From my own experience and based on what I've heard from others, the change over phase is the hardest. It's amazing how many simple carbs we have in our basic diet. Many people, myself included, go through a kind of sugar-withdrawl that's difficult to handle while it is happening. I've heard some people say they get headaches during this period. That didn't happen to me, but I certainly had HUGE sugar cravings when making the changeover. Some of eating plans allow for diet soda, others don't. Some eliminate all artificial sweeteners (because they also raise glucose levels), which is also very difficult to avoid.
If you don't already eat a lot of veges, this is also a challenge. I don't eat as many as I should, so making the habit of buying and preparing them is a bit of a change.
The easiest? For me it was getting in the water in everyday, as I already drink quite a lot (minimum 8 glasses because I live at high altitude and it's too easy to get dehydrated). I'd also say switching to whole grains was pretty easy, as there are quite a few options out there now.
