Yes, by the time you are completed this six week program you can strut your stuff at the Jersey shore in a speedo if you wanted; but please, don't!
Just because you *can* doesn't mean you *should*.

This first week you should think of your plate as no bigger than a small speedo. If it is a large speedo, or a pair of bulky long swim trunks, that is too much food. Not a salad plate but yes, a smaller plate with smaller portions.
How do we remember smaller portions? Easy. Just think of the top of a string bikini. The left cup should be your meat. The right cup should be your carbs, like your pasta or potatoes. The bottom of the bikini should be your veggies.

Think of activities for your snacks. You are not to snack beach-ball size, but tennis ball size. You can have six snacks a day - the size of a tennis ball. However, they should be healthy snacks if possible. 
SO, three small meals a day with six portion controlled snacks.

Activity: Up your activity to 20-30 minutes a day.
That means if you are fit, you add 20 minutes to your program, and it can be in intervals of five minutes so by the end of the week, you work up to 20  or 30 minutes. 

If you don't work out at all, start with 5 or 10 minutes a day of  "something". Then add until you are at 20-30 minutes by the end of the week. You can do it!

Also, don't discount just a healthy, active lifestyle. It's warmer out - get out there and walk, flea market, do whatever you enjoy!
