- One strategy when on a diet is to drink ice water. The body must burn calories to warm the water from 0°C to a body temperature of 37°C. Assume a dieter drinks 2.3 kg (i.e., 2.3 L) of ice water every day. The specific heat of water is 4.186 × 103 J/(kg⋅°C). Part (a) How much energy, in joules, does the dieter’s body need to provide in order to warm the water over a full year. Take 365 days in a year. Part (b) One pound of fat supplies 3500 kcal (Cal) to the body, where 1 kcal (Cal) = 4.186 × 103 J.
