Article: Fill a colander with your beans and turn your sink on. Run the beans under cool water and move the colander around so that water touches each side of the beans. Move your colander up and down and side-to-side to rotate your beans so that the entirety of each bean gets wet. You only need to soak uncooked pinto beans. If you've got a can of pinto beans, they've already been cooked and only need to be reheated. If you see any blackened or cracked beans, pick them out and throw them away. Add enough water to the bowl to fully submerge the beans. The beans are going to absorb a lot of water, so add enough to cover an additional 45in (1013cm) on top of the beans. If a few beans float to the top, it just means that there's some air trapped in the shell. Don't worry about it, they'll sink as they take on more water. Place your beans in the refrigerator. Let them soak for at least 24 hours. Soaking the beans allows them to absorb some water, making them a little more flavorful when you cook with them. If you don't soak your beans, they'll take much longer to cook and they will taste a little chalky. They can also have some unpleasant digestive side effects if you don't soak them.

Problem: Article: Depending on the formality of your office or your profession, you may be able to wear a maxi dress. Pair the dress with office or meeting appropriate toppers and accessories. Match the print to your office. For example, you may be able to get away with a brightly colored print at an art gallery whereas you'd need something more subdued at a law office. Layer with appropriate pieces. Cardigans or blazers can make a maxi seem more office appropriate. Make sure the proportions of your layering pieces match your dress. Avoid strapless dresses, which are inappropriate for most offices. Be sure that your bra is covered as well. Wear office appropriate shoes. If you don't have any that match your maxi, consider wearing something different. Use accessories such as diamond studs or a patent belt to dress up your maxi. If you are going to a wedding, anniversary party, or any other type of formal event, you may want to wear a maxi dress for comfort and sophistication. Having the right cut, fabric, and accessories can make you look polished and proper at formal events. Wear a more formal fabric like chiffon, silk, or satin. Beaded detailing on the fabric can also impart an air of sophistication. Make sure the cut doesn't reveal too much of your skin.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Many people have a tendency to overlook the importance of vegetables when they significantly restrict carbs and increase protein. Also, some people don't want to "spend" their daily carbs on vegetables, which do contain carbohydrates, however negligible. You run the risk of nutrient deficiencies if you do not ensure that you're getting enough vitamins and minerals. Your goal is approximately two cups of steamed veggies and six cups of leafy greens per day. A pitfall of any diet is not drinking enough water. You need at least 64 ounces per day, although the bigger you are, the more water you need. Your urine should be clear or very pale yellow and you shouldn't feel thirsty. Drinking water increases your metabolism and helps you burn fat. The Atkins diet is a diuretic, and you'll need to compensate for lost water. You need to increase your water consumption even more if you go into a state of ketosis, as water will dilute the ketone buildup in your system. Ketosis can occur on a low-carbohydrate diet, where body fat is used for fuel instead of glucose from carbohydrates. It's much easier to maintain a diet when eating at home. Going out to eat puts you at risk of not finding something within Atkins guidelines, either forcing you to eat nothing and be hungry, or forcing you to go off your plan "just this once." Instead of falling into that trap, do your research. Look up menus online, call around, and see which establishments offer Atkins-friendly foods. The Atkins diet calls for you to record your daily net carbs, which is the number you get after subtracting grams of fiber from your total carbs. Carbohydrates are found in breads, cereals, rice, pastas, beans, fruits and vegetables. There are no carbohydrates in meat or in fat. You count carbs because that is what impacts blood sugar. Fiber is a carb, but it has no impact on blood sugar, so make sure you subtract it from the total carb count of the food. Sugar substitutes, for example, automatically count as one gram of net carbs. Read the labels on your foods. A low-carb, soft tortilla has 11 grams total carbohydrate and 6 grams of fiber. 11 - 6 = 5 grams net carbs. The natural fluctuations in your daily weight can be discouraging and frustrating if you're focusing solely on the number on the scale. Rather than weigh yourself every day, weigh yourself weekly. Take your measurements weekly as well, because you may see measurement changes one week even if you don't see the scale budge much. Exercising will build muscle, which weighs more than fat, and that might prevent the scale from moving some weeks. This is why you should also take body measurements.

SUMMARY: Eat your vegetables. Drink your water. Research before you eat out. Count the right carbs. Don't weigh yourself every day.
