- W2206585266 abstract "From the experiences with 500 diabetics, it is shown that bodily equilibrium may be maintained with diets the caloric contents of which are much below the generally accepted standards. With these diets, the average loss of weight was very much less than expected theoretically. Conditions which might have accounted for the discrepancy between the actual and theoretically expected loss of weight are briefly discussed. It is shown that even by assuming a) reduction of the basal metabolism to its lowest level within a few weeks, b) complete absence of specific dynamic action of food in all cases during the entire period of obsevation, c) maximum muscular efficiency throughout this period and d) that the occupations of all of these diabetics consisted of light work only, there was still an appreciable difference between the actual and theoretically expected loss of weight. According to the equation which expresses the law of conservation of energy in man, it is shown that the amount of energy available for work in the diets of these individuals was very small. Since these diets resulted in improvement, and not in impairment, of health, it is necessary to assume that the human body is very efficient—that when necessary very little of the potential energy of the food is wasted—or that with a tendency toward underfeeding the body has available some unrecognized source of energy. Since the average diet contains sufficient energy (about 2500 calories) to do about 3,000,000 foot-pounds of work, independent of the basal metabolism requirements the human machine appears to be very inefficient under ordinary conditions. The alternative, therefore, appears to be that with a tendency toward underfeeding, the body has available some unrecognized source of energy. That the body can, at times, use energy which is ordinarily wasted as heat is suggested from the reduction of the specific dynamic action of food during work." @default.
