Well, I can only answer for myself. I do mostly green days with a few extra easy thrown in if I want meat. The simplest answer is that green is very easy to do on the cheap and I like the extra healthy extras. I don't have to worry about always making up a third superfree as that can get very expensive to do, even with using frozen veg.

Oh yes, cheese.... Mmm. I had a lovely spinach and cheese pasta bake for my tea that wouldn't have been possible on EE as I used 1.5 HEA (I split one HEA so I could have some milk in my coffee this morning) and 1 HEB choice on cheese. I'd have had to syn most of the cheese on EE.

Personally as I am veggie Green is the only logical choice for me. I like the fact that you get 2 of each HE too

I find i lose weight easier on Red Days as i don't eat such large amounts of pasta and potatoes. My portion control goes out of the window on Extra Easy days. Plus i like the extra HEs.

why dont i do EE ????? because its not "easy".....because i eat "extra" and you only have one healthy extra A and B. Having the freedom of two healthy extra A and B is more rewarding.

I like green days when I'm at work cos i can have tins of ravioli, baked pot and beans without having to have a salad with it xx

Double hexs, less strict on the Superfree rule, better losses for me - I just can't do extra easy!

Easy, four Healthy Extras and you can spend them all on cheese if you want! As well as extra things you can spend HEXB on.
Extra Easy seems a bit pointless to me, if you *do* want meat theres usually plenty of space in 2 HEXBs to fit it in (and often still have some HEX leftover) and you still get the extra HEXA! But I only eat meat a couple of days a week so why waste an extra 2 HEXes?
I do do EE or Red once or twice a week, but Green easily accommodates most meals IMO.

if I do all EE I don't lose weight, plus I find it hard with the 1/3 superfree as I'm not a veggie fan. If I do all Green I lose very little cos of too much carbs (doesn't mix well with someone with PCOS), and if I do all red...well i get bored of meat and NEVER lose...If i mix all the days I seem to get a balance. Mixing days seems to help me lose weight, I tend to do 2 EE, 3 Green and 2 red and lose around a pound or so (slow loser anyway)

And for me I do red and green because I cant stand salad and not very good with veg. I used to do S W years ago and found the red and green easy to understand so have just continued this time. And like others I like the extra HEx a and b. What annoys me though (rant time) is that the consultants dont mention these two other plans! Not everyone is a fan of ee but I can see that if you like veg a lot and salad then it would work and would be quite easy.
