A great first step towards a low-carb lifestyle is to cut out all of the major carbohydrate culprits. You don't need to cut them all at once. You can cut them out 1 at a time to make it more manageable, such as by replacing sodas and other sugary drinks with water and sugar-free beverages. Some common sources of refined sugars and simple carbs include: Before you go full low-carb, you may want to replace your carbohydrates with some better carbohydrate options, such as whole grains. Start slow and just replace 1 serving of your usual carbohydrate foods with 1 serving of a whole grain alternative each day or week. After a week or 2, you will be eating fewer simple carbs and more complex carbohydrates, which will reduce your overall carbohydrate intake and keep you feeling fuller for longer. Some good complex carbohydrate options include: White potatoes are another major source of simple carbs, so replacing them will help you in your transition to a low-carb lifestyle. You can bake and use a sweet potato or other root veggie similar to how you use white potatoes. Some good options include: Baked sweet potatoes or yams Roasted carrots, kohlrabi, or beets Mashed turnips or rutabaga Celery root or daikon radish fries When you are ready to start transitioning to a low-carb diet, start making simple swaps by replacing your carbohydrates with low-carb alternatives.

Summary: Cut out refined sugars and simple carbohydrates. Switch to whole grains as you transition away from carbohydrates. Replace white potatoes with sweet potatoes or other root veggies. Try some simple swaps to reduce your carb intake.

Acrylic and other synthetic yarns do not take dye very well, if at all. Your yarn need to be 100% wool, such as alpaca or sheep. Other natural fibers, such as cotton, may also work. White yarn will give you the brightest colors. If you want a softer effect, try gray, cream, or beige instead. There are lots of things you can use to dye your yarn with, including liquid food coloring, gel food coloring, and flavored juice mix (ie: Kool Aid). You can also use professional dyes as well, but you'll need to use special utensils for that to avoid contaminating your cookware. You can use just one color, but two or three will make your yarn look more interesting.

Summary: Buy some natural fiber yarn. Choose 1 to 3 colors of dye.

If you want your cherries on the super-tart side, add less sugar. You can also use a sugar substitute (like Splenda), honey, or agave syrup. To get the cherry pits out, score them along their sides with a knife. You may be able to pop the pits right out -- or just take a butter knife and wedge them out if they're being difficult. The cherries need time to soak up the sweetness of the sugar. It'll be so tangy that you'll need the water to dilute it later. You're looking for one mostly uniform consistency (the cherry chunks will keep it from being entirely uniform). Then reduce the heat and simmer for fifteen minutes. It should maintain a light bubble the entire time, reducing the liquid and turning almost syrupy. Squeeze all the moisture from the cherries into a separate saucepan. Don't just strain it -- really squeeze out all the juices. You're finished with the cherries; you can throw them away. Or keep them for a topping or a preserve! Then take the pan off, let it cool to room temperature and move it to a sealed vessel for storage in a refrigerator. That's it! The consistency is right; this is basically tart cherry juice concentrate. It's not supposed to be like juice -- it should be much thicker. Sparkling water (or even just water) works, too. Feel free to experiment with the ratio to find your personal taste. It may take a try or two -- but once you find the right combination, it'll be easy. Keep the rest in a resealable container to save for later. It'll keep for a couple weeks if kept tight and in the refrigerator.

Summary: Put the clean, seedless cherries and sugar in a saucepan. Cover the pan and leave at room temperature for 2 hours. Add the 1/2 US-pint (950ml) of water and stir until all the sugar dissolves. Bring the contents up to a boil. When finished, strain the mixture. Simmer the strained liquid until it thickens like maple syrup. To serve this drink, put one or two spoons of it into a glass of soda water.

CSS be applied in the head of an HTML document, or it can be written as an external CSS document. The head of an HTML document is at the top of the file. It's in between the "<head>" and "</head>" tags. The style section goes in the head of your HTML code, or on a separate style sheet. Use the following tags to create a style section in your HTML or style sheet document. Type <style> to open your style secton. All CSS code goes after this tag. Type </style> to close your style secton. All CSS code goes before this closing tag. p {indent-text: 5em;} This creates tells the browser to create an indent space of 5 spaces when at the proper HTML code. You can adjust the number of spaces by typing a different number after "indent-text:". The "em" unit is equivalent to one space at the specified font size. You can use other units, such as percentage (i.e. "indent-text: 15%;") or measurements (i.e "indent-text: 3mm;"). This goes in the body of your HTML document anywhere you want to indent your text. This will add an indent in your text that matches the specifications in your CSS.
Summary: Open an HTML or CSS document. Create a style section for your CSS. Type the following tag in the style area: Type <p> where you want to add an indent space.
