That's impressive! What are your thoughts on the speed of the mental change post eating? ...it seems too fast for the nutrients to have hit your system.

Without having the relevant biological knowledge myself, all I can think is that every part of my digestive system was so primed for use that as soon as I started chewing on something, I guess I felt stimulated in the same way that doing some exercise kind of invigorates and wakes you up a bit. I think the other aspect would just be purely emotional/psychological, in that I was just recieving something that I had really wanted to have for the last 24 hours or so. Perhaps a similar effect happens whenever a biological need is postponed for an unusually long time, like the elation of when you finally get to a bathroom after an hour has passed since you first identified that you need to go, haha!
