Here is the space, I am going to use for jotting down weird ideas which come to my mind from time to time. Lets get started. I found this formula of the daily calorie need for a person. The formula is

Men:  BMR = 66 + (13.7 x W) + (5 x H) – (6.8 x Age) = Daily calories required

Women:  BMR = 665 + (9.6 x W) + (1.8 x H) – (4.7 x Age) = Daily calories needs

Where:

W = weight in Kgs

H = Height in cms ( 1 foot = 12 inches, 1 inch = 2.54 cms)

Age = Years

Multiply your BMR by an activity factor which more closely suits your lifestyle

  • Sedentary – none or very little exercise = BMR X 1.2
  • Light activity for average of 2 days/week = BMR X 1.375
  • Moderate activity level exercising  4 days/week = BMR X 1.5
  • High activity levels exercise & sports more than 6 days/week = BMR X 1.7
  • Higher activity levels = up to 2 x BMR

So a man with 60 kg wt and 5’ 6’’ tall, with moderate activity and of age 25 years needs 2400(approx). 1 kg of our body fats equals 7700 calorie, enough for 3 days of fasting !!!

Imagine the potential calorie stored in a fat person. Imagine if there is a medicine which can make us burn these calories stored in us at any point of time we want. There would be no obesity. The food problem would be solved upto great extend as people can just go without food for days by burning there fats. Hunger??? For that we have to again imagine that there is a pill to subside hunger so long as we get the daily calorie needed for our body. Well, if such a thing exists, the first thing I might do is to just go for a trekking in a jungle with no worries about food at all. My excess fats would be burned at the same time, I can enjoy the adventure. Or may be, I would attempt to go Mt. Everest without heavy clothes and food as the calorie burn can also maintain body heat needed in that cold region.

I sound pretty weird, right? Ya I do sound pretty weird writing all these things here. But honestly I do have these fancy things popping out of my mind from time to time and who knows, may be one clever scientist comes up with these two medicines….
