Consequence-based Eating
Consequence-based Eating is eating taking into account exactly how what one eats will affect one's digestive system. Whether it will digest what one ate easily or with difficulty, slowly or quickly, how eating that food will make one feel—energetic or lethargic, happy or sad, healthy or sick, calm or anxious—and how easily the waste will exit the body.
The opposite of Consequence-based Eating is "Instant Pleasure-based Eating"—not thinking about or asking oneself the above list of consequences. Most people are not accustomed to ask themselves how a food they eat or a drink they drink will affect them. Most people are probably unaware that it is possible to know how most different foods will affect one's body, because most foods have been around for thousands or many years, and those who know, know how each food affects the body. For example, there are foods which clean the body and brain, there are foods which are known to detoxify the body, and there are foods which inhibit mental and physical agility. One rule of thumb is that certain foods are fresh and alive, but other foods are dead. All the above also applies to drinks. The best drink is water, it refreshes and detoxifies. Having a bowel movement as well as urinating gets rid of the waste from our trillions of cells, as well as most toxic and other harmful ingredients in the foods we ate or the liquids we drank.

Consequence-based eating is not automatic, nor is it the norm. It takes many years to become cognizant of the many benefits of realizing, remembering that, for example, food A causes effects GBP and that food B causes effects RSW, and eating accordingly. The best way to increase your knowledge about which food does what is to read books on health, and write in your journal how what you eat affected you and your digestion, and your bowel movements and urination.
