Problem: Article: Many studies show that one of the best ways to lose excess body fat somewhat quickly is by limiting your total carb intake. To lose weight you can follow a variety of diets low-calorie, low-fat or low-carb. Limiting carbs can help you lose excess fat more effectively than low-calorie or low-fat diets. Carbs are found in a wide variety of foods including: grains, fruit, dairy products, legumes and starchy vegetables. Limit carbs from the grain group the most. The nutrients found in grains can also be found in other food groups. This allows you to continue to meet your nutrient needs. You may also choose to limit starchy vegetables and fruits that are higher in sugar. Limiting these foods still allows you to consume plenty of vegetables and adequate servings of fruit daily. Limit grains, potatoes, corn, peas, carrots, beans, lentils, bananas, mangos, pineapples and grapes. These foods are higher in carbohydrate compared to others. In addition to following a lower carbohydrate diet, studies also show that eating higher amounts of protein can aid in weight loss. Protein helps support lean muscle mass and your metabolism during weight loss. In addition, it helps you stay satisfied longer throughout the day. Including at least one to two servings of lean protein at each meal can help you eat adequate amounts each day. One serving is about 4 oz. Choose leaner cuts of protein to help minimize calorie intake. Try: legumes (kidney beans, lentils, chick peas, nuts and pumpkin seeds); tofu; soy milk; poultry; fish, eggs; low-fat dairy; and lean beef. Both of these food groups offer you a large variety of essential vitamins, minerals and fiber. Fill up on these nutrient-rich foods to help balance your diet. Non-starchy vegetables are much lower in carbohydrates and also low in calories. Include 1 cup of denser vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts or asparagus. Serve yourself 2 cups of leafy greens like kale or spinach. There are varying levels of sugar in fruit. Stick to 1/2 cup serving of lower sugar fruits like blackberries, blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. There is some evidence that shows excess intake of sugar and other refined carbs leads to more excess body fat, especially in your midsection. Minimize these foods to help you meet your goal. Processed foods and restaurant foods often leave out healthy fiber, protein and nutrients found in less processed, more whole foods. Processed foods can include: sweetened beverages, TV or frozen dinners and meals, ice cream and other frozen treats, pastries, chips and crackers, canned soups and meals, and cakes or cookies. Limit these foods as often as possible. If you do consume them, stick to smaller servings to minimize your intake. People who are trying to lose body fat may also want to avoid alcohol. Studies have also showed that alcohol can lead to increased body fat especially in the midsection. Minimize alcohol in your diet while you're trying to lose body fat. This will help you meet your goals faster. Once you have lost body fat and you are on a maintenance diet, you can add in a small amount of alcohol consumption. Women should stick to one serving or less and men should consume two servings or less daily. Skipping meals is generally not recommended - even when you're trying to lose weight. This is especially true if you're pairing a weight loss diet with exercise. If you skip meals regularly, you're at risk for running low on nutrients throughout the day. Although you may notice increased weight loss when you skip meals, your weight loss may actually be coming from the loss of lean muscle mass, not excess body fat. Try to eat regular and consistent meals. Schedule in a meal or snack every three to five hours or as needed. Don't panic most of this fast occurs while you sleep. Restricting your eating to 12 hours a day may help you lose weight, according to one study. You should still eat your recommended daily calories, but limit yourself to only eating during a 12 hour period. So you might eat breakfast at 7am and cut yourself off from eating after 7pm. Though it is not fully understood, this 12-hour fasting period may cause your body to switch from burning food to burning fat.
Summary: Limit carbs. Eat one to two servings of protein at each meal. Eat five to nine servings of non-starchy vegetables and low-sugar fruits. Cut out sugar and refined carbs. Limit alcohol. Don't skip meals. Incorporate a 12-hour fast.

Problem: Article: Wedge nets work by wrapping under your bed and attaching to the ceiling in one spot over your head. Bell nets use the same principle, but they attach over the center of your bed. Thus, there has to be a spot over your bed to attach the net. This will usually be a hook, pin, or fixture on the ceiling. If you can't find a spot over the head of your bed to attach the net, consider moving the bed to a more suitable spot. An overhead beam will work at an attachment point. If there are no good spots available, you can screw a hook into the ceiling or use a strong adhesive hook. Adhesive hooks work well in hotel rooms. Pull the net out of its bag and stretch it out on your bed. Also remove any rope or string that came with the net. Locate the part of the net that attaches to the ceiling. On some wedge nets this part will be a strip of thicker fabric; on other nets it will simply be a loop. On bell nets, there will be a small square of material that forms the top of the bell. Wrap a rope or string through the loop on your net and tie it to the anchor on the ceiling. If the anchor is a beam you should wrap the rope around the beam several times and then tie the end securely. Drape the corners of the net around your bed and tuck them under your mattress. Make sure that you get every inch of the net tucked in. If there isn't enough fabric to tuck under the mattress, you may need to lower the top of the net that is attached to the ceiling. You can do this by letting out slack on the rope or string you used to attach the net.
Summary: Locate an area over your bed to attach the net. Unpack the net. Secure the top of the net to the ceiling. Seal the bottom of the net.

The program will create a new audio file that includes the changes you made. You'll typically be given a choice as to which format you want your exported tracks to be in, including the major formats like mp3, WAV and WMA.
