What should I call my beauty experiment?

I'm doing an experiment.  But I'm not sure what to title it...  Can you help me?  Let me tell you a bit about it.

Hypothesis
I will lose weight and improve my health, sleep, skin, and general beauty by doing the following:
  1. Eliminate high glycemic foods (including sugar), artificial sweeteners, gluten, and bad fats from my diet.
  2. Take supplements to support health, including fish oil,  multi-vitamin, evening primrose oil (for skin), and probiotic.  Green tea.
  3. Switch my beauty and cleaning products to 100% natural and preferably organic.
How long will I do this?  Not sure yet.  As long as it takes?  As long as I can?  Who knows!
Background
I am a typical American, eating a typical American diet.  High glycemic, sugary products, eating out frequently, gluten (i.e. wheat), and not nearly enough fruits and vegetables.  I have intense sugar and carb cravings.

I would say I have metabolic syndrome (weight issues, inflammation, blood sugar issues).  I gain weight easily and find it impossible to lose it.  I also have a sluggish thyroid and skin issues.  My energy is frustratingly variable and I have trouble sleeping.

My inspiration

I was inspired to do this experiment by a book I've read (and reread), called "The Truth about Beauty" by Kat James.



So what should I call this experiment?  I have to call it something, but I can't think of anything creative!
