But my doc says I can’t burn calories by thinking about excercise?
Is it true that thinking harder actually consumes more sugar?
Maybe, the brain can metabolize sugar or ketones. Kinda like a hybrid car that can run on gas or batteries.

Heck yeah it do. The brain is powered by glucose, and more brain activity will use much more of it. Jokingly, it’s how I can tell a new engineer from one that is extremely experienced: A bright young engineer is usually skinny from problem solving all day. An older one is likely stuck in more meetings where brainpower is a liability and is probably on the heavier side.
Also, as an occasional eater of magic mushrooms, I keep packs of glucose in the house that are typically used for diabetic emergencies. Psilocybin pushes a brain into overdrive and causes my blood sugar to nosedive. (There are studies about possibly using psilocybin as a diabetic treatment to improve pancreatic function, btw…)
Explains my hypoglycemia
This is why I just stopped thinking
become immortal then get launched into space by a ridiculously buff 18 year old british-american
A new conspiracy theory just spawned in my head about the push for zero sugar products everywhere…
