INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It is a good idea to talk to your doctor before starting any weight-loss program. This is especially important to do if you have a medical condition, such as diabetes or heart disease. Your doctor can tell you if following a low-carb diet is safe for you and they can also advise you about the best type of low-carb diet for your situation. If you have diabetes, then cutting out carbs altogether might not be safe. Instead, your doctor might advise you to choose healthy carbs, such as whole grains and fruit. If you have high cholesterol, then eating foods that are high in saturated fat and cholesterol may increase your cholesterol even more. Instead, your doctor may advise you to choose lean proteins, such as skinless poultry, low-fat cottage cheese, and egg whites. If you need to stay under a certain number of carbs each day or balance your macros, then using a tracker app can be helpful. Download an app to use on your phone or tablet. Log all of your food into the app each day to keep track of your carbohydrate intake and other macronutrients, such as fat and protein.

You can also look up the carbohydrates, fat, protein, and calories in a nutrition guidebook or by searching online. Keep yourself on track by joining a network of people who are also following a low-carb diet. You can turn to them with questions about starting or sticking with your diet. Look for online communities for low-carb dieting, such as a Facebook group or sub-Reddit. Join the group and get involved. Introduce yourself when you join the group and let people know you are just starting the diet. Ask group members for help when you struggle with the diet. For example, if you are craving sweets, ask what other group members have done to overcome these cravings. for the week to stay on track.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Store them in a binder with your articles of incorporation, minutes of meetings, list of names and addresses of directors and other principal executives of the organization, membership records, and so on. It can be a good idea to make your bylaws easily accessible to your members by posting them on your website or having them readily available at your offices. While there is no requirement that bylaws should be publicly available, doing so could make your organization seem more accountable and transparent. Having the bylaws on-hand will be useful when you hold membership or executive meetings. Consult the bylaws when you are voting on a motion, deciding on committee or board members, or otherwise engaging in activities specifically outlined in your bylaws. Your meetings will run smoothly, and members will be reassured that their views are properly represented. As your organization changes, your bylaws may also need to change. The key to making the bylaws adaptable to change is to make them flexible and amendable in the beginning. For example, you can include a range of the number of board members the organization will have instead of a hard number. Then you can either amend the bylaws to accommodate minor changes, or revise the bylaws to incorporate more substantial changes. You can make minor changes with amendments, which may cover the addition of a new committee, for example. If you are going to revise the bylaws, you should first hold a meeting of the organization's members in order to provide input on what the revisions should be. Give notice to your membership that you will be holding a meeting to discuss and revise the bylaws, and give them the opportunity to submit changes for consideration. A few subcommittees should work on the revisions: one subcommittee can write the revisions, another subcommittee can check these revisions for inconsistencies, and a third subcommittee can check the revisions for spelling and grammar. Present the final revisions to the membership to vote on the changes.
Summary: Keep your bylaws in a central location in your organization's offices. Bring bylaws to membership and executive meetings. Review bylaws regularly and keep them current.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Scoop the rice into a sheet of plastic wrap and bundle it into a neat little package to safeguard against freezer burn. Then, stick the bundle in a quart or gallon-sized (1.8 l) freezer bag. A plastic storage container with a locking lid will also work just fine. Press as much air out of the storage container as possible before zipping or locking it to ensure that the rice stays fresh. If you're freezing multiple bags, smooth them out and stack them on top of one another so that they lie flat. A thinner layer will make ice less likely to form and help the rice reheat more evenly. Find some room away from heavier items that might damage the container or mash the delicate rice inside. Unlike refrigerated rice, which typically needs to be used within 23 days, frozen rice often stays good for 30 days or longer. That means you can enjoy a hot meal at your leisure instead of being rushed to use up your leftover ingredients before they go bad. Label each container with that day's date so you'll know how long it's been in the freezer. Avoid removing the rice unless you're about to heat it up. Continual thawing and refreezing isn't good for it.

SUMMARY:
Pack the rice into a freezer-safe container. Place the storage container in the freezer. Keep the rice in the freezer for up to a month.
