... to just stick to the one plan rather than mixing it up?
I'm not a veggie but I hardly ever eat meat (unless it's on a pizza!) so the red plan really doesn't grab me at all! Extra Easy seems okay but I've really clicked with the green plan - I find that the carbs make me feel like I've eaten a proper meal rather than 'diet food' and I intend to add meat at least twice a week as Syns.
The only thing that worries me is that I don't want to overload on carbs and bring my weightloss down. At the moment a typical day for me is:
Breakfast: Two small (400g loaf) slices of wholemeal toast with two triangles of Laughing Cow light cheese (both Healthy Extra Bs) plus two or three pieces of fruit.
Lunch: Massive green salad with griddled courgettes, peppers etc, along with remaining three cheese triangles from HEB and a corn on the cob.
Dinner: Jacket with baked beans plus lots of salad. Fruit and mullerlight etc for dessert.
Syns: 250 ml red wine.
Does this sound ok to everyone? I just worry (even though I know I should trust the plan) because I remember my doctor once telling me that I should really restrict my carbs to lose weight and here I am having bread and a potato in the same day!
