There's another thread linking the same article, and it's very unclear that this loss of weight is caused by the mental effort. If thinking hard required a lot of energy, wouldn't …

I totally agree, and I've observed how my productivity has gone up dramatically now that I'm back to the office. It's fairly empty, so it's not like there is actually many people w…
