I agree Prof Gumby, the tweaking and pinching at the plans tends to derail a lot of people.

I'd put a slightly different spin on this because I agree with the statement that tweaking can get you into trouble. I tweaked Atkins until it was nearly Protein Power LifePlan. Then I read PPLP and switched. I follow the rules of that plan.
My statement would be if you feel the need to do tweaking you should investigate other plans. There are 3 Atkins plans, two Protein Power plans, one South Beach plan with an update to SB coming within a year or so from what I've read, and other plans. The trick is finding a plan that works for you and following it.
Some people, like Judy, talk about tweaking plans but what Judy talks about really is figuring out when the rules of the plan allow you to make choices that don't work for you then figuring out how to make better choices. Her plan allows her to eat grains early on, but she found out that was a killer for her and she warns other people about making that choice because she's seen where it also caused problems for others. That, to me, is smart tweaking, but rarely what people are talking about.
