Some people do find red and green simpler to follow, but having done all plans, I find EE so much simpler, as it's normal eating really. I personally find red and green too restrictive, which is why I fell off the wagon each previous time I did SW. I want meat and carbs, and lots of them without having to weigh. I love veg so the 1/3 veg is easy too. I don't mind the 1 of each Hexs either as I sometimes battle to have 1 of the Hexb as I don't eat bread or cereals.
A couple of people in our group were sticklers with red and green, and it took some time to persuade them to try EE. Since they did they have not looked back as they have had really good losses and love the plan so much that they are not going back!
However, each to their own, and whatever works for you is just great.
