There is a different plany now called extra easy (or smething like that) which kind of combines red and green days so you can have unlimited meat AND potatoes/pasta/rice together which you couldn't on R or G days.
You can however still do the R & G days if you prefer. I go to the weekly groups and the information for red and green is still in the books even though most people now do the extra easy.

Well you get the lists of foods as before, extra easy lists are coloured orange.
You have superfree foods which are most veg & fruit and free foods which is your fish, lean meat, eggs, potatoes, rice, pasta etc. You also have 1 healthy extra 'a' choice (milk, cheese etc) and 1 healthy extra 'b' choice (bread, cereals etc). Plus your syns.
You are supposed to fill at least 1/3 of your plate with superfree foods, 1/3 with free food and then the other 1/3 is healthy extras or syns.
It does work and I find it far easier being able to eat meat & carbs together without using healthy extras. Before I used to use quorn mince to make spag bol or chilli so I could have a green day and have pasta or rice. Now it doesn't matter, I can have the spag bol made with lean mince and have pasta with it, as long as I either have a large salad with it or chuck loads of superfree veg in the bolognaise.
As I said, if you find it easier you can still do red and green days and they do still have all the info for these on the website and in the books.
