It's hard to make any major dietary change.  It will take some willpower  
at first, but the longer you stick to it, the easier it will be.  On the  
other hand, sometimes it's easier on a person to "wean" themselves  
gradually, rather than go cold turkey.

If it won't cause you to lose control completely, I'd say go for it.  If  
you feel like you're depriving yourself, you will resist the diet  
subconsciously.  So if you want a potato, have one.  But don't let that  
become an excuse to eat whatever you want, whenever you want.  The  
occasional deviation isn't going to be nearly as big of an issue if you've  
"got it down" the other 95% of the time.
