www.thecollegehelper.com - The so-called "freshman 15" is a common fear among incoming students. However, this alleged college weight gain is avoidable with common sense and some healthy tips.
While a lot of freshman do experience college weight gain upon entering college, there are definitely ways to stay healthy if you follow a few tips and practice good eating habits.
Make sure you eat good balanced meals and exercise at least 3 times per week. Most colleges have free top-notch workout facilities or offer intramural teams. Also, try to choose the healthier options in the cafeteria. This doesn't mean you have to eat fruit for breakfast and salad for dinner everyday, but you shouldn't try to survie off candy and chips either.
Choosing water over sugary drinks like soda or juice is another way to avoid the freshman 15 without interrupting your busy life as a college student. Also try bringing a reusable water bottle with you to class. This not only saves money, but it also helps keep you hydrated. Oftentimes when we think we're hungry, we're really just thirsty.
Finally, don't forget to get enough sleep and maintain a healthy stress level. Staying up all night to study for an exam may seem like a good idea, but in the long run this behavior is damaging to your health and it affects your metabolism.
Check out my video above to learn more ways to say healthy during college and avoid college weight gain, also known as the freshman 15!
