Thread: anyone just or red or green days

Do these work? Or is it just extra easy nowadays?

I've tried ee but just can't get he thoughts that I'm doing it wrong ie eating too much, what eat in between meals etc.

I've done sw years ago and did r or g days and just wondered if anyone still does them, if hey work or is ee better for weight loss?

If anyone can direct me to a thread or a something. Please x

I only do Red & Green days. I don't like Extra Easy because I find the 1/3 SuperFree rule too restricting, and I also like the extra Healthy Extras you get with Red / Green.

There's nothing to stop you doing Red / Green days - if you've done them in the past and know that they worked for you, then give them a go! It's about finding what works best for you, as each individual is different and can't really advise which plan gives the "best" losses.

I only do red and green days, well mainly red days, I do 1 green a week if that. I find that I get the biggest losses with red days and they are also the days where I feel most satisfied and in control.

I'm 100% green, I like the extra a + b choice, plus I don't eat meat, hubby does green 95% of the time, 5% EE, and his weight loss has been slower than mine. x

I'm also 100% Green. I like having 2 HEAs and 2 HEBs!

100% green here too. As a strict veggie if I did EE I'd just be diddling myself out of two HE's! x

I do a mixture of EE and Green - Green for when I want the double healthy extras normally. I don't really eat enough meat to make doing EE worth it at home, but when eating out it's a godsend. Think weight loss is slightly slower on EE, however think it's slightly more sustainable as a normal eating plan...

I've just started again today and i'm doing red & green days :0)

Well after reading and reading the books. I'm going to start on Monday and only do red and green days.

It's good to know that other sw'ers follow those plans.

Hi (waving). I have only done red and green, got to target on them and still at target 16 months later! They do work. I have a bit of a gripe with S W about this. Why they no longer mention red and green I dont know really. There are 3 plans not just one. If there had only been ee and I didnt know about red and green when I started back 2 years ago, I would have given up as I struggled with ee.You have to do the plan/s which suit you best otherwise if you struggle you will give up! Hope all goes well for you, let us know how you go on

Thanks for this. So far I rejoined in jan to do it from home. I've tried ee and not really got anywhere. I feel that it was only about ee and the other plans were not mentioned.

I've been to class a couple of times since for further info but I feel like there wasn't any help. Only on here have I found it.

I have now given up on ee. I will be doing red or green days from tomorrow.

Yes when I joined it was just EE, in group talk, and the main book now is just ee, red and green have a separate book!!

I joined last week having last done SW back in 2007! At my intro meeting I was just told about EE and then only discovered that red and green DO still exist in another book!! I just can't really get my head around EE - i definitely love the fact that I can have 2 extra healthy extras on the other days!!
I have been doing EE today and will be doing it for the next few days, just to see if it works but in my 2nd week I think I'll be sticking to the other two days!! It felt a bit too weird having pork with loads of mash today!!

I know what you mean, the first time I did ee (and it wasnt for long) I could not get my head round having sweetcorn and chicken soup!! Hope you had your third superfree with the pork n mash

I did!!!
