Negative Calorie Drinks? Anti-matters? How to make your own~/ 負熱量飲料？反物質？怎樣自己做〜

Notice

I am trying a new layout for my post, instead of dividing the post into each paragraph English and Chinese, I will try to write the whole thing out at once. Before switching to another language.
我嘗試把帖子換一個新的佈局， 不像之前把帖子的每段分成英文和中文，我將先用一種語言把整個內容寫出來再切換到另一種語言。

I came across this advertisement few days ago while I was waiting for the MTR, and overheard someone nearby questioning about Negative calorie, they seems confused, and think of it as something like anti-matters in physics.

Negative Calories = Anti-matters?

NO, this can does not contain anti-matters, it does not simply remove the fat in your belly by drinking. But its Negative Calorie, so what is Negative Calorie??

To begin, let’s first talk about calories. Calories is actually the unit of energy, the amount of energy required to increase 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius. This unit is frequently used as the unit for food energy, so if a snack has a label saying per 100g, there are 394kcal, that means with 100g of that snack, you can heat up the 100g of water by 3.94°C. And experimentally the food is really burnt to heat up the water, in the calorimeter to determine the calorie~

So how can we get negative calories??

You cannot simply burn something to cool the water down….This concept of negative calories actually does not reference to the burning food and raising water temperature. It is more like food that have negative calorie impact on you. Or put it in simple term, you need to use more amount of energy from your body to break down the food, that amount of energy is less than the amount of energy you can gain from digesting the food.

So what that drink does, is actually containing ingredients that are of low calorie value, at the same time contain a lot of dietary fibers. Dietary fibers are good candidates for negative calories, as some components like cellulose, we do not contain the enzymes required to digest them. Yet our bodies are performing multiple processes in our digestive system trying to break them down. This input of energy for digestion cannot be recovered from the dietary fibers, so our bodies lose energy as a whole. This is where the gimmick term Negative Calories comes into play~ You drink this and can help you lose weight~

In my opinion, this is possible, but not practical

How to make your own negative calories drink, cheap and easy!!

Ingredients:

• Drinkable water, can be distillated, or mineralized

Kitchen-ware:
-Fridge and freezer

Procedures:
-Divide the drinkable water into two portions
-Put one portion into the fridge
-Put the other portion into the freezer
-Keep the water in the corresponding kitchen-ware for over 2 hours
-Perform regular check on the portion of water in the freezer
-Once it turn from liquid to solid, immediately transfer into the water from fridge.

Consume the drink as soon as possible, along with the solid water.

Ice cold water theoretically contains no calories, and while you are drinking it, your body use energy to heat up the water to your body temperature, that’s just what Negative calories are gimmicked as. (But I don’t think any girls will follow my recipe for the Negative Calorie drink)

Side notes
Calories is actually not a standard SI unit, joules is the official unit for energy!! And roughly 1 calories is equivalent to 4.2 joules, or 1 kcal = 4.2 kJ !! People often mistake the two units and undervalued or overvalued the energy content of the food. So be very careful~

我在等地鐵時看到這個廣告，同時又偷聽到附近有人在討論有關負卡路里的事，他們對負卡路里又不什了解，什至以為是物理內那些反物質似的東西。

負熱量 = 反物質?

其實那些不是什麼反物質，它不能單單地通過喝一罐就能去除你的肚子裡的脂肪。但那些負卡路里是什麼？

首先，我們來談談卡路里。卡路里實際上是能量的單位，是將1克水增加1攝氏度所需的能量。這個單位經常用作食物能量的單位，所以如果一個小吃有一個100克的標籤，而顯示每100克就有394千卡，這意味著用這100克的零食，你可以把100g的水加熱3.94攝氏度。而實驗上，食物真是要被燒了，加熱了水，在量熱儀上去確定卡路里總數〜

那麼我們怎麼能得到負卡路里？

你不能簡單地燒一些東西來冷卻一盆水。這個負卡路里的概念實際上並不是指燃燒的食物所提高的水溫。它更像是對你身體有負熱量影響的食物。或者簡單地說，你需要從你的身體使用更多的能量去分解食物，這個從食物獲得的能量的要少於你消化食物所能獲得的能量。

那麼那罐是什麼呢? 其實就是含有低卡路里成分，同時含有大量的膳食纖維的飲料? 膳食纖維是負卡路里的好幫手，因為一些成分如纖維素，我們本身沒有消化它們所需的酶。然而，我們的身體在消化系統中進行了很多個過程，試圖去消化它們。這種投放在消化的能量並不能從膳食纖維中掙回來，所以我們的身體在整體上都會失去一些能量。這就是引人注目的術語“負卡路里”發揮作用的時候〜你喝這個，可以幫助你減肥〜

我個人意見，這是可能的，但不切實際~

如何制造負卡路里飲料，超便宜又方便！

配料：

• 飲用水，可蒸餾或礦物質化都可以

廚房用品：

• 冰箱和冰櫃

程序：
將飲用水分成兩部分

• 將一部分放入冰箱
• 把另一部分放進冰櫃裡
• 將冰箱和冰櫃的水冷藏超過2小時
• 定期檢查冰櫃中部分的水分
• 一旦它從液體轉變成固體，立即從冰櫃中的水轉移到冰箱內的水。

盡快享用飲料以及固態的水。

冰冷的水理論上不含卡路里，而當你喝這飲料的時候，你的身體會用自身的能量來加熱冰水到你的身體溫度，這就是不就是負卡路里嗎? （女生們千萬別亂試我的負熱量飲料, 身體某幾天很痛我是不負責的~）

提示
卡路里實際上不是標準的SI單位，焦耳才是能源的官方單位！大約1卡路里相當於4.2焦耳，或1千卡= 4.2 kJ！人們經常誤認這兩個單位，做成低估或高估了食物的總能量。所以要非常小心〜
