Put a generator on a stationary bike and plug your phone or a usb battery into it.

Besides, we all know the best use for human fat is soap.

I appreciate the out of the box thinking here, but the idea is to have some sort of way to have some form of organ that artificially consumes a lot of energy, passively. The same way that your heart or brain consumes energy. "Glucose Biofuel Cell" was another answer here which is more aligned in what I am thinking of.
