I've eaten quite normal meals, but definitely had a smaller dinner however I still wanted to snack and I definitely have not noticed any new or unusual food choices. Does this take a few days to kick in? I...

    Thanks RM07, You are doing sooo well. It is a great inspiration to me to speak to people who have lost a lot of weight, living proof that it is possible if I persist. Yes, the mini goals are a great idea. I need to write myself some. B

    Extra Easy-All the Way!

    Jlou am still not convinced myself. Also on red days you can have 2 hex b's which means you can have carbs with one or 2 of your meals, it just means it is measured, which might be better for me as I am not very good at portion control when it comes to carbs.I agree with you, I don't feel like I...

    Extra Easy-All the Way!

    Thank you for helping me Llamasocks, I will try to mix up my veggies more as suggested.I think maybe portion size of the carbs may be the issue. I am not over eating but, coming from an italian family, when you eat pasta, it is a decent portion. Maybe it tipped me over too much because I had...

    Hi Snozzberry, Well done for your great weight loss so far. Yes, I know what you mean, the EE is definitely easier in terms of remembering what you can and can't have.

    Extra Easy: From Flabby to Abi

    Abisauraus, Can I ask you which plan you think you have lost the most weight on? Is is Extra Easy, Red or Green? I love the Extra Easy but I am not convinced this sheds much weight per week. I would like to be convinced by someone who has proof this has worked longterm. Kind Regards, Lella_77
