I know you seem to have found a good balance now with your red days but just wanted to offer an idea for if you did want to give green a go again one day
I always save one of my hex b's for dinner on a green day so I can have meat/fish or whatever along with my other half. He ends up with the bigger portion obv but at least that way we can eat the same dinners and I dont feel like I'm missing out xx

Hi Hun. Yah, I did try that, and it was fine on a day where I was having prawns with my main meal,as the portion size was fine, but I really struggled with any proper meat, like chicken. Basically, I like my meat
I find it much easier to restrict my carbs than protein. But I know loads of people (including my consultant) who LOVE green days, so they obviously work for a lot of people.

That's why I think its great there are different plans to suit the person/day/week etc. I've been looking at red but I'm a bit unsure still to be honest, can't quite get my head around it.
I only tried green for the first time last week, just a couple of days in an ee week and I got my biggest loss since week 1!
having an alternate ee/green day week this week to see if it was a fluke (if so it may end my enthusiasm for green!) Haha

i need to try baked bean lasagne, my other half keeps asking why you would want to put beans in a lasagne! don't think he gets that the beans are instead of the meat! will make it when he's out one day and give it to him for dinner so he can't complain! lol

turkey pizzas are fab, using turkey breast pan fried as the base, they are gorgeous and almost as good as ordinary pizza

Just wanted to update...
I lost another 1.5. Lb this week and I'm over the moon. So, I think that mixing red days in my week does work for me. This is what I'll be doing from now on I think. Red days during the week and EE on weekends, inc. Fridays.
