INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When you take a break from Atkins, you upset the fat-burning process and go back to burning carbs for energy. To effectively continue lipolysis, you need to consistently eat low-carb. You may use low-carb bars or shakes for occasional snacks, but the Atkins diet should be primarily based on whole foods. Just because you're not counting calories doesn't mean that you have a license to eat as much as you want. Use enough mayonnaise when you make chicken salad to hold the mixture together without making it too dry. Drizzle your vegetables with olive oil; don't pour olive oil on them. Avoid pigging out on red meat or bacon. Instead, eat plenty of chicken, fish and soy in addition to occasional servings of red meat. Write about what you tried to do and why you didn't succeed. Also, keep a food journal so that you are holding yourself accountable for every bite that you eat. Try some of these: Stretch your quads (quadriceps). Perform the cobra pose for your back. Stretch your hamstrings. Stretch your back. Clothing should breathe and fit properly. Shoes should provide your feet with proper support and cushioning. For women, a supportive bra is a must.

SUMMARY: Avoid taking breaks from your diet during Induction. Eat whole foods. Stop eating when you feel full. Use fat for flavor, but don't drown your food in fat. Vary your proteins. Write about previous weight loss attempts in your journal. Add new stretches to your regimen. Purchase comfortable exercise clothing and good shoes.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can either use fresh lemon juice, or lemon juice from a bottle. The lemon juice will be added to the jar along with the tomatoes. The juice helps to prevent the tomatoes from spoiling while they are in the jars, and also helps to retain the color and flavor of the tomatoes. Place the jars on a heat resistant surface and begin spooning the quartered tomatoes into the jars. Fill the jars until there is only about of an inch of space left at the top of the jars. Add two tablespoons of lemon juice. You should also add either boiling water or hot tomato juice so that the jar is filled up to an inch away from the top. You could also consider adding other ingredients to enhance the flavor of the tomatoes. Cloves of garlic, peppers, or a sprig of basil make delicious additions to canned tomatoes. Once you have added the lemon juice, gently press on the tomatoes with a spoon to release air bubbles. Air bubbles are bad because they can let bacteria get into the jars, thus spoiling your canned tomatoes. You should also slide a sterilized knife or plastic spoon along the inside wall of the jar, releasing any air trapped there. Place a lid on top of the jar and screw on the band with your hands.

SUMMARY: Choose your lemon juice. Fill the jars with the tomatoes. Remove any air. Wipe away any drips along the top and sides of the jar.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your parents start questioning your relationship with a specific person, you could tell them that you're just friends. This may buy you some more time to keep hanging out. You could even tell them that you're romantically interested in someone else to throw them off the scent. This may be helpful if you want to date somebody who is the same sex as you but your parents don't know that you're gay or queer. If you choose to do this, be very careful about avoiding public displays of affection, like hand-holding and kissing. This is a definite gray area, but it could work if your parents haven't specifically said you can't go on group dates. Invite a whole group of friends, including the person you're going on a date with, to go to dinner, to the movies, or some other fun activity. When your parents ask about what you did while you were out, you can honestly say that you spent time with your group of friends. Tell your parents that you're going over to a friend's house and instead go out on your date. Make sure your friend knows that your parents think you are hanging out together. And make sure your friend is okay with this arrangement beforehand! This is always a little tricky, especially if your friend is going to be out somewhere they might run into your parents when you're supposed to be together. If you and your friend's parents are friends, this may not work. It would be really easy to get caught in a lie the next time they are talking. When you are making plans to see your date one-on-one, either talk in person or use an app rather than the messaging function on your phone. It's easy for your parents to access your messages but if you have private apps that are hidden, they'll be less likely to discover your plans. Check out the apps Telegram, Signal, CoverMe, Viber, and Kibo. They're all free to download, and they each offer ways to keep texts secure and private so that no one else can access them. Malls, restaurants, coffee shops, and similar places that are popular stomping grounds for your friends and family are going to be off-limits for one-on-one dates. If you do decide to go out in public, be aware of your surroundingsyou never know who could be nearby! For example, if you decide to meet at the movies, arrange to arrive and go into the theater at different times. Select seats at the back of the theater so you can be sure that no one will see you. If you or your date can drive, you could go to the next town over to spend time together.

SUMMARY: Lie and tell your parents the person you're dating is just a friend. Hang out in groups so you can technically not break your parent's rules. Ask a friend to cover for you so you can go out on a date. Coordinate your dates through private apps to keep them secret. Stay out of public places where you might see people you know.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Temperatures higher than this allow bacteria the chance to grow and multiply. Use a thermometer to test the temperature if your fridge doesn't have an inbuilt thermometer. Place the thermometer in the fridge and leave the door closed for 5 minutes. Take the thermometer out after the 5 minutes are up and check the reading. There's no need to remove the packaging for this step as it actually helps the sausages defrost faster and more evenly while in the fridge. If you already removed the packaging, you can wrap the sausages in plastic wrap before placing them in the fridge.

SUMMARY:
Test to make sure the temperature of the fridge is below 5C (41F). Leave the sausages in their packaging.
