I went back in 1998/9 & they only had red & green days. On red days you were allowed much the same as now, except corned beef was also free. & on green days you were allowed the same as now, plus tinned macaroni cheese was free (oh the stuff I used to make with that!). But both plans only allowed 1 HEA, whereas now you can have two so you can have cheese and milk on green or red.
I remember, if you didn't lose much you'd get asked what you ate & if it wasn't tons you'd get told you hadn't lost weight because you hadn't eaten enough! Our consultant would encourage you to stuff yourself silly. Honestly sometimes I'd feel uncomfortably full with the amount I ate, yet I'd still lose weight.
TBH I prefer extra easy. I do have to watch my portion sizes, otherwise I lose very little, but it fits in so much better with the family meals and I feel it's much more of a normal way to eat, ie mixing your carbs with protein.
Anyone else got memories of the SW olden days?
