extra easy not so easy!

[ermintrude]

I do EE maybe once a week but Im usually Green as I love me HEXes. I neeeeeed my toast and coffee with Marmite for brekkie nearly every day so that would be them all gone if I did EE! I also like a bit of cheese with my lunch most days. On Green tat still leaves me a HEX for a bit of chicken or something else at teatime, as well as all my syns, but I only have meat every other day or so so plenty of room for HEXes. Green for the win!!!

EE suits me just fine.

My hexA everyday is 350ml skimmed milk - basically I love my cups of tea, or add a splosh into scrambled egg or on cereal.

My hexB's alternate every other day- 2 weetabix for breakfast one day and 2 slices of hovis wholemeal nimble the next. Sometimes I "bend the rules" slightly and have 1 weetabix with a banana for breakfast to bulk it up and then 1 slice of the bread later on in the day.

If I want cheese or extra bread or anything, then I just syn it.

No problems at all for me.....

I love EE. I often find i still have my HEA left in the evening. I always use my HEB at brekkie, and eat far more interesting things for lunch thana sandwich. I also don't gey sleepy in the afternoon now.

I tried red & green days for a while as i had been told that I would loose more weight. All i found was that i was having to think far too much about my meals, often falling off plan because i felt restricted & generally hated it,

Extra easy works just as well as the other plans - if you follow it properly & keep to the 1/3rd superfree recommendation - and is a lot more family friendly as well.

It all depends on individual taste really. I have always done lots of red with a few green thrown in and very very few ee because I am not keen on veg and hate salad. We are all different but the beauty of S W is that there are three different plans to chose from, it is very flexible

Ah yes - Spot on! Its all about choice. I imagine there are just as many people who struggle with EE as they don't like veg, as struggle with Red & Green due to the restrictions.

I find EE difficult as I like cheese too much. Sometimes on green all 4 hex choices are cheese related

I do that too lol!

Can't believe how many replied to my thread! Enjoying green today, I don't eat a lot of meat anyway so not a problem. EE is good if I want to eat meat or fish but think I would rather stick to green. Although EE is great if eating out.

I enjoy all 3 plans ;-)

I don't struggle with EE. I use the same Healthy Extra choices day in, day out. Milk and bread.
If I feel like I want extra bread, or some cheese or something, I'll put it in my Syns. Sometimes I end up with 8 or 9 Syns left at the end of the day, and treat myself to a Muller Crunch Corner yogurt, or something.

You should use your syns. If you don't, you're not following the plans correctly - determined or not, they are there to be used!

What will you cut down on when the going gets tough or you want a boost?

I'm using some sins but nit 15 a day can't eat bread anyway

Aslong as you have atleast 5 a day-which is the minimum SW recommend it should be fine-but don't be afraid to use more-they are an important part of the plan, and there to be used x

I've always done EE but some days I tot up what I've had and realise it's a green day so I have a treat of toast and apricot conserve! Rarely do I eat cheese though
