Eating to feel good has been replaced by eating to feel better, and people often opt for junk, comfort food following a bad day or an unpleasant experience. Eating because we're in a bad mood, to make us feel less stressed or just because we feel like eating "something bad for us" are some of the reasons people choose fatty alternatives to nutritious food. But this choice of food can make us feel low in energy, sluggish and unable (or unwilling) to do exercise. Naturally, this leads to poor health, a lack of fitness and dramatic weight gain. Ironically, the positive, comforting effects of eating these kinds of foods are canceled out when people feel guilty as a result of eating foods with a high fat content and low nutritional value.
