Do you “stomach” anything because it is healthy?

I drink a protein shake with 30g of protein and a lot of caffeine. It keeps me going for a good five hours (that’s good for me). It’s chocolate, but with 1g of sugar, it’s not the best tasting. I stomach it because I’m desperate for energy (a healthy diet doesn’t alone hasn’t give me a lot of energy). What do you put up with because it is healthy? Is it a horse pill vitamin, vegetables you hate, or walking 2 miles a day…? *I’m never going off caffeine; my neurologist said with my migraines it isn’t worth it.

If it is not tasty, I don't eat it. It is awful to waste calories on something yucky. If I was drinking your shakes I would be tempted to put a drop or two of stevia in them.

Not a bad idea. I wonder if it’s just me. I’m more sensitive to foods and drinks than I used to be.

Sometimes things I don't like like walking on the treadmill or eating food I am not crazy about because it's healthy.

I was trying to take large calcium pills but I have a lot of trouble taking tablets. I was persevering but then I found chewable ones. I guess I put up with walking more because it is healthy.

I switched to a liquid supplement when I found one because the pills for it were too large. They started to get to me too.

Migraines will keep me on my caffeine as well, forever. They are so, so much worse without caffeine. I do admire anyone who can stomach those protein shakes. I honestly cannot. I never used to have texture issues but sometimes, things that are thick like those drinks just will not even go down my throat. They make me gag! I don't know why. I don't honestly like the taste of most of them anyway, so there's that. I wish I could walk more, but my bum leg has kept me from all of those marathons I could be running right now. I do exercise as much as I possibly can.

You’ve done really well with your health, especially since you made those changes a few years ago.

@AmbiePam It made a huge difference to dump the extra weight. I have kept it off, because I finally realized that I had to change the way I was eating. I am a foodie, and I love to cook. I know I don’t ever want to go back to where I was!! Thank you, Amber.

I'm not in that category to "stomach" anything and everything Though I do like to eat a lot, especially those items that I like the most. But then later I know what happens to me So I make it a point to not overeat and keep things under control for me.

I don't. If I don't like how something tastes, I don't eat or drink it. Pure and simple. I find other ways around it or will eat or drink something else.

I just can't do it. Lol. I hate water because it's tasteless so I add some flavor stuff into it. I know probably not as healthy but hey I'm drinking water!

I used to put chia seeds and lemon slices on my water. Not that bad. I walk as well but not as much as I want to

If I didn't have my 2 cups of coffee in the morning I'd probably keel over. I tried those protein shakes but I never found one that tasted good.

I have tried kombucha several times. I tried to change the taste of it with creamer, but I couldn't handle it. I know kombucha is supposed to be good for you, but I just gave up. I do walk around the house because it's healthy.

I like veggies, my supplements are quite large; but I don't have a problem taking pills...I really don't put up with anything other than having to eat less to try and lose weight!!! Have a good day.
