When I cheat and eat some bad food, I feel like crap, have no motivation, am depressed, and not very productive. I also do not process information well, and I communicate in a less than satisfactory manner.
So, I try to keep it very healthy most times. Couple cheat meals per month though.
Gotta have a balance.

I know exactly what you mean. I try to eat alot of salad, and lots of veggies with every dinner, fruit with or for breakfast. If I do all this and drink lots of water and get some excretes in my day, I "feel" great: Wide awake, alert, energetic, happier, etc.
I love a good Filet Mignon and wine and of course, beer, bread, sugar, etc, but feel really bad after eating too much of it, or at the wrong time of day. For example, a great steak and glass of wine is perfect for a Friday or Saturday night when I just want to go home and crash afterwards, and a delicious cheeseburger is great too. But if I have a burger and a coke for lunch, the rest of my day is ruined. I feel fat, lazy, unmotivated, you name it. Fried food + Sugar + Salt just wipes me out.
I think I've found a decent balance. I try to eat healthy-ish, and walk, bike or run a few days a week. I'll never be in tip-top perfect shape but thats ok for me - I don't want to give up sweets or delicious fatty meals altogether - I just go easy on them now.
Cheers!
