I don't like veggies or exercise :(

I dont love exercise either, but I love the results. I also love how I feel after; accomplished, strong, healthy. Maybe you can think about that and not focus on how much you dont want to do it. I know If I just think about my goals I always get up and do it! About veggies- I have to say personally, I really like them but if you dont, try "hiding" them in things. Have you tried zucchini or carrot cake/bread for example? How about green smoothies- you just make a fruit smoothie and add a cup of spinach, you cant even taste it, I promise! How about when you make pasta? Add a lot of spinach, mushrooms, carrots, and onions to the sauce, as well as some tasty ground turkey or lean beef and a splash of wine- trust me, the meat/wine/red sauce will cover up the flavor. Hope that helps and good luck!

Edit; oops sorry for any repeat advice, I took kind of long to post this!

I can't believe you "don't like veggies". Have you tried all the different types? Tried them with dips? All vegetables don't taste the same. When you say you don't like veggies you sound like a small child (I picture pouting 5 year old).

Until vegetables taste like chocolate or cheeseburgers or fried chicken, then no, there is no way vegetables are going on my top 20 things I'd eat given the choice.

Then you should've quoted the part where I said I like asparagus wrapped in bacon and grilled.

Just a little ray of sunshine aren't you!!

I guess I should've told the OP that it is perfectly okay to eat only junk food and not try expanding her horizons. The fact that she only wants to eat things full of grease and ignore nutrition won't hinder this journey at all. Instead, I was rude to suggest trying to mix the things she doesn't like with things she does to achieve a palatable flavor while still actually getting some nutrition. My mistake. Continue on eating 1200 calories of french fries and not working out.

I have never hated veggies. BUT exercise and I have been constant enemies since I was a young girl. In elementary school and up, whenever I would do something strenuous, like CARDIO, I would cough up blood. But then, after finding out I was 200 pounds after our youngest was born, I realized I had to get over my aversion to exercise, and if I take it slow and tell myself I will be fine.

I started walking on the treadmill, then graduated to the stationary bike on intervals... Now, after doing a week of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred, I can get on the elliptical for 15 minutes at a time. I even ran the first week I was doing this, because my body told me to give it a try. I was out of breath, falling over, coughing blood - but for some reason, I felt good about myself. I pushed myself past a boundary that I had erected - I challenged myself.

This is a journey you need to make for yourself - make a map that you KNOW you can follow, and keep following. We all know the main path of the hike - the Veggies, Fruit and Exercise trail; now, there are so many hidden and obscured trails you can follow that will, in the end, land you at the same destination. The Waterfall of Health and Life. Choose the times to trail blaze - or walk the obscure paths. If you hate veggies, try some suppliments... Or check out some information on what fruits might have the same benefits as the veggies. Hope this helps

I don't love or hate vegetables in general...and it seems a little unrealistic to say you hate all veggies. Have you tried a lot of different kinds? I love broccoli and zucchini and squash, but HATE bell peppers and carrots. Maybe you just need to broaden your horizons a little and try some new foods. I never thought I'd be one to try edamame (steamed soy beans with sea salt) but once I did I loved it! It's a great salty snack packed with protein. And zucchini and yellow squash sautéed with a little olive oil? My favorite! Add in a little caramelized onions and I'm in heaven! All veggies taste different, so find what works for you. I don't really exercise either, and instead of making excuses I admit it's because I'm on the lazy side. Be the change you want to see. Try new foods. It's impossible for you to not like at least some vegetables!

I love veggies. My plate at dinner is usually 3/4 full with them and lunch just isn't complete without them

Same here. Can't get enough of them- carrots and celery with hummus, delicious salads, homegrown lucious leaves, grilled peppers, brocolli....it's hard for me to imagine not liking them!

Try different things for exercise. Some people LOVE spinning (personally I hate it), some people LOVE swimming (personally I dont know how), some people LOVE Zumba (personally, I love it too!). Some people like a workout buddy - I prefer my Ipod and a treadmill. Different strokes for different folks but I bet there is some form of exercise you can get down with.

I love veggies and exercise, exercise gives me a huge buzz and it makes me feel good too, and the veggies are delicious try cooking them in different ways x

I must have missed something...

Yeah I'm not exactly sure why "Rebekah" decided to be insulting. I thought I'd given decent advice, and the OP chose to ignore it, so I repeated it in the reply.

If OP only wants to eat cheeseburgers, it doesn't hurt to throw some asparagus ON the cheeseburger. It surely adds nutrients without adding calories.

I love veggies. Seriously.

I hate "exercise".... but I do love being active (hiking, kayaking, etc.)

I actually crave veggies now that I've kept a "clean eating" focus for about 2 months. I still eat "crap" every once in a while... but I always fit it into my daily numbers and make up for it by doing extra well for the next few days.

If you don't like vegetables try making homemade soup. There are so many variations of soup that can be made very healthy that there's bound to be a couple you like. Today I made a huge pot of soup with 15-bean blend, corn, carrots, squash, zucchini, celery, onion, green pepper, fresh basil, and okra (along with low-sodium marinara, shrimp, sea salt, chili powder, and garlic powder). Just throw those babies in there and let simmer for a few hours... bam, 15-20 servings of soup chock full of veggies that is just delicious. The only vegetable I don't like is raw tomato, and even then I can eat them cooked. Experiment.

As for exercise, I used to hate it but I now love it. My main form of exercise since I started has been running, but some fun ones I do are yoga, pilates, and kickboxing. There's bound to be at least one physical activity you enjoy.

I hate vegies too! And I used to hate exercise as well, but lately I have started to love my daily gym visits
One week I just pushed myself and started to go there every day and did around 400-500 calories on cardio + strenght. In few days I already started to feel much better and SO proud of myself. Now I feel kind of unhappy if i can't do some exercise Before I even cheat as much as possible, meaning I went as late as possible so I would have some excuse to not doo too much. Since I am now going with my boyfriend I am already screaming to him that I wont have enough time if gym is closing in 2,5 h

Just push urself to the maximum and maybe you will start to love it as well Good luck

veggie burgers - yumm! and maybe start with some stretching, or parking further away from the store - a little bit counts

Sometimes in life...You've just got to do things that you simply don't like/agree with/want to do.

This is because life is hard.

In order to survive in life we learn to do things we HAVE to do, against our short-term desires but sometimes for better in the long run.

This is one of those things.

You still have to pay taxes.

Do you guys actually LIKE these healthy foods and exercising or do you just do it because you feel like you have to? Did you learn to like it?

I actually LOVE vegis.... I think the reason lots of folks don't like them is because they are often served bland or overcooked.

Try roasting virtually any veg in the oven .... cut into equal size chunks and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper... also cumin is good .... then roast in the oven at 450 for 15-25 minutes, depending on the vegi... let it caramelize.... delicious!
I recommend: broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, fennel, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, any root vegi, etc etc...

I do not eat anything I don't like. I love vegetables--some more than others, and some in certain form rather than others. Maybe you just need to experiment with different methods of preparing your vegetables and go out on a limb and try something new from time to time.

Don't like asparagus because it's stinky? Maybe try breading it in panko and baking it in the oven. It's crisp like a cracker and tastes/smells so much better. Don't like cabbage? Try it as a wrap around taco meat instead of a tortilla. Don't like carrots? Try steaming them with some brown sugar and butter. Sure, it's not the most healthy alternative, but it's better than cobbler or a baked potato.

The point is... just try different things. Do you have a Pinterest account? Simply search for different vegetables and find new ways to try them. If all else fails, there's always light ranch dressing.
