She hates healthy food

Home More advice Nutrition & Fitness

My girlfriend and I have decided that we're going to start trying to live a healthier lifestyle, so that we can both lose weight feel better about ourselves. Now for me, that isn't a problem. I'll eat just about anything, because that's how I was raised. My girl, on the other hand, was raised by parents who didn't teach her to eat healthy. The only fruit she'll touch is a banana, and she won't even look at vegetables that aren't potatoes. Meatwise, she likes chicken, hot dogs, and hamburgers(does Spam count as meat?). Anything else is a big negative. She loves sweets and things that are generally bad for her, though, so we have tons of that stuff in the house.

I should also mention that she's stubborn as a mule. If she doesn't want to do something, then there's no way I can force her to do it.

I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with healthy recipes for us to prepare, but with a very limited list of ingredients to choose from, it's getting difficult. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get her to eat healthier? I love her, and I don't want to lose her to a preventable problem. She's been in bad health her entire life, and it's only getting worse.
