Having converted from carnal spirit to new spirit from Christ, how would you describe the change; in specific rather than vague terms?

Christians should know what CARNAL means.  Maybe another word is SELF centered.   Carnal might involve thinking 'the ANSWER' or the WAY is, for example vegan.  Or organic as if organic guarantees a good life.
CARNAL will be 'If I do this(whatever), I'll be (good, happy) so
it's something you can do.

The new Spirit life FIRST serves God, the Lord, first seeks His Way.
And His way is very different from ours.

One big difference I have noticed is patience,  waiting upon the Lord.
And then, when it is clear, the WAY has been shown, to obediently do it.  It often DOESN'T seem like what I'd do.

Nearly everyone,  Christian or not has a strong desire to
'come up with it', maybe get the credit?

A book could be written on this topic.

It's TRUST and distrust.   Trusting Jesus,  distrusting carnal.
Seeking first!

Loss of desire for many things from my old life and lifestyle... with an eager desire to learn and grow closer to the living God in my new one. Specifically, my desires and needs changed.

i dont think you can have a specific material explanation for something spiritual .. you simply 'know' and that knowing isnt from you ..
