I completely agree with you on the variations thing. I noticed that I started getting more focused on the points value rather than whether or not it was a good well balanced diet. For example, if I had 10 points left in the day, I would say "Oh, well I can have a donut and a bowl of cereal", instead of clearly thinking out what would be healthy to eat. I have started to really sit back and evaluate what I am eating lately rather than just filling my points with whatever junk I want to eat.
Now, if I have 10 points left at the end of the day, I eat what is healthy and what makes me full. If I don't reach every single last point but I am full, I still try not to fill it with junky food.
