<p>Such as avoiding the "Freshman 15"!</p>
<p>Don’t eat junk food and try to do some form of exercise.</p>
<p>Eat food (not jalape</p>
<p>Be aware of how much you are eating. That might be harder than it sounds because there’s free (junk) food at every corner: pizza at club meetings, cookies at the department colloquium, candy from the HA, chips and beer at friends’ places, etc.</p>
<p>dont stay up till 3 am</p>
<p>Get off the internet. Helps tons.</p>
<p>Any recommendations for easy healthy foods to keep inside the dorms? =)</p>
<p>Air popped popcorn, w/low butter&salt
Veggie sticks
Wheat thins
Granola</p>
<p>Kashi granolas are great</p>
<p>Fruits are always a classic option as well.</p>
<p>The Freshman 15 is an urban legend. I did a study in statistics, and very few people gained significant amounts of weight their first year in college.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, if you want to stay healthy, exercise, avoid the dessert bar, and run away when someone says he or she has a cold.</p>
<p>If I go out jogging every morning, what should I wear?</p>
<p>Should I put on jogging pants or just jog in my pajamas? Would that be gross?</p>
<p>you can’t be serious</p>
<p>Get enough sleep (important for overall health and too little sleep is associated with weight gain) </p>
<p>Avoid alcohol and drugs!</p>
<p>Eat real food. (avoid processed foods, soda, sugar added foods)</p>
<p>Be active.</p>

<p>Eat meat, vegetables, fruit, salad… drink milk and water. Weight-lift 4x a week, don’t jog (if you really want to run do HIIT). Take protein, creatine, fish-oil/flaxseed supplements. For snacks in your room have peanut butter, bananas, yoghurt. Smoke weed instead of drinking alcohol. Make sure you get the same amount of sleep each night. That amount varies per person: could be 5-9 hours, but as long as its the same most nights.</p>
<p>Work out 4-6 times a week.</p>
<p>Go for the salad bar most of the time, but don’t completely avoid fatty stuff. It’s easy to go crazy and eat a ton of high-calorie foods if you haven’t had them in a long time.</p>
<p>
And how would you convince me that body builders are healthier than runners?</p>
<p>Do Insanity. look it up, I just finished month 1, have lost 15 pounds of fat, feel healthier than ever. Month 2 is gonna be a killer</p>
<p>Go vegetarian
Don’t binge drink 3x/week
Run, or do some other form of cardio
Lift some weights to maintain muscle tone, but you don’t have to go overboard
Eat more vegetables than grains, dairy, or nuts
Don’t eat granola (SUPER high in calories)
Choose skim milk over 2% or whole
Don’t eat in excess</p>
<p>If you do all or most of these, you won’t gain much weight if any.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>I probably wouldn’t… but its true</p>
<p>Hit the gym, don’t drink soda or surgary juices, eat meat for one meal, and eat your veggies.</p>
