Pizza is nutritious, as far as it goes, but if diet is lacking in nutrients that fresh vegetables, fruits, and grains provide, then the body craves food, food, and FOOD!

When people eat as much nutritious food as they need to satisfy hunger, when they are hungry, they don't gain weight like people who don't get nutrition and also eat food when they aren't hungry (i.e. for "comfort" or to be sociable, etc.).

So say I, with no dietician/nutritionist credentials.

I think to myself, "I'd better get rid of this carton of ice cream; I don't need to keep such fattening food around the house." So I get rid of it by eating it.
