Some dieters do not not eat for a 24 hours while others prefer to opt for a large calorie deficit, according to Healthline.

As the material operated upon contained only 91.3 per cent. of true calcium carbide, he estimates the heat corresponding with the decomposition of 1 gramme of pure carbide to be 0.4446 large calorie.

The small calorie is the quantity of heat needed to raise 1 gramme of water 1° C.; but as there are 1000 grammes in 1 kilogramme, the large calorie is equal to 1000 small calories.

The decomposition of 64 grammes of commercial carbide evolves 28 large calories of heat.
