INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will need to cite the textbook next to information you use from it within the text of your paper. Introduce the author or authors in the sentence. One way to cite a textbook in APA format is to introduce the author in the sentence. Use the last name only. If there are no authors, but there is an editor, the editor should be listed instead. End with the publication year in parentheses. Example: According to Smith, the theory is not sound (2000). Example two: Clark and Hernandez believe otherwise (1994). If you use a quotation or direct passage from the textbook, you also need to indicate the page. List the page number at the end of the quote as noted (p. page number). Example: According to Jones (1998), "Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time" (p. 199). If you do not introduce the author in the sentence, you must include the author's last name in the parentheses that follow the quoted or borrowed text. If there are multiple authors, list all of them. Put a comma after the last name of the author and then the year of publication. Example: This belief was proven wrong thanks to new research (Johnson, 2008). Studies indicate otherwise (Smith, Johnson & Hernandez, 1999).

SUMMARY: Note where you got the information within the actual text. Cite quotations from the text in your article. Cite the author or authors in parentheses within the text.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: They are traditionally made of maize (corn) and served flat, although flour tortillas are made in the north of the country. Tortillas are either used to wrap certain meals or served along with dishes as a way to gather and eat ingredients. Tortillas can be pressed or fried, depending upon how they will be served. Taco shells are often smaller, fried tortillas. Quesadillas are a larger, grilled version. Tostadas are fried to a crisp and loaded with various vegetables and meats.

Chilies are a type of pepper that are used very commonly to flavor meats and dishes. Generally, the bigger the pepper, the less spicy it will be. The larger versions are often stuffed, as is the case with "chilies rellenos." The habanero is 1 of the hottest and smallest chilies that is often made into sauces. Jalapenos are also commonly served. Salsa, meaning sauce, is often made with tomatoes, onions, chilis and cilantro. The spiciness of the salsa varies greatly.

You can find a therapist by asking your doctor for a referral, seeing what is covered by your insurance provider, or seeking free counseling from your college or university if you are a student.

Journaling can help you become acquainted with yourself. Write down your thoughts and feelings on a daily basis. Choose a time, like in the morning or shortly before bed, to record your emotions. Spend time alone. Work on making a conscious effort to spend time alone. You'll be forced to consider yourself and your emotions if you choose to spend a few nights a week by yourself.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Weight loss as slow as 1 to 2 pounds per week is normal. If you were expecting much more dramatic results, then adjust your expectations so that you are not discouraged. Eat a maximum of 6 ounces of protein at mealtimes. Ideally, women should consume 1,500 to 1,800 calories per day, and men should consume 1,800 to 2,200 per day. If your weight loss has stalled, then try counting calories for a couple of days and see what is pushing you out of your acceptable calorie range. If you're estimating, then you may be overeating. Make a new commitment to accurately counting the grams of net carbs that you eat each day. If you aren't eating enough vegetables, then you may become constipated, which could increase the reading on the scale. Many sauces and condiments contain carbohydrates, so be sure to read your labels. Sometimes, dieters overdo their consumption of these products. If you skip a meal, then you will feel ravenous before your next meal. If you allow yourself to become extremely hungry, then you will have more difficulty gauging when you have eaten enough. Over-the-counter medications and some prescription medications can slow down weight loss. Stress causes your body to produce cortisol, a fat-storing hormone, which can deposit fat around your waist. Try yoga, meditation, exercise and other healthy methods to cope with stress and to restart your weight loss. Increasing the intensity of exercise or varying your exercise routine can be a wonderful way to restart your weight loss journey.

SUMMARY:
Adjust your expectations. Manage protein consumption. Count calories. Count your net carbs. Make sure that you consume 12 to 15 grams of carbs in the form of foundation vegetables. Watch for hidden carbs. Cut back on low-carb shakes and bars. Avoid skipping meals. Talk to your doctor about medications. Curb stress. Get some exercise.
