Another good thing, if you can pronounce it or don't know what it is, don't eat it.

Making your own pizzas is also pretty fun and tasty, but it doesn't give you any protein.

I don't really watch what I eat. I eat quite a bit too. I dunno I really like food. I would change my eating habits if I knew I was getting something out of it. Does eating "healthy" make you more happy overall? I really don't give a shit about good health, we will die eventually, then what will good health get me?

You feel healthier, you have more energy, you poop easier :P
Its nice when you finish a 'healthy' meal and you feel really satisfied and energized after it.

I find often, if I eat something like say, a greasy hamburger - after I eat it, I feel bloaty, fat, greasy, and my energy level goes down. I may feel full, but I dont feel satisfied. (Mind you, I'll still indulge in a burger now and then just because they taste good )

But, if I eat say - a big plate of rice, with chicken, peppers, basil, onions, peanuts, spice, etc - I feel full AND satisfied, and I feel a bit more 'energetic' after and just feel better after eating it.

And, not to delve into too much TMI - but since I've made it a point to get more fiber into my diet, hrmm, I'll just say that it helps, lots - my morning trip to the bathroom is over in a matter of seconds instead of minutes.

Also, my skin looks healthier. So yes, what you put into your body does affect how you look / feel / energy and over all health. Yes, we all end up dead - but why not try and take care of yourself so you feel good until the end?

Generally speaking, I still eat what I want, when I want - but I just tend to make healtheir choices in general, and find that I feel better overall than I used to when I used to eat nothing but crap.

And, as your body 'adjusts' to eating healthier, you tend to crave healthier things also. Now if I'm craving sweets - I'll go for fruit instead of say a mars bar (more often than not, now and then I do just want a mars bar). Not only is it satisfying the sweet-tooth craving, its healthier for you, and I tend to get a little boost of energy after.
