It tends to vary in all honesty. I think it's CocktailPrincess how absolutely will not support EE for her, it simply doesn't work. Where it's been fine with me, though I do a mix of Green and EE. Others swear by Red, others Green, and others again by mixing. You need to find a balance that works for you. I'd recommend trying a coupole of weeks on Red/Green, while you get your head around the plan, and then see where you go from there. One thing I will say is to make sure you get HEX's in. I'm often found eating cheese on toast at 8pm, because I've missed my HEX's. They are a really important part of the plan. And syns, i have recently started to enjoy my syns in with food, like oil in cooking, or a sachet of sauce mix (as in Coleman's Shepards Pie for example). Good Luck. You know where we all are.
