INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You may want to consider including some protein shakes in your daily meal plan. Some studies have shown that 100% whey shakes can help you lose weight, increase muscle mass easier and increase strength. Whey protein is a derivative of milk. It contains all the essential amino acids your body cannot make itself. Since it's a complete protein, it's a high quality protein to use. You can use your protein shake as a snack or use it to fuel or recover from a workout. Remember, try to stay within your protein goal for the day. More is not always better. Other options for protein shakes include egg white protein, pea protein, or hemp protein. You can find protein powders specifically made for women or people with dietary restrictions, such as vegans. Creatine is a fairly common supplement used by many athletes and people looking to improve their performance. Some studies have shown that there are some benefits to using creatine if you want to increase muscle strength and performance. Creatine is made naturally in the body by the liver. It's transported in the blood to help supply energy to all cells. However, most creatine is used and stored by your skeletal muscles. Creatine may help you build more strength and muscle bulk because it provides you with additional energy to do more repetitions and higher weights. You should always talk to your doctor prior to starting any supplements (as they are not regulated by the FDA). Ask if it would be safe and appropriate for you. Discontinue use if you feel any of the following symptoms: nausea, cramping, diarrhea or stomach pains. Having a cup of coffee before a workout is another option that's a natural way of boosting your performance. Studies show that when you drink coffee prior to a workout you can train longer and use a higher weight. In addition, if you're doing cardio, you can finish more quickly. It's typically recommended to drink 1 6-8 oz cup of coffee prior to your workout. This contains about 80-100 mg of caffeine which is all you need before you hit the gym. Do not try caffeine pills or other supplements as these may come with adverse health effects.

SUMMARY: Include protein shakes. Consider creatine. Indulge in moderate amounts of caffeine.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Horizontal stripes help make your body seem rounder instead of long and lean. They accentuate your largest parts and curves, which is a good thing when trying to create curves. Try a wide stripe to help give you some roundness. Black is a slimming color and can emphasize your thin frame, or diminish the curves you do have. Instead, wear bright colors, or even better, patterns that give some texture to your body. If you have a curvy bottom half, but not a curvy top half, then wear a darker color on bottom and a lighter color on top to balance out your shapes. To create an hourglass shape despite your body type, go for styles that cinch at the waist. Make sure to cinch at the thinnest part of your waist. This gives the illusion of more pronounced curves by drawing attention to the smaller waist. Try a peplum top or dress. This style of dress can help emphasize a curvy silhouette despite your body type. Peplums flare at the hips, and narrow at the waist. Wear a belt. Like a peplum, belts help give the illusion of an hourglass figure by helping to narrow the waist and letting the material flare at the hips. Instead of tight fighting cuts, go for loose, flowing garments. These garments, like cinching the waist, make your waist appear smaller while making the rest of your look curvy. Try shirts with sleeves that add volume, like ruffle sleeves or puffy sleeves. Another great look for an hourglass effect is a wrap shirt. Try maxi dresses, mermaid skirts, tulip skirts, pleated skirts, and skirts with layers to help give the illusion of curves. Also try harem pants and dolman sleeves, or ruffles along the front. Either of these styles work well for increasing curves. Skinny jeans will hug your natural curves no matter how large or small they are, and wide leg jeans provide some width and shape to your lower half.
Summary: Wear horizontal stripes. Avoid wearing all black. Cinch the waist. Wear clothes with volume. Try wide leg or skinny jeans.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Don't rely on a tip from a friend or neighbor. The right brokerage service can make the difference between financial success and failure. Before choosing an online brokerage, ask about details like pricing and the available investment choices. Find out about the customer service they provide and whether or not they offer resources for education and research. Finally, find out about their security practices. Depending on the amount of experience you have, you may require different levels of service from an online brokerage service. Some services offer personal advice, which may be beneficial to beginners. You may pay higher fees for these services, but if you're just starting out, you may think the fees are worth it. Online brokers that offer tools and advice to help beginner traders include E-Trade, ShareBuilder, Fidelity, Scottrade and TDAmeritrade. ShareBuilder also offers an ATM card that gives you access to uninvested funds. If you can do all of the research yourself and don't need personal advice from a broker, then consider working with a discount online brokerage. You can start with a smaller sum of money. Also, you have access to more investment choices. In addition to stocks, other investment choices may include options, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, fixed income funds, bonds, certificates of deposit and retirement accounts.
Summary:
Interview online brokers. Decide which brokerage tools are important to you. Work with a discount service if you have more experience.
