Can I eat this way for the rest of my life?

That is what you need to ask yourself when you look at different 'diet' options. Diet fads come and go without offering a permanent solution. Try not to consider it a diet...make it a lifestyle change...something you can keep up when this 10 weeks is over. You don't need to change EVERYTHING about your diet all at once. Choose one new thing a week to focus on. For example...eating breakfast, snacking on fruit instead of junk food, decrease the amount of sodas or juice you are consuming to gradually get it down to very little to none. Small changes can make a HUGE difference, if they last! Pick one change, and make it a habit. Once you've mastered one change, move onto the next. If you make a mistake or miss a few meals of healthy eating, no problem. Forgive yourself and get back on track...
