I suppose I am probably considered one of these "weirdos"... I officially follow WW ProPoints plan, I point everything I eat, but each day I decide basically if I am having a red day or a green day, either having potato/pasta based meals, or protein based meals.
I had a problem before I started dietting where I was eating too much in the way of cheese and bread - having cheese on pasta dishes, bread alongside each meal to "mop up" sauces, cheese on toast for a snack.. I did SW for about a year which stopped these habits, then thought I was eating too big portions as my losses slowed riiight down, and I couldn't manage with EE when they introduced that, so I moved to WW to get the portion control, then I found I was sneaking in too many cheese toasties again... So I decided to do the SW Red/Green idea with limited dairy and bread, and see how that goes. The values I assign to my foods are WW points though, not syns, and it's working alright so far!
I log everything on myfitnesspal too, to keep an eye on sugar levels and sat.fat. That's just for curiosity though, I'm not too bothered if that site tells me I'm over my limit on something. I'm doing a nutrition course, so I'm interested to see where sugar and stuff hides in products.
Suits me!
