Sure, eating healthy is good for me, but it’s also a good excuse to eat unhealthy every now and then

Eating healthy can help keep your weight down, keep you more energized, and can lead to a longer life, but there’s one reason most of us keep secret: We get to splurge on unhealthy food. And it tastes a million times sweeter than it does when you eat unhealthy on a regular basis.

It’s sort of like a reward. When I’ve eaten all health food for a few weeks, I don’t feel so bad dropping a few bucks for some Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

So why I do eat healthy? Well, in part because sometimes I get to eat unhealthy and not feel guilty about it.
