Question

Blue vs green, I cant decide! Pros and cons of each?  

Answer 1

Green has really helped me. Bc you’re supposed to eat your points and i need that structure. Since i have issues with over eating/ and then eating enough.  

Answer 2

I like green for the fact that you get more points to eat whatever you want, rather than eating chicken breast, eggs, and Greek yogurt. I get sick of eating those all the time!  

Answer 3

I need the accountability of green. I wouldn’t do as well with so many zero point foods. I need to count everything.  

Comments

@beggary I thought green had the most zero points?  

---

@radburn3433 No on the green only fruits and veggies are 0 points

---

@socher9 Oh ok

Answer 4

How many points is chicken, eggs, Greek yogurt on green?  

Comments

@judicature eggs and 3oz chicken is two and 1/2 cup Greek yogurt is one

Answer 5

I needed the accountability of green with the emphasis on portion sizes. More points gives you many options and a variety to choose from and as you are loosing you’re points adjust.  

Answer 6

I prefer green for the accountability, as only fruits and veggies are zero.  

Answer 7

They are basically the same thing. You get more pts on green, but you just use them on the zero pt foods you get on blue. It's a trade off.  

Answer 8

Do I personally have done both and love blue! Tracking gets old after you have done it for so long and I love the freedom of not having to track certain things (Greek yogurt, beans, eggs, chicken) and just not having to worry about it. and I don’t ever over do it on 0 sp items so blue works for me. I limit myself to a certain amount per day. I do post all my meal ideas and inspiration for blue  on my IG page if your interested in following along with my journey.

@depilatory consider purple if you haven’t already done so. I find that plan working well for me.

@krishnakrishnah1095 I do not trust myself with 0 sp pasta and potatoes lol

Answer 9

Green keeps me more accountable!  

Answer 10

I have done both and I personally would prefer blue. I feel like I have more freedom with my choices and not as restricted. Plus, I dont count zero point foods and on green I had to count basically everything and it was exhausting and hard to keep track of. I dont feel as deprived on blue like I did with green. You can always try them both out but to remember to give each plan minimum two weeks to try, you should know by then on which really works for you.  

Answer 11

Try taking the quiz to see which suits you best. I used to do smart points and was very successful so I went back to green which is most like that system.  

Answer 12

Purple for me! i still weigh and measure so i don't get carried away with serving size

Answer 13

I think blue is most similar to freestyle

Answer 14

Myself as well, love the carbs available with zero pts and love everything whole grain as well!  

Answer 15

green can work better with it tried but struggled

Answer 16

You need to find the color that is suited best for you and then all is well! Don’t pick one just because others are having success with it.  

Answer 17

If you fill out you profile and do the questionnaire when joining, the program considered best for your lifestyle will be recommended. For ME, Green is too strict and Purple is too liberal.  

Answer 18

I felt there were too many zero point things on blue. I’m on Green

Answer 19

I like blue. Want the zero point foods, like eggs, Turkey, chicken , etc. That I don't need to track. Plan my day around them, then just add low point foods to round it out. Lost 93 lbs on Free Style which is now blue. Under goal for over 2 years and lifetime.  

Answer 20

As long as you can manage it well blue is very good. The zero point foods are a real plus. They make it easier

Answer 21

Started on blue and never left.  

Answer 22

Started Blue and remained on Blue. works for me. I made Lifetime and still follow the plan  

Answer 23

Well if you’re a member you will have the book that they give you when you join and they give you a breakdown of every color with a comparison of each

Answer 24

Or just google WW green blue purple plans, and you will find comparison lists on a number of sites. It helps to read a list of the features of each plan.  

Answer 25

Depends on you as an individual!  

Answer 26

Ultimately you should be eating the same amount of food with all of the plans, the difference is in how much structure you need, and how much you want to put time/effort into tracking. The green plan is the most structured. You get more points but have to track more items. Blue has less points but more free foods. If looking at the free foods list for the blue plan you feel like you will be able to eat from these and stay within serving sizes or not overindulge on these, then the blue plan is a good fit and you have less tracking to do. If you feel like you need structure and to be accountable for every food even those on the free food blue list, then pick green. You can switch at any time if you find you are struggling. Good Luck!  

Answer 27

Take the quiz , you can always change

Answer 28

I stick to what works free food list 40 pounds last year on it again

Answer 29

Green gives you more points and less 0 point foods while blue is the opposite. If the bulk of the foods you want are not on any of the 0 lists gree would give you more points to use on other items. Blue has the benefit of eggs, most vegetables and turkey/chicken breast being 0 points while green only has the fruit. I have lost 30 lbs on blue some people find blue to have too much freedom with 0 point foods.  

Answer 30

Love blue!  

Answer 31

If you don't have portion control problems or problems with snacking, then blue is good. Otherwise green is the one.  

Answer 32

I switched back to green, I was not doing well on blue. I need to be accountable for everything I eat. So I don't get as many zero point foods, but it's what works better for me.  

Answer 33

Love Blue

Answer 34

Green is more like the original plan and keeps u completely accountable

Answer 35

Green! You get more pts for foods for the day, yes you have lessss 0 pts foods BUT it keeps you more accountable if you have a weakness for blue 0 pt foods. Also I feel like I have more choices with mroe pts

Answer 36

Green to lose faster

Answer 37

Green I've tried them all. seem to do better on green

Answer 38

I switched to purple from blue because I wasn't using enough points. I really like purple.  

Answer 39

I use to love green but I have found blue helps me control my intake of carbs and sugar better
