Sunder Mulenaathan, an economics professor at Harvard University, said indulging in calculating calories and suppressing natural appetite may “clog” the dieter’s brain and leave him no room for other thinking and calculations. This “blockage” can have an adverse effect on people’s ability to perform various tasks. These tasks include logical reasoning, problem solving and absorbing new information, etc., Mulena Nathan collectively referred to these tasks as
