INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In order to lose fat quickly, you need to significantly reduce the number of calories you consume in a day. Most low-calorie diets involve restricting your daily intake to no more than 800-1500 calories. Before attempting a diet like this, talk to your doctor about how much you can safely restrict your daily calorie intake, and for how long.   Eating such a small number of calories each day is unhealthy for most people, and won’t help you keep the weight off in the long term. Most doctors don’t recommend very low calorie diets (under 800 calories a day) unless you need to lose weight quickly for medical reasons (e.g., if you are preparing for a surgery or trying to manage a medical condition, such as diabetes). The number of calories you need to eat each day to maintain your weight varies based on your age, sex, and activity level. On average, most adult women are supposed to get about 2,000 calories a day, while the recommended amount for men is about 2,500. You may be eating more than you think, however—for example, the average American adult eats about 3,600 calories a day. Before you start cutting calories, write down everything you normally eat in a day and add up the total number of calories.  You can find calorie information for pre-packaged foods on the package, and calorie counts are also available on many restaurant menus. You can also use a website like this one to find the calorie contents of most foods: https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list. If you eat 3,600 calories a day, you would need to cut 2,100 calories per day to achieve a 1,500-calorie daily diet. However, be aware that this is not enough for you to lose a full 1 pound (0.45 kg) of fat per day. In order to lose 1 pound (0.45 kg) of fat in a day, you’d need to eliminate 3,500 calories from your daily diet. For most people, this isn’t possible to do safely unless you’re already eating an extremely high-calorie diet (about 5,000 calories a day). In addition to dropping calories by eating less, you can also burn calories by getting more physical activity. For example, if you currently eat a very high-calorie diet of 5,000 calories a day, you could drop 3,500 calories by cutting 2,500 calories from your daily diet and exercising enough to burn 1,000 calories a day.  The number of calories you can burn with exercise depends on a lot of factors, like your current weight. For example, if you weigh 185 pounds (84 kg), you can burn about 1000 calories by playing basketball for 2 hours. If you weigh 155 pounds (70 kg), you’d have to play for closer to 2.5 hours.  To find out how many calories you can burn with common forms of exercise, use a chart like the one available here: https://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html. Keep in mind that if you’re consuming very few calories, you may not have the energy to safely do a lot of exercise. Going on a low-calorie diet isn’t a safe or effective long-term weight loss solution. If you really feel the need to lose 1 pound (0.45 kg) of fat per day, don’t try to do so for more than a few weeks at most. Your doctor can help you determine the best way to make the transition back to eating a healthy diet without rapidly regaining the weight you lost. Keep in mind that you are likely to lose water weight and muscle mass as well as fat while on a very calorie-restricted diet.

SUMMARY: Ask your doctor if you can safely go on a low-calorie diet. Count your daily calories to find out how much you can cut. Burn extra calories with cardio exercise. Plan to follow this diet for no longer than your doctor recommends.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Most if not all car seat manufacturers recommend that harness straps not be placed in a washing machine or hand cleaned with harsh detergents.  Surface cleaning with a soft cloth, lukewarm water, and a gentle soap if necessary are the typical recommendations. While such delicate care may seem odd for these strong, protective straps that are meant to stand up to car accidents, the concern lies in the fact that vigorous washing and/or harsh chemicals can weaken the tensile strength of the strap material.  This can occur even when the strap still looks strong.  But such weakening would make a failure much more possible in an accident. Focus on wiping away surface stains, and forget about attempting deep cleaning.  Use only a mild soap, like hand soap, if necessary. If the straps are so disgustingly soiled that you can't stand to keep using them, or look worn or damaged in any way, immediately replace them.  Contact the seat manufacturer to see if replacement straps are available.  This should be able to save you from having to buy a whole new seat. Whether plastic or metal, the buckles should be able to hold up to more vigorous cleaning than the straps.  However, they are still essential components that should face minimal wear and tear to ensure they work when it really counts. Simply dangle the buckle on the strap and dip it into a bucket of lukewarm water, then slosh it around a bit to loosen any gunk inside the mechanism.  Clean the surface with a soft cloth and water (and mild soap if needed). Fresh air, sunshine, and time are the best ways to remove odors from harness straps.  If that's not possible, at least let them air dry thoroughly before re-installation.  Never place harness straps in the dryer, or use a hot blow dryer on them.  Extreme heat could also possibly damage the tensile strength. Make sure the inside of the buckle is thoroughly dry as well, to prevent any rusting or corrosion.
Summary: Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Wipe down harness straps gently with water. Dunk the buckle in warm water. Let straps and buckles air dry.

Pat the area dry with a towel. Use pure, undiluted tea tree oil. Tea tree oil has been known to cause contact dermatitis and skin irritation for some people. If you have sensitive skin, buy diluted tea tree oil or dilute it yourself using aloe vera gel, jojoba oil, or honey. A bandage will help keep the tea tree oil from rubbing off while you're sleeping or going about your day. Apply the tea tree oil once before bed and once in the morning for convenience. You may begin to see a reduction in the size of the wart after three days, or it could take almost two weeks to see any difference.

One-sentence summary -- Wash the wart and the surrounding skin using soap and warm water. Use a clean cotton swab to apply a drop of tea tree oil to the wart. Put a bandage over the wart. Repeat the process twice daily.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The illustration here shows a rounded one, but footballs in real life tend to end in points. They should be mirror images of one another, as shown. Don't go beyond the lower line, though, or your football will look a bit unusual. Don't let it reach the two vertical rectangles! They can be as thick or thin as you like, but you probably don’t want to make them larger than the primary line if you’re going for a realistic look. Add more details if you want to, such as more lines to give it a weathered look, or even some players tossing it back and forth. Footballs mostly come in brown, but you might want to make yours the colors of your favorite team, or some sort of interesting pattern--that part is up to you!

SUMMARY:
Draw the football's shape (like a sideways egg) either with rounded or pointed ends. Draw two slightly curved lines near the middle. Draw two rectangles near both edges. Add in a long, thin rectangle in the upper line. Add in eight small, rectangular shapes for the stitches. Outline the picture and erase the guidelines. Color it in.
