Article: Guide the tip of the tool under the string at the edge of the square, then up and out through the other side. Keep sliding it until the crook of the latch hook is nearly level with the square, but don't let the yarn go through. Be careful to only insert the latch hook through one square at a time. Leave about an inch of space around the edge of the canvas in case you decide to mount your handiwork later. If you make a mistake, work the latch hook out of the square and start over. This will place the strand in the correct position for knotting. It will also get them out of the way so you can concentrate on threading the latch hook. Pinch the loose ends firmly to hold them together. If they come apart, they may end up being two different lengths once the strand has been knotted. To complete the knot, all you have to do is go back out the way you came. As you withdraw the tool, the swinging latch will gather up the loose ends of the yarn, pulling them under the section that's anchored to the canvas. It's that easy! Repeat this process as many times as desired to cover your canvas with a dazzling, multicolored fringe. Each time you complete a strand, pause and give the loose ends a quick tug. This will both secure the knot and make the looped section less visible. Latch hook loops aren't as tight as hand-tied knots, which means they're more likely to come undone if they're not properly cinched. Be careful not to pull on the knot too forcefully, or you could stretch out the canvas and leave it looking misshapen.

Thread the latch hook through one of the squares in the canvas. Draw the ends of the yarn to one side. Pull the latch hook back out through the hole. Tighten the knot by hand.

Article: Eating a balanced diet is important for making sure your body gets all of the nutrients in the right amounts to keep you feeling satisfied while eating less. Try to eat a diet comprised of 30% healthy carbs, 20% each of fruits and vegetables, 10% each of dairy and meat, and as little fat and sugar as possible. Healthy carbs include rye, quinoa, oatmeal, brown rice, and other nutrient-rich grains. Choose fruits and vegetables that are rich in nutrients and low in sugars, such as citrus fruits, kale, arugula, and spinach. Many people don't realize how much they eat or how often they're eating during the day. Keeping a food diary for a few days can help you realize what parts of your diet need adjusting. Some people also choose to keep track of how they're feeling and what they're doing when they eat to notice patterns in emotional eating. Additionally, you should keep track of how long it takes you to eat each meal or snack. Eating slowly can help you feel full quickly. Water can help you feel full between meals and curb cravings while not expanding your stomach like food would. However, you can also get water from vegetables like cucumbers, broccoli, carrots, and fruits such as watermelon, plums, and apples. Alternatively, if you don't like the taste of water alone, you can drink tea or flavored water. Check the label on the back of the packaging for saturated and trans fats, which are unhealthy and can cause you to gain weight. Empty calories include almost no nutrients and they should also be avoided. Examples of empty calories include white bread, chips, cookies, jam, fruit juices, soda, and most sugary breakfast cereals. Foods high in saturated and trans fats include margarine, chips, crackers, store-bought baked goods, many frozen foods, coconut, butter, and processed meat. At home, you can make sure you're not overeating by placing leftover food in the refrigerator after putting a serving on your plate. You can take control of your portions while eating out by splitting an entree with someone, or only eating half of what is served on the plate and taking the rest home. Store tempting foods out of the way so that you're not able to access them easily. Many people overeat because they don't know when they feel full, causing their stomachs to expand temporarily to accommodate the food before digesting it. Take your time when you eat, chew each bite thoroughly, and drink water between bites. Your body will signal your brain when you've eaten enough. The normal capacity of the stomach without any food in it is 200 mL, but when it comes time to eat, some people's stomachs can relax to accommodate 1 liter of food or more.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Eat a balanced diet. Keep track of everything that you eat. Drink plenty of water between meals. Eat fewer unhealthy fats and empty calories. Practice portion control when preparing and eating meals. Eat slowly and only until you start to feel full.
