Article: Veggies should make up the bulk of your diet because they are low-calorie and contain lots of essential nutrients to keep you healthy. Many experts recommend at least 4 servings of vegetables per day, but if you want to lose weight then you'll need to eat more than that. By planning meals around a generous portion of non-starchy vegetables, you'll feel full without eating too much. Non-starchy vegetables include cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, zucchini, lettuces, asparagus, and lots of other delicious foods that can all be prepared in many different ways so you won't get bored of them. Lean proteins include chicken and eggs, white fish (like salmon and tuna), some cuts of beef, and legumes. Proteins are important for weight loss because eating them helps your body to build lean muscle and boosts your metabolism. A good rule of thumb to remember is that a single serving of most meats is about the same size as your palm. If you don't eat meat, there are lots of plant-based meat alternatives available that are even healthier options! Look for them in the frozen section of your grocery store. Many studies show that if you want to see quicker weight loss results from a diet, you should follow a low-carb diet. Instead of eliminating all carbs, however, you can focus on cutting out refined carbs and processed sugars and eating whole grains and plenty of fiber. This category of food should make up the smallest portion of every meal, just one serving or about 1/4 of the plate. Healthy carbs can be found in fruits, legumes (like chickpeas, lentils, and black beans), whole grains (like oats, brown rice, quinoa, or whole-wheat breads and pastas), and starchy vegetables. Stick to the proper serving sizes of the different types of carbs. Make sure to look at the nutrition label on your foods and measure them properly before eating. Toppings for your favorite foods often are sneaky ways that calories and carbs show up in meals. One tablespoon of mayonnaise, for example, can have up to 90 calories! Restock your kitchen with low-calorie options of the dressings and condiments that you use often. You can also practice seasoning foods with herbs and spices, which naturally have fewer calories and more flavor. . Having an occasional snack can be a part of a nutritious weight loss diet because it will keep you from getting too hungry and overeating. When you do snack, make sure that you're choosing foods that are filling, high in nutrient content, and low in calories. Examples of filling and healthy snacks include: a medium-sized fruit, like a banana or apple; a 1 ounce (28g) serving of your favorite nuts; a small bag of carrots and celery with hummus; and beef jerky. Lots of snacks are available at grocery stores in 100 calorie serving packs. Stock up on these and keep one or two on you during the day just in case you get hungry.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Cover half of the plate at every meal with non-starchy vegetables. Include a serving of a lean protein in every meal. Replace refined carbs with whole grains and lots of fiber. Look for low-calorie versions of your favorite condiments and dressings. Supplement meals with a few small, nutritious snacks throughout the day.

Lay a pencil on its side and use clear tape to firmly fasten it to a tabletop. Leave about 12 inch (1.3cm) of the pencil hanging over the edge. The pencil will anchor your pendulum and keep it from falling down, so be sure to use enough tape to secure it and keep it from moving around. Test the pencil by flicking it with your finger. It should stay stuck to the tabletop. Take a length of string 23 feet (0.610.91m) long and curl one end to form a loop. The loop needs to fit around the pencil, but not too tight or it won't swing properly. Tie a knot with the loop to keep it from coming undone. Slide the loop onto the pencil and slide it off to make sure it's not too tight. Take a 2in (5.1cm) length of metal wire and curl one end of it into a "J" shape to form your hook. The hook will hold the weight that swings the pendulum so shape your hook so it's easy to attach and remove nuts onto it to alter the weight of the pendulum. You can use pliers to curl the metal wire. Use a standard metallic nut as the weight for your pendulum. The hole in the center makes a nut ideal for sliding onto the hook, and you can easily add or remove nuts to experiment with different weights. Slide the nut onto the hook so that it's not able to fall or slide off when the pendulum swings. Do not close the hook around the nut. You can use the paper to mark where you release the pendulum each time so you can see the way the pendulum behaves and swings based on where you release it. Tape the paper so that it is a backdrop behind the hook with the nut on it. Any color paper is fine, as long as you can see the pencil markings.

Tape a pencil horizontally to the top of a table. Tie a loop about 1 inch (2.5cm) in diameter at one end of a string. Make a small 12 inch (1.3cm) hook with a metal wire. Slide a 14 inch (0.64cm) nut onto the end of the hook. Tape a piece of paper on a wall or table behind the hook.
