I can't think of any more frustrating, boring and unrewarding way to waste some of the 3 hours I have to myself after work than having to cook my food. I just hate it - all of it. I hate the choosing, the planning, the timing of getting the right ingredients before they go off, I hate the waiting during cooking, I hate the cleaning it involves and I don't enjoy homecooked meals nearly enough for it to feel like it pays off. Let's face it. We've come out of a time where it was customary for a home to be for a family, and for that family to have 1 adult at home most of the time to do the household and cooking. That's not reality anymore for most of us.
@@RubiixCat Everything takes at least 3 hrs when you are not very motivated. Don't forget to include the annoying shop for last minute ingredients that you realise you don't have because your fresh ingredients keep going rotten so quickly. It's fine if you have multiple shoppers but for one person to juggle keeping everything fresh every bloody day and cooking it all perfectly on time so it's not wasted is an expensive and exhausting job that never ends.
@@jamieryan958my favorite part is when you look around for a solution to streamline feeding yourself, the only answers you get is “Do you hate cooking? Well here’s everything you hate about it in one gigantic time and money wasting package!”
So I sat through a 2.5 minute intro where I'm explained why somebody I don't know has a mustach only to be told that my solution to not wanting to cook is to just cook I'm confident in the kitchen. I worked as a cook in a modern Italian restaurant for 3 years and I've been cooking for myself for 10 years. I just don't want to cook anymore. It takes up too much time
i hate cooking... i love healthy food and I am actually fairly good at it, but I hate cooking it...I'm a working mother of three and wife and my culture demands that I should love cooking..(sigh) i prefer cleaning to cooking tbh
@@MattGarcyaDC Well i figured out that dont really hate cooking, i just hate having to cook when I would prefer to do something else. Its a huge interruption to my life.. if i have lots of time on my hands, i enjoy it more.
I agree. Cooking is SO depressing! Hours of work for seconds of stuffing my face! I live alone so I have no reason to impress myself but oddly I'm finding that unless I cook myself huge meals all the time, I just waste away
most of the pleasure that comes from cooking, is from cooking for someone that appreciates it. Im single and don't see my friends during the week, so it's an absolute drag to cook
Ok, here is my problem, I am completely impatient when it comes to eating, the idea of waiting for food to cook and all the cleaning up is enough to stop me from doing it, so I live off nuts and fruit and salad sandwiches, even making a sandwich is a chore, I have been a vegetarian for 48 years and no fish or eggs either, tried microwave meals a couple of times but they were literally disgusting, so whilst my diet is fairly healthy it is starting to get very boring, my daughter is the complete opposite and loves to cook and loves food and when she is here I have a more varied diet but she is 19 now and not here as often, what are my options, I see food as fuel and know my body needs it but get little enjoyment out of it, any suggestions? apart from not being such a lazy bastard.
Choose 2 protein sources (meat and fish or meat and beans) make 1 dish that last 6 meals with each of them th and cook or roast a bunch of veggies you like rice or potatoes for carbs or bread and yiu have nuyrition besides to sandwiches
I don't like cooking myself it's to much work, and to time consuming I know it's important to learn especially when you go out and live on your own. Cooking requires a lot of patience which I don't have I know it's lazy but I just don't have the love for it. I don't have a problem washing all the dishes I'll do that very easy.
My super lazy every day meals: Breakfast: One big sliced Fuji apple with natural peanut butter (dip the apple like fries in ketchup). I use a spoon in the jar to help me get the peanut butter. Lunch: Two sliced cucumbers, which can also be between meal snacks depending on my hunger, and one can of green beans, right out of the can after I drain and rinse it. Super: One ramen cup (spicy shrimp) with one piece of dark chocolate afterwards. Drink: Beet and lemon juice in a 2.2 liter bottle with a straw. Remember to eat slowly and really enjoy the food so you can feel full! I also take multivitamin gummies and a joint supplement before breakfast. If you want an easy dessert, chia seed pudding is simple to make! You just mix a few ingredients, put it in the fridge for an hour, and your done!
I have a toddler a husband and a baby on the way i only cook because I have to feed them but if it was just me I would only eat once a day n it would for sure not be homemade.
Currently in this exact position. I've been made out to feel guilty for not liking to cook but I truly dislike it. I'd rather do laundry or clean a bathroom than cook 🙃
Really really enjoying your backdrop mate looks hella profesh Tips are actually so helpful as well. I find for myself as well is getting out of the mind set that I don’t have enough time. I work 2 jobs and study full time but I will have 15-30 mins in my day to cook a quick meal or two, I think we really overestimate how much time goes into our cooking but the stress of day to day makes us put it off. Finding peace of mind helped
my guy, I'm a good cook. But as others stated here: cooking takes a lot of time and energy, and you have to do it for the rest of your life to survive. Eating is so stressfull to me only because of cooking, planning etc. I don't have any ED or severe weight problems (under or over) and its just a matter of: it's boring and stressful to cook. If you were looking for someone who feels like I do, go to depression forums. There are plenty of people who see eating as a boring chore, something that isn't enjoyable at all. For something that we do every single day of our lifes, I would prefer if it was at least a little bit enjoyable...
Actually I hate cooking because all the prep it requires. All the chopping, buying the ingredients beforehand (because I live in a 3rd world country and doesn't have a fridge) and other things. I wish I could order like literally every ingredients and herbs and seasonings and sauces pre made, pre cut, pre boiled, pre minced, pre diced etc shipped to my house so when I need to cook I just throw things into a pan and stir fry it or just throw bunch of pre cut vegetables into hot boiling water and make a soup. It would save a lot of time and a lot of pots and pans to clean.
As people have mentioned here there simply is barely any time to cook. Most people are working upwards of 50 hours a week, 8+ hours daily and simply don't have the time or don't want to spend what little time they have to relax doing planning, shopping, prepping, and cooking. I work and go to school, and my schedule is always PACKED. I am too exhausted to put aside an hour+ every day to cook only for myself while also going through the annoying routine of forgetting an ingredient or something going bad and having to buy another one. Its exhausting, the real problem is our society forcing us to slave over our jobs destroying our mental health to the point we cant cook.
I hate cooking because it is expected from me to cook as a women. Especially in my family. And I also hate it bcs I have to cook for everyone if I make something to eat for myself and my parents shout at me for cooking for myself. I am 22 now and I still hate cooking.
I'm genuinely trying to find ways to eat probably because I work alot and my meds with Adhd makes me not hungry. The only thing that makes me remember to eat is hunger pains
I can cook well, but hate the task. My usual ways around it are: Breakfast: Over night oats with presliced almonds, a chia seed mix, some raisins, cinnamon, and a bit of chocolate milk mix or maple syrup. Then some blueberries or a sliced strawberry added in the morning. Add or take out any parts you want. It's hard to mess up. Most of the ingredients also last forever. If you're "cooking" for one, almond milk lasts longer than regular dairy For lunch and dinner, I just like produce that doesn't need to be cooked, or notably prepped. Fruits and nuts are very simple. Raw carrots, bell peppers, and broccoli tips are just fine for me with a simple dressing. One I like: some orange juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and cumin or other simple spices. Stores also tend to have fairly healthy oven ready fish that you can put on tin foil for easy cleanup.
I can cook I absolutely hate cooking anything I do prefer to eat out obviously cuz I don't have to cook the food and it's quicker very impatient. I am.not over weight in fact I'm extremely thin but I can deff confess that I am not the healthiest honestly I feel like if a mosquito would bite me and try to drink my blood id kill the mosquito lol I don't understand people who enjoy cooking this is a constant problem for me as I have to cook for my kids and husband everyday most of the time I don't even want to cook for myself I am happiest on days my husband picks up something quick to eat but I have to cook most of the time as I can't give fast food to my kids everyday and would like them to eat healthier as well on top of that I hate vegetables I can eat certain ones but very limited very picky there is no way I can teach my kids to eat healthy if I can't eat healthy myself is eat corn potatoes broccoli and very rarely I can eat yams and tomatoes (yes I consider tomato a veggie idc if people want to argue it's a fruit or what not that's people's opinion but I'm labeling mine as a veggie lol) all other veggies disgust me I've never tried a salad in my life nor can I eat even a burger with lettuce on it deff need help with my diet let alone helping my kids to eat healthier they still eat healthier than me but my point is how can I cook better meals without dreading it so much?
The struggle is real, I raised my daughter on my own from the age of 10 and had to cook for her nearly every day as we ate out far too often, I asked her what she wanted for dinner once and she thought I meant what restaurant, I am so lazy in the kitchen I have turned into a raw vegan by accident haha.
I hear you and Designer Garb. I've just tried tapping about it - EFT, some good intro videos on RUclips. Thing is, I don't love cooking, but eating and preparing mine and my son's food is an unavoidable, essential part of life. And while I enjoy eating more than cooking, what I eat will affect my mood, my energy levels, my weight and my health. So I am wanting to make peace with it. Some friends of mine in relationships have win-win agreements where their partners cook and they clean up after, or vice versa. I think we need to get creative with this. Best wishes to you all
Thanks Glenn, this one caught my eye as I've definitely lost my mojo in the kitchen in the last few years - I reckon we (well I do anyway) could do with a tapping video on this topic though! 🤔
Yo Lou!!! We could definitely to a tapping video on this - we actually have a vid in on it in the advanced version of our tapping for weight management program we're running July 3. And check out my last coffee break tapping session (on this channel) where we cover it a bit :-) Hope you're well!
Thanks Glenn :) I'm glad I asked then! The new topics in the advanced program are brilliant 👌 and your FB live tapping vid the other day (may have been your coffee break) covered so much in this regard. Loving it! 👍🏻
Awesome - I didn't know wether the coffee break got into it enough - so that's great! And yes, we're putting the finishing touches on the tapping program, and thinking "THIS IS GOING TO BE SO GOOD" :-) :-) :-)
No I find handing food (especially raw food) gross. I do it because I have to. I endure this disgusting CHORE, and get criticized. I'd rather scrub my toilet or take out the garbage because at least nobody cares if it's not how mom would have done it
I see where I made my mistake ... I searched youtube for "eat healthy but hating cooking" ... when I should have searched for "eating healthy with no cooking". Not going to lie, I downvoted the video simply because the only advice he gave to someone that hates cooking is to learn to cook and get support for it, LOL.
When I'm too tired to do any actual cooking I just throw some salmon in the oven and eat it with a bit of cheese, youghurt, a tomato and some parsley. Cooking doesn't need to be complicated.
Hey Glenn! Just saw you on Mark's channel. I hate cooking but I do it all the time now and I've been able to stay very healthy. No fast foods for me! Great tips here! 😊👍🏼
Hey! I recognised you!! Thanks for joining mine too :-) I'm glad you liked the tips - yes, it is something we kind of have to do, so if we can learn to like it more (or even hate it less) then that's very cool :-)
Yes, very true! I'm getting better and trying new things in the kitchen. The key is that I'm controlling what I put in my mouth with the goal of staying healthy. :-)
I know it sounds funny to say but I favour being practical over following principles - if someone will do lean cuisine Vs Take away/chocolate/lollies I think that's a win!
I can't think of any more frustrating, boring and unrewarding way to waste some of the 3 hours I have to myself after work than having to cook my food. I just hate it - all of it.
