Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Reduce the number of calories you eat. Make changes gradually. Prioritize protein. Keep eating healthy fats. Cut out sugar, alcohol, and unnecessary oils and fat. Eat frequently. Take daily vitamin and mineral supplements.

Answer: When you start cutting you should begin to eat fewer calories than you typically burn in a day. This is referred to as being in a caloric deficit. When you are eat less than your body is burning, your body begins to use up fat to make up the difference. For a cutting diet, try eating 10 calories for every pound of lean muscle mass that you have. For example, if you have a lean muscle mass of 180 pounds, you should only eat 1800 calories a day while cutting. As you begin cutting, you should reduce your calorie intake gradually. This will help you adjust mentally to the new amount of food you will be eating. It will also help your body adjust physically to processing less food every day. An abrupt change in the amount of food you are eating can impact your metabolism and increase fat storage. In addition to reducing your total number of calories, you also need to adjust what you are eating. Make protein your food priority, as this will help you keep your muscle mass in place and will help you burn more calories.  However, it's also important to eat a variety of foods to give your body the nutrients it needs. In general, eat low-fat foods and try to limit your carbohydrates. Some great foods to eat while cutting include grilled meats, vegetables, low-fat cottage cheese, eggs, and almonds. When you are cutting you do not want to cut all fats. Healthy fats, such as those in fish, seeds, and nuts, are important because they help keep your body systems operating well. They also provide you with the energy you will need for an increase in aerobic exercise. Remember, eating fat doesn't automatically make you fat. It includes more calories than proteins or carbohydrates but fat can make you feel more full and energetic than other diet components. When deciding what to eat while cutting, try to pick items that can be eaten without the addition of sugar or excess oils. This can be accomplished in most cases by choosing a method of cooking that doesn't require the addition of oil or sugar, such as steaming or grilling. You should also avoid drinking alcohol when cutting. It changes to sugar in your body and adds empty calories to your diet. When you are eating less food than your body uses every day, it's a good idea to eat often. Giving your body some food at regular intervals will stave off extreme hunger better than eating 3 meals and will give your body and mind the energy they need to stay strong and active.  Spreading your calories out over the course of the day will not help you lose more weight. It will simply make you less hungry throughout the day. Try eating 6 to 8 very small meals every day. Typically, this is the same number of meals that body builders who are bulking up eat. However, these meals will be much smaller. Some light meals you can eat on the go include cottage cheese, nuts, raw vegetables, fruit, Greek yogurt, and grilled meats, such as chicken or salmon. If you are on a reduced calorie diet, you may not be getting all of the nutrients that your body needs. Find a daily multivitamin and a mineral supplement, such as iron or calcium.

Answer: If you decide to breed your Corydoras, you of course need to know that you have both males and females. The differences are easy to notice, and you can check them by looking at your fish from above. Females will be a little larger, with a rounder and broader body, while males tend to have slightly larger pectoral fins.  If you intend to breed your Corydoras, you should try to get a ratio of two or three males for each female. If your fish are ready to spawn, you will notice the males chasing the females and mating in the T position. Once they have mated, the female will lay her eggs against the aquarium glass, or among the leaves of the plants in your tank.  In the wild, Corydoras usually spawn during the rainy season, so you can encourage mating by simulating these conditions. If you begin to notice your Corydoras engaging in spawning behavior,  perform a water change with slightly cooler water. Once you notice eggs in the tank, you should separate them from the parents. Corydoras will eat their own and each other’s eggs, so if you want new Corydoras, you should make sure the eggs and parents are in different tanks.  One way to do this is to move the Corydoras to a separate breeding tank when you start to notice them spawning. Once the females lay eggs in the tank, you can move the fish back into their regular tank, and let the eggs hatch in peace. You can also remove eggs to their own hatching and raising tank after they have been laid. Keep the water conditions as similar as possible. If the eggs were laid in the plants, you can simply transfer the plants. If you’d prefer not to remove the whole plant, it is fine to cut off the parts where the eggs are and just move that. If the eggs are on the side of the tank, remove them by rolling your finger over them. Eggs are tough, so you shouldn’t do any damage removing them this way. The eggs should hatch in three to five days. Once that happens, the new hatchlings, called “fry,” will be able to survive on their yolk sac until they start swimming freely. Once that happens, provide some brine shrimp nauplii (a type of larva) or decomposing plant material for them to eat. After about a week, you can start including microworms into their diet.

Answer:
Tap the tape against your skin first to make it less sticky, then lay it down across your nail. You can do it vertically, horizontally, or even diagonally. You can even use multiple strips to create a striped or banded effect!  Use circle stickers to create a French tip! For a polka-dot effect, skip the tape and use a tiny brush or a toothpick to make little dots of clear polish instead. Do just one nail for now.
