Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Gather your materials. Place 3 or 4 sheets of tissue paper on a flat surface.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make a playlist of your favorite music. Test earphones with multiple genres of music if possible. Download music playlists onto an electronic device. Listen to the music through the earphones.

Answer: The ultimate earphone test involves the music you know best. These tracks are typically what you want the earphones to play well. In addition, you know how these tracks should sound, so you can identify any audio flaws caused by inferior earphones. You can create a playlist in a music program such as iTunes. It doesn't matter what genre you use as long as you know the songs well. Search online to find music recommended for testing, such as at https://www.whathifi.com/features/10-best-tracks-to-test-your-headphones. You can also download non-music audio files to give your earphones more accurate tests, such as at https://www.audiocheck.net/soundtests_headphones.php. Using multiple genres helps test the full range of sound earphones can produce. Different genres of music may focus more on higher or lower pitches. Orchestral music is often used for a wide range of pitches. Rock music can be good for higher pitches, while jazz music is often helpful for testing lower pitches. For higher pitches, look for loud vocals, guitars, and drums. For lower pitches, seek out low, steady bass lines. If you don't listen to a wide variety of music, that's okay. It's more important for you to know the songs well so you can decide if the earphones give you the sound profile you desire. Downloading the playlist onto your device allows you to test the earphones as soon as possible. You may be able to bring a phone or an MP3 player into the store with you so you can test earphones before you buy them. Plug the earphones into your device and play your music. Keep any online audio tests bookmarked on your phone or computer so you can access them without downloading any files. Many times you can't test earphones before buying them. When this happens, make sure the store has a good return policy in case you are dissatisfied with the sound quality. Plug the earphones into your device and go through the tests 1 by 1. Be sure to check the overall audio quality as well as its range. Make sure you are able to hear your playlist fully and without obnoxious buzzing. By doing this, you have a better chance of finding earphones that are right for you. The only way you can really test earphones is by using them.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Cut carbohydrates. Eliminate junk food. Eliminate sugar from your diet. Increase protein intake. Increase water intake. Limit salt. Eat a 500 calorie deficit. Eat smaller, more frequent meals. Pay attention to nutrition labels.

Answer:
To lose weight quickly, you should eliminate the sugars found in most carbohydrates. Simple, or bad, carbohydrates include foods like bread, pasta, and potatoes. All carbohydrates break down into glucose which provides your body with energy. In a weight loss study, people who cut out carbohydrates were more likely to lose weight than going on a low-fat diet. Cutting out carbs will help suppress your appetite and lower your blood sugar. Complex carbohydrates, or 'healthier' carbohydrates, are found in whole wheat, vegetables, fruits, and beans. These do not have to be completely eliminated from your diet but should be eaten in moderation. Junk food will stop you from losing weight. Eliminate it totally from your diet and from your home. You should remove junk food from temptation; clean out your pantry, fridge, and freezer. Avoid eating out at restaurants where these temptations are present. Some junk food to avoid include: Sugary drinks - This includes any drink that has sugar as an ingredient. The most common of these is pop/soda. However, some fruit juices have added sugar. Pizza White bread and pasta Butter or margarine Pastry, cookies, and cakes French fries and potato chips Ice cream Processed meats and cheeses High calorie coffee drinks Most fast food Most processed foods Foods high in sugar The American Heart Association recommends an adult woman only eating six teaspoons of (about 100 calories) of sugar per day. To lose weight rapidly, you may need to eliminate even this much. Just because you cut junk food from your diet does not meet you have cut all sugars. Sugars can be hidden in foods such as breads, condiments, and sauces. Always check your nutrition label for the sugar content in food. When trying to lose weight, upping your protein intake may be the key. Protein will help you lose weight but keep muscle mass and help you burn calories more quickly. Consider doubling or even tripling your recommended daily amount (RDA) of protein to lose weight. Your RDA will depend on your gender and height. For example, a 5'5" (165 cm) woman should eat around 90g of protein a day. The average protein intake, for weight maintenance, for the average adult is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. To calculate individual need, multiple your body weight, in pounds, by .36. This will give your RDA of protein in grams. Healthy proteins include greek yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, steak, ground beef, chicken breasts, yellowfin tuna, halibut, salmon, anchovies, navy beans, lentils, peanut butter. Studies show that drinking 16oz of water before a meal will help you lose weight. It makes you feel more full and helps keep you hydrated.

Studies have shown that the reduction of sodium in diets can help rapid weight loss. Avoid eating salty foods to reduce salt. Further, many pops/sodas have a high salt content. Always check the nutrient label for salt content in foods. Limiting salt can also help reduce your blood pressure. Doctors recommend a salt consumption of around 1,500-2,300mg of salt per day. Processed foods can be high in salt. If you did not freshly prepare a meal, always check for nutritional information. There may be more sodium in what you are eating than you realize. To lose weight, you should calculate how much calories you're burning per day and eat around 300-500 calories less than that. However, be careful not to restrict yourself too much. On average women should eat no less than 1500 calories a day and men no less than 1700. You must be careful with this! You should not starve yourself; that will make you sick and feel miserable. To calculate your daily calories, you should consider how many calories you are burning at rest and how many calories you are burning during exercise. There are a number of helpful guides online to tell you how many calories specific exercises burn. There are even online programs that will do the math for you. Do an internet search for "calorie calculator" or "calorie tracker." The number of calories you will need to consume depends on your weight loss goals, age, gender, fitness level, and height. If you are a 5'5" (165cm), 150lb (68kg) woman who does light exercise, you will want to eat around 1,100-1,500 calories to lose 1-2lbs per week. Eating smaller, healthier meals, more frequently will make you feel better and give you more energy. It will also stop you from feeling hungry which will eliminate your temptation to eat more.
