese
into vegetable juicing, and did it. He got them doing exactly what he
had done, and they lost hundreds of pounds. Plus, they got healthier in
the process. Forget his politics; Gregory's enduring contribution will
be saved lives.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> I myself tried a
half-hearted, perhaps one-third vegetable juice diet and lost over twenty
pounds in three months. It was easy. Getting someone to try it is
the only obstacle.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> To summarize: there
are four "noble truths" of weight loss.</span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> 1. <i>There
is fat</i>. Fat is real, and really unhealthy. Over half of
Americans are overfat, and one in four is obese. If you are overweight,
admit it now before you die early and miss seeing your grandchildren grow up.</span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> 2. <i>There
is a cause of being fat</i>: you are either eating too many Calories, or
burning too few. It's about behaviors, not genetics. If you have
heavy parents and you have heavy children, look for what I call dinner table
heredity. You are not doomed by their DNA. It is far more likely
that you have merely adopted your family's eating habits.</span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> 3. <i>There
is a way out</i>: behave differently. Eat fewer Calories, or burn more,
preferably both. Both are within any human being's power, and don't try
to tell me otherwise. Anyone, even a paraplegic, can exercise. Even in a
wheelchair or bed you can lift small weights to start. And one of the
few genuinely few choices everyone has is what they will or will not put into
their mouths.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> 4.<i> It's
not so much how much you consume, but what you consume a lot of</i><span
style='mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>.</span> Water and vegetable juices
are low-calorie and very, very low-fat. There is essentially no limit to
how much water you can drink, or the amount of vegetables you can
eat. Juicing vegetables is even better. Vegetable juicing increases
both the quantity of vegetables that you will eat, and increases the
absorption of those vegetables. Nutrient deficiency, a common obstacle
with dieting, is therefore nonexistent. Check any nutrition textbook
food chart and you will see carbohydrates, protein, minerals and vitamins are
very well represented in the vegetable family. Fats? Of course not,
but isn't that the idea? The essential linolenic and linoleic fatty
acids are easily obtained with a tablespoon or two of lecithin granules daily. You
can take the lecithin in juice. Lecithin before a meal is a surprisingly
good appetite suppressant, by the way.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> You cannot live on water alone; Mahatma Gandhi and
entirely too many others have approached death after weeks and months of
total fasting. But, like Dick Gregory, you can live for a long time on
vegetable juices alone and be the better for it. The really good news is
that you won't have to. You don't have to quit your job to get a good
summer vacation away from it. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;

<p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> Just try it and see. Christina in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:State> did, and here is her story:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>“In 2003 I weighed 166 at
5'6," wore a size 14, had a heart arrhythmia, chronic ITP (platelets
between 10-20,000, the dangerous range), full-blown ulcerative colitis,
rhinitis, rashes, and anemia. I was 35, grouchy and generally irritable and
fatigued, was on several prescriptions, and felt like I had no more energy
for any activities. Whenever I saw my doctors I was told that surgery,
avoiding certain strenuous activities, and lifelong medication were in my
future. Men rarely gave me a glance, unsurprisingly, and I dressed to
conceal.<br>
<br>
”In 2008 at age 41, I weigh 131 (size 4 or 6), just finished a half
marathon, look like 33 on a bad day, work out six times a week because I am
bursting with energy, am an active member of a gym and a running club have a
generally outgoing disposition. Lunch most days is a large salad with sprouts
and other nutrient-dense vegetables. Now I use my pharmacy only to buy
toothpaste, because all my illnesses are gone, including the heart arrhythmia,
and my platelets have been at 125-135,000 (normal) for almost a year now. I
take no medication, feel like 25, and astound people whom I tell I am 41. I
am brimming with interests, friends, hobbies and activities in addition to my
full time job. I have become so accustomed to admiring looks from men that I
hardly register them anymore. I shop for clothes wherever I want now, usually
fashionable boutiques for younger women.<br>
<br>
”One funny effect of this change in health habits is that
people initially thought I had resorted to some exotic treatment or
procedure because of the dramatic change in my appearance and energy levels.
When I told them what I was doing (not counting calories, not doing Atkins,
not doing Weight Watchers, just cutting out certain foods, taking vitamins
and building my health) I encountered disbelief. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'><span

<p class=MsoNormal><i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>“There are also some funny
moments, such as on the lunch line when I order my organic salad toppings and
always order two portions of sprouts and twice the vegetables the others
order, or when I encounter overweight colleagues in the elevator when I
am carrying my 5-pound healthy lunch upstairs, or on a business trip
when I started peeling a tangerine I kept in my
handbag and the business guys turned to see where the smell was
coming from. Or on another business trip when I had just run a 15 km
race before jumping on an airplane and it turned out that I was the same
age as an overweight, fatigued, graying depressed businessperson in our
group, who the next day skipped lunch with us and ate a granola bar
instead. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>“Another funny effect is
that people who did not know me in the bad old days find it hard to believe
that I was ever overweight or unwell and think I must be exaggerating or even
lying about having been those things. To lighten things up on business
trips, when I take out my pumpkin seeds or piece of fruit or four glasses of
water in a conference room, I say I am a "recovering fat
person" and people are genuinely amazed when I tell them I lost almost
40 pounds. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

I say, "Nope!" and bound out to enjoy the day.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
