Question by nautica17: Can brain exercises help you lose weight?
Every time I go to class where there is a lot of math, i.e. college level calculus, and sit there for two hours doing calculations, thinking hard and to the point where I almost crack, I get really tired. So I’m wondering if it is possible to lose calories when your brain is working to its potential? After all, there has to be some energy used right? Would this energy you use be significant enough to help someone lose weight along-side a good diet and physical exercises?

You’re feeling tired because you did not eat the right nutrients to last you until the next meal. There is no scientific proof that shows brain excercises help you lose weight. I think physical exercise along with decreasing your daily intake of calories is the most effective way of losing weight.
