This gets confusing. I will try to answer it as simply as I can. LA Weightloss was one company and it had franchise (owner operated) and corporate owned centers. There was one weight loss plan and the various plans within the program are designated by colors, red, purple, gold, etc.
Then the two owners went their separate ways. The corporate owned portion of the business because Pure Weight loss and kept the colored coded plans.
The franchise part of the business kept the name, LA Weight loss and they introduced a newer version of the weight loss plan in the Summer of 2007. The Free to Live Menu Plan and it has various plans and they are numbered.
Both plans are very good plans; but they are like comparing apples and oranges. To be successful, you need to follow closely one plan or another.
The corporate part of the business closed shop on Jan 4 so those people who are following the color coded plans are on their own without a COD to weigh in or to get help from.
Carb Cravers is part of the color coded plans and is something available for those on one of those plans. It does not exist on the numbered plans. It is just one of many differences between the color coded plans and the numbered plans.
I have said this before and I will say it again here. I have been on both the color coded plans and the numbered plans. They are both great plans. I, however, would not recommend that someone switch to the numbered plans unless you have the complete menu plan documentation. The reason is this - they are numerous changes and it is not just to the portion sizes. I have to refer to the booklet quite often. If you want to be successful, follow the plan that you have the complete information for.
It is also important that one someone asks a question on this forum that you specify whether you are asking for help regarding the color coded plans or the numbered plans. That is the only way that you will get the correct answer for the plan that you are following.
