Three Ways to Avoid Freshman 15

Most of you guys probably know what "Freshman 15" is but some don't so I'll explain it here. So Freshman 15 is the extra 15 pounds you will gain after you finish your first year of college. Below is a list of ways to avoid the Freshman 15:


1) Know Your Eating Habits
I know food is addicting but you have to control your eating habits. You go out to eat everyday with your friends is a popular scene for freshmen. Even though mingling is the ultimate way to make friends, its the worst road to the Freshman 15. You can eat whatever you want at whenever you want. That is college. But above all, just try to control your eating at night. 


2) Drinking
Drinking defines the real college life but when you do it too often, you cannot escape the judgment of the Freshman 15. Drinking once-twice a week is alright but over that will add on to your weights. Alcohol are addicting and so is partying so be ready to control yourself and your weight. 


3) Meal Plans
The transition from healthier, home cooked meals to processed food from the dining hall can take a toll on your flat tummy. All meal plans differ from campus to campus, but they are probably generally pretty similar. The dining hall offers buffet style breakfast, lunch and dinner. Unless you are a bottomless pit with a speedy metabolism, you probably don’t need to stuff your face for 3 meals a day. Try only filling one plate with a good variety of food groups, and then get more if you really still feel hungry. 


No one can help you prevent the Freshman 15, ONLY you can! G'luck guys!
