Beating the Freshman 15

Cookie Diet It's a fairly accepted 'fact' among college age women that
they will gain weight their first year away from home. It's
so well accepted, in fact, that nearly anyone will know immediately what you mean when you refer to the 'Freshman 15'. The research doesn't quite bear it out, though. One study conducted 15 years ago found that incoming freshman did gain weight at higher rates than their peers who did not attend college, but the average weight gain for the stressful freshman year was 7 pounds, less than half the mythical 15 pounds they'd been told to expect.
Even more encouraging is that a more recent study of
college weight gain monitored the weight and body fat of freshman women. More than half the students put on weight, but for most it was less than five pounds. One third of the students lost weight. Interestingly, those students who most worried about gaining weight believed that they had gained weight even when the scales showed that they hadn't.
If you're concerned about gaining weight in that first year away from home, here are some concrete suggestions that can help you avoid the dreaded Freshman 15.
Adopt a Healthy Attitude Toward Food.
You could also think about throwing in some fun, reusable water bottles. Those are always handy! For a Healthy Gift Give him or her ways to combat the 'Freshman 15' (you know, the fabled 15 pounds that every freshman puts on when they start college ) Create a portable fitness kit for him, or make her a gift basket full of healthy, organic snacks. Or, instead of throwing it all in a basket, why not put it all in a brand new backpack or laundry bag.
La Weight Loss Researchers place part of the blame for the Freshman 15 on
the tendency to turn to food for comfort. In an unfamiliar setting, with new stresses and new worries, students may turn to the familiar foods that make them feel good to help them get through. Train yourself to eat when hungry - and deal with stress through other means.
De-stress.

Bible Healthy Living Say The corollary to the statement above is that the less you
allow changes and worries to affect you, the less stress
you'll have to deal with. One of the best ways to
stress-proof your body is by eating a healthy diet. Regular exercise and making sure you get enough sleep play a big part, too. When you're body is well-nourished and well-rested, you'll find it much easier to deal with stress without resorting to major snacking.
Watch out for the parties.

Atkins Diet Away from parental supervision for the first time, many
college age students give in to the urge to party. Try to
keep in mind that beer, even light beer, has 100 calories
per every 12 ounces that you drink. You're also a whole lot more likely to snack on high fat junk food like chips when you're drinking. As for other drugs - there are all sorts of reasons not to smoke. Add the fact that it's fattening to the list.
Exercise.

Weight Loss Surgery Take advantage of the gym facilities and any student
privileges you might have by getting regular workouts. Swimming, tennis, aerobics - any sport that you play, any activity that you do will both burn calories, and help reduce the stress of your first year at school.
Socialize.

The Freshman 15 isn't inevitable. Just remember to eat
healthy, exercise, sleep well and have fun. The weight loss will take care of itself.
