Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Try and remember the last time you had a good day. Monitor your consumption of alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine. Notice if you are forgetting to eat (or forgetting to stop). Recognize manifestations of resentment and cynicism.

Answer: One of the classic signs of burnout is negative apathy — like you would be a fool to care. As you might imagine, people who feel a high degree of negative apathy don’t find many reasons to find enjoyment in their surroundings. If the last time you can remember having a good day was long ago (or you can’t remember), then know that you need to make some changes in your life. When every day starts to seem like a bad day, burnout is just around the corner. An increase in consumption of alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine can all be signs of impending or current burnout. The increase can be a manifestation of a cause or symptom of burnout, depending on where the increase occurs. An increase in caffeine or tobacco, which are both stimulants, can be a manifestation of the feeling of insufficiency at the root of burnout. On the other hand, an increase in alcohol consumption can be a sign that the drinker is trying to blunt their emotional responses. While stress is essentially an overreaction to stimuli and burnout is a loss of reaction to stimuli, prolonged stress can lead to burnout. Many people under a great amount of stress will either over- or undereat.  You might find yourself craving junk foods in particular. This makes sense. Tired people crave sugar and fat, as sugar and fat can give them a temporary boost of energy and elevation in mood. While this can be true of anyone, it especially applies to those experiencing chronically low levels of energy. Keep in mind that you can binge on things other than food as well. Some people shop compulsively or binge on social media sites when they should be working. Burnout is a chronic condition brought on by too much stress and too many obligations, or an unbalanced life. As such, it has behavioral symptoms beyond the consumption of drugs and alcohol. Do you find yourself procrastinating, coming in late, getting into conflicts with your family, friends, or coworkers, or calling in sick when you’re not? If so, it could be an indication of cynicism and overwork. It's not always easy or pleasant to recognize when you might be malingering, so you need to ask yourself if you're making excuses for not completing assignments, snapping at coworkers, or making complaints.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get enough protein. Eat lots of vegetables and fruits. Include grains daily. Consume healthy fats each day. Eat treats in moderation.

Answer: Protein takes care of things like body tissue, internal organs, and muscle as well as your immune system and hormones. People who are naturally thin consume adequate protein daily to help them maintain satisfaction throughout the day.  Try to eat more lean meat rather than fatty meat since leaner proteins are lower in calories. All skinny people eat lean meat, unless they are vegetarian.  The best sources of lean protein are fish, meat, poultry, eggs and low-fat dairy. You can also get protein from soy, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains. Protein might be able to better satisfy hunger and to leave you feeling more satisfied for a longer period of time compared to other foods. It can also help you control your appetite and calorie intake.  The way to calculate how much protein you should be getting in your diet is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. In general, this is about 46 g daily for women and 56 g daily for men. However, the amount will differ based upon age, gender, weight and activity levels. At minimum you want at least five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Those people who manage their weight easily, base large quantities of their diet on fruits and vegetables.  More of those servings should be veggies than fruit. This will help you get the nutrients you need to be healthy, with fewer calories.  Fruits and vegetables are a frequent choice in diets eaten by thin people. These foods are high in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber. They can add bulk to meals and snacks and help make meals more satisfying.  Choose whole fruits and vegetables over juice. Juices do not provide the healthy fiber found in whole, unprocessed fruits and vegetables. Many dieters limit or cut out carbohydrates, especially from the grain group. However, those who do not struggle with weight include grains on a daily basis. However, their choices are healthy, nutrient-dense grains.   Grains are a healthy food group that provides your body with a variety of vitamins, minerals and some fiber. In general, include five to six ounces of grains daily. This amount may be different for your age, gender or activity level.  One ounce of a grain would be: one slice of bread, 1/2 of an English muffin or 1/2 cup of brown rice or pasta.  It's also recommend to make half of your grain choices whole grains. Whole grains are higher in fiber and other nutrients compared to refined grains. People who maintain a healthy weight easily include regular sources of healthy fats in their diet. These types of fats help support your cardiovascular system and may keep you feeling satisfied longer.  Get Omega-3 fats daily. These are found in fatty fish like salmon, trout, catfish, mackerel, as well as flaxseed and walnuts. It is recommended to get at least two servings of fatty fish each week.  You also want monounsaturated fats such as those found in olives, avocados, hazelnuts, almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, and olive oil.  While you definitely do want to have certain fats as part of your diet, there are others that you should try to avoid as much as possible. Trans fats and saturated fats are considered the unhealthiest and should be limited. These are found in fatty cuts of meat, fried foods, processed meats, and coconut oil. Eating like a thin person does not mean being overly concerned with calories or never eating any of your favorite foods. Those who do not struggle with their weight eat a healthy diet that includes the occasional treat.  Don't make certain foods "off-limits." This may cause you to start obsessing over and craving those foods more frequently.  By eating your favorite foods more mindfully you'll find that you're enjoying those foods and you'll be less likely to immediately go back for more. If you end up eating a meal that's higher in calories (like you went out to eat, or had a bigger dessert), don't stress. Try balancing that meal or snack by eating smaller portions for the rest of the day or hit the gym a little harder.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Mix the masa harina and water.

Answer: Add 4 ½ cups (513 g) of masa harina and 3 ¾ cups (887 ml) of cold water to a large bowl. Use clean hands to blend the two together until they are mostly incorporated and a moist dough forms. Set the bowl aside. Masa harina is a corn-based flour used in traditional Mexican cooking. You can usually find it in Latin grocery stories or in the international aisle of other grocery stores. Many online retailers also sell it.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn the three basic rules of the Game. Give up the idea of winning. Learn about the background of Game psychology. Consider adding variations to the Game to make it winnable.

Answer:
The Game is both infinitely simple and ridiculously complex. Also, you lost again, if you're still reading. The rules to the Game are as follows:  Everyone in the world is playing the Game, whether they know it or not. If you think about the Game, you lose the Game. This includes things like desperately trying not to think about the Game, or being tipped off by anyone else talking about losing the Game, or any split-second that the Game randomly pops into your mind. You think about it, you lose. When you lose, you have to announce that you lost. It can be out loud, on the Internet, in writing, or in any number of other ways. Announcing your losses is the only way that the Game is played. Nobody ever wins the game, you can only avoid losing and attempt to make other people lose by spreading the word about the Game. If you're in the Game to win, you're going to lose. If you're in the Game to lose, congratulations! Ironic processing is the psychological phenomenon that describes the inverse relationship between a desire to avoid thoughts and the persistence of those thoughts. In other words, the more you want to stop thinking about the Game, the more you're thinking about the Game.  This is also sometimes called the "white bear phenomenon," based on a reference in Tolstoy, or the "pink elephant phenomenon." The act of deciding to not think about something makes you think about something.  Ironic processing was used to humorous effect in the first Ghostbusters movie, in which the Ghostbusters were told that whatever they thought of would come to destroy them. Despite attempts to clear their minds entirely, someone thinks of the Stay-Puff'd marshmallow man, who arrives in monster-form to destroy Manhattan. Some people play the Game slightly differently, giving players a grace period after losing before you can lose again, or are not required to announce it for a certain period of time. This time can range from a few seconds to half an hour or so. Others put restrictions on ways that a loss can be announced. If you're playing with some friends, decide on winnable rules, if you want. Some may say that death can also end the Game, while others say that the Game will end when the British Prime Minister, President of the United States, or the Pope says the Game is lost on national television. Still others believe that the Game can only be won when someone knocks the hat off the Pope.
