I was on purple and started gaining. Problem with purple and blue is you get a lot of free foods and if you don't watch those free foods you gain because you are still eating calories. I am on green and even though I only get very limited free foods, I know exactly how many points I'm eating. I checked the difference and if you look at the points in each program, there is really a very small amount of free foods you can eat to hit the points difference. Don't get thinking you can eat all the free foods you want.

Jess Bernard Thank you but I disagree. I spent 6 months losing 40 pounds 2 years ago and have kept it off but when I starting eating more free foods than I had and still kept my daily in check, the pounds started to come on, free or not, they still add to your daily intake and I believe the words free eat all you want is misleading to new people.

I’m on purple. so far I’m liking it. The majority of what I eat and cook is in the zero point foods (and once I looked up the points for my dearly loved Pepsi, and the few fast food places I used to go to for lunch. it was an easy choice to eliminate those). I get 18 points, and I usually only use 1 or 2 in the morning, and 1 or 2 in the evening. so that gives me the bulk of my points to use from 11-3 when I’m hungry at work. Making grilled chicken at home, cutting into cubes and taking to snack on has been great. My week 1 weigh in will be Tuesday morning, so we shall see.

Purple is good for those with self control. If you can eat the zero foods within reason, go for it! If you need more structure go with blue.

I ❤️ purple because potatoes and oats are 0 but watch your portion control it’s easy to overeat and 0 point food still contains calories !

I have been on purple. I feel that it is hard to stay within the points if you don’t really utilize the zero point foods. If you plan with the zero point foods, and get some activity, it could work.

@angelus this was my problem. Unless I had oatmeal for breakfast and pasta floor dinner, I ran out of points and was still hungry! I decided I didn’t eat them enough to justify being on people.
