This defiantly helps you branch out to new foods...I was the same way when I started and now I am eating foods I never thought I would eat. It is a good experience when it comes to that. I waited the first time around until the 10th day so that I would have something to look forward too, it is so worth it! I am sure you are doing just fine with the weight loss! Hang in there, it will get hard, but just push by and remember why you are doing this! Best wishes!!!
