Thanks for the feedback. Your classwork under fast is inspiring, since it sounds like it included some fairly diverse cognitive skills. In my case trying to write a paper was a really emphatic illustration that something weird was going on, since I could do other, simpler tasks without really noticing a difference. But creative, integrative work that required planning and holding multiple things in memory at once was like running into a tree. The pizzeria thing, on the other hand, doesn't really surprise me. I worked in a pizzeria once, and my experience there (and from talking to other friends in fast food) was that the more time you spend in food prep, the less hungry you are. There might be eating out of impulse, but the hunger triggers seem to go away pretty quick. I'd encourage you in your final sentiment, though: quantitative performance info on fasting would be really useful, and doesn't seem to exist in the literature. If you ever want to talk about it please PM me.
