In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The glycemic index classifies foods that contain carbohydrates based on their impact to your blood sugar. The higher the food on the glycemic index, the higher its impact on your blood sugar levels. Insulin resistance occurs in your body when a normal amount of insulin released by your pancreas no longer has the appropriate impact on your blood sugar levels. Some scientists believe that eating too many refined carbohydrates and sugars will increase insulin resistance in the body. Known risk factors for insulin resistance are obesity and inactivity. Low-GI foods, like fruit, vegetables and skim milk raise your blood sugar in a slow and regulated way. These foods may also help to prevent insulin resistance. Sugary fruits like bananas and pineapple, along with sweet corn, dried fruit and some ice cream can cause some spikes in your blood sugar. White bread, white rice, potatoes and watermelon are examples of high-GI foods. These foods cause significant spikes in blood sugar. Diets like NutriSystem claim that insulin resistance makes people overweight. Most scientists agree that being overweight is the cause, not the outcome, of insulin resistance. However, many low-GI foods are also very healthy foods that can assist with weight loss efforts.
Summary: Define the glycemic index. Learn about insulin resistance. Understand how low-GI foods affect your blood sugar. Understand the effects of medium-GI foods. Know how high-GI foods affect blood sugar. Learn how blood sugar levels affect weight loss.

Active characters are more interesting and relatable than passive ones. The protagonist in the series should be motivated and make decisions, for better or worse. They should be active participants in the plot and their decisions should affect the action in the book series. Your main character will sustain you, and your readers, through the length of your series, so make sure it is someone who will not wear out their welcome. Your protagonist will be viewed as a member of your readers' family or a close friend. Readers will care about what happens to them. For example, you may have a main character who is a teenage high schooler who wants to win a spelling tournament at their school. This way, your protagonist is motivated by the need to win. To make your protagonist feel relatable and believable, give them a backstory. Backstory is a character's past actions or experiences. It usually affects or informs their behavior in the present. For example, your character may have an addiction or a divorce in their backstory. This can make them seem more real. You may have a protagonist that have a difficult childhood or that has struggles with their identity or their sexuality. Keep in mind that issues like an addiction or a medical condition will need to ring true throughout your series. In other words, you can't have your character obtain a "miracle cure" if you're tired of writing about this problem by the third novel. If your main character is an adult, they may have a specific profession. If your main character is a child, they may be occupied by going to school or by living at home. Decide how your main character occupies their time day to day and add this to their backstory. One option is to go for a profession where your main character can interact with a variety of people. This will increase your ability to create new problems for your character to solve that relate to their job. For instance, your protagonist could be a hair stylist who continually finds himself drawn into the mysteries and personal lives of his clients. Or, she could be a corporate lawyer whose expertise in white collar crime makes her sought out by the police for help on new cases. If your protagonist ages throughout the series, make sure they also develop their skills and perceptions as they age. Their relationships with others should also deepen and shift as they get older. For example, maybe your main character has a best friend that they grew up with and are still close to. This relationship could then be central to their life and affect their decisions or experiences. Their best friend may turn out to be a con man, for example, which will complicate the main character's relationship to them. Regardless of whether you're writing a long-term mystery series or a science fiction trilogy, your protagonist will encounter recurring characters throughout your series. By giving these characters the attention they deserve, you will be able to surround your protagonist with a interesting ensemble. Minor characters are a useful way to introduce personalities that can challenge or work against the main character. Recurring characters can also be used to offer occasional comic relief if your main character is typically involved in solving grisly murders. Maintaining consistency throughout your series is one of the most important jobs you will have as a series writer. To assist you with this, create a character bible that includes information on ages, birthdays, physical characteristics, personality types (such as nervous habits or annoying behavior), and back stories of each character. Remember that characters you introduce in the first book will probably play a role in subsequent titles. For instance, if your main character is divorced with two children, those children will have to play some role in future books. Family trees can also be useful for keeping track of the extended family of your main character. It is useful to keep your character information all in one place, either in a notebook or on a spreadsheet.

One-sentence summary -- Make the main character active and likeable. Give your main character an interesting backstory. Determine your main character's occupation. Create deep personal relationships for the main character. Develop compelling minor characters. Keep a character bible.

Q: If you give birth, hold your baby against your skin immediately. This will help awaken the nursing instinct, and your baby should begin to breastfeed within the hour. If you have induced lactation, do the same, but have some formula or donated milk on hand to supplement what you have. If you wait too long to start nursing, it can lower your milk supply. Breastfeed 8-12 times a day for the first several weeks. This means breastfeeding every 2-3 hours, including several times at night. Doing it less may lower your milk supply. Don't skip sessions. If your baby is sleeping or needs to be bottle-fed, pump at the time you would normally be nursing. Don't wait for your breasts to refill. You should still have milk even when your breasts are not swollen. There are many ways to signal to your body that you would like to nurse. It may be enough to hold your baby against your bare skin. Apply a warm compress or towel soaked in warm water to your breast. Stroke your breast lightly with your fingertips. This will relax you and can stimulate your milk-ejection reflex. You may also massage your breast much in the way you would conduct a self-exam. Press your fingers flatly and firmly against your milk glands and milk ducts. Massage them in slow, firm circles. Massage from the outside in a spiral towards the areola. Lean forward and lightly jiggle your breasts. Gravity should help draw milk into your nipples. After your baby has nursed energetically on one side and has slowed down, switch them to the other breast. Your milk supply will decrease if your baby strongly favors one breast over the other. Your baby's latch will be stronger if they learn how to suckle your nipple before they learn how to suckle a pacifier. If you would like to give your child a pacifier, wait 3-4 weeks after birth. The stronger your baby's latch, the more milk you will produce.
A: Start breastfeeding as soon as you have your baby. Breastfeed your baby 8-12 times a day. Stimulate your milk-ejection reflex. Nurse on both sides. Wait before introducing a pacifier.
