I'm 56 and have been a picky eater my whole life, and overweight/obese my whole adult life. I found this site while looking for a weight loss plan for picky eaters. I would love to know why the majority of us like carbs and fats like breads, sweets, fries, pizza, and reject fruits and vegetables. The thing is, you have to reverse this kind of eating in order to lose weight. So, I am usually drawn to a low carb plan because I can still have meat and fats. But the only veggies a picky eater usually likes are potatoes, corn, carrots, which are carbs and restricted. So, how long can a person go on a diet where everything they like is not allowed or restricted? Anyway I was glad to find this site. I agree that this is an hereditary thing, as my dad, brother, and kids are picky to some degree. Thanks for being here.
