Thread: Red and Green

Hi everyone,
Me and my OH started SW yesterday from home, we have the most recent magazine and we are using the books from about a year ago. We are sticking to red and green (basically because this is what we feel comfortable with and know we can stick to) and i wondered if anyone could tell me whether the new books are still split into red and green days or is the extra easy the only focus?
does anyone else still do red and green days or am i just stuck in old ways?
Thanks in advance x

I haven't seen the new books yet, so can't comment on them, but I mainly do red days, with only extra easy when pasta or rice are in my main meal, about once a week.

thanks for the reply..
i struggled when trying extra easy as i eat small portions and struggled to fit in the super free food but i could do one day a week with something like chilli and rice or tuna pasta salad. how have you found your losses with doing just the one day EE? x

My losses were slow initially, but that was down to the fact that I had been following WW before switching, and my body had to adjust to more food!

I got to target in six months and have maintained easily since August 2011 x

They are on separate booklets now I think it's so they can promote ee plan more.

I do red and green bc I didn't loose on ee! X

I agree that they are trying to promote EE, my C, doesn't want to know what you eat if you don't follow EE

Me being one of them, so, will always be a devotee of red/original.

Consultants are told to promote EE. All new members start on it and red/ green isn't explained. There are really bit that many members who follow red and green now. There are some, but not loads. I'd say less than 20% of my group.

As I said, EE is the name of the game to them

See I've found all the guys that have done it in past are doing original and everyone switches when they plateau on ee! Or just get fed up!

As I say in 4 weeks on ee at the start I only lost 1 lb! Thankfully there was another plan for me to try else I'd have left! X

I'm with you Kirsty. I had to go back to red Znd green because I just didn't lose and even put on weight on EE

Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

i'm glad i'm not the only one... i thought i was doing something wrong when i tried it for a full week and put weight on despite being 100% all week.
i have no doubt it works fantastically well for some people but i think red and green is for me

I'm another who didn't "click"with EE when I swapped from green to EE.

Restarting in January, and I'll be following the Green and Original plans most of the time. :-)

I've never actually done a single day of EE! When I started SW, my consultant only explained green to me as I'm a vegetarian. So EE is a complete mystery to me hehe
