I think there can be too much informatoin, if you try to follow all the plans to the letter at once

This WOE is a learning process. You learn what your body can and can't tolerate, as well as what you can live with. Reading the different books gives you an idea of your options, as well as the science behind each on.

For me I will probably end up using ideas from multiple plans on maintanance. In the begining though I think it's important to pick one plan and follow it to the letter for best results, and also to dicover what does and doesn't work for you.
