I also used to be a picky eater and Kraft macaroni and cheese was my all-time favorite food. So, changes had to be made lol
I like Karens explanation about carbs. I think too many people think they're all bad and you should avoid them, which isn't true. What you should try to avoid is highly processed carbs. The easiest way to figure out which carbs are "good" is to look at a diabetic dietary guide or the glycemic index.
My program suggested eating protein first, then veggies and carbs last. The fact is, you're not going to have a lot of room for the carbs if you focus on the other two first. I am 2 years out and not everything I eat is "good for me" But I mostly stick to real food and try to avoid added sugars. That's it.
